We believe it’s due to winter (and partly it is), but your lips being dry shouldn’t be normal. It’s likely you’ve tried all kinds of lip balms and none of them work for you, but according to Laia Puig, head of cosmetics at LPG, there are two factors you’re not taking into account: dehydration and age.
Because of them you may notice that your lips are irritated, tight and with a fairly uncomfortable burning sensation. Not to mention the loss of volume, color and shape, the dryness and the wrinkles that may appear around. The solution? Good habits and good products. Nothing more, nothing less.
Drinking water, getting enough sleep, and not smoking or drinking alcohol does half the job. In addition, there are lip masks that help regeneration, reinforce the hydrolipidic barrier and contribute to not losing moisture. This LPG one is the perfect example.
LPG and its favorite cellulose lip mask
Mascarilla Labial Bio-Celulosa Post-Tratamiento de LPG.
If there’s anything I regret, it’s not having used the LPG Post-Treatment Bio-Cellulose Lip Mask since the start of winter. It’s a marvel. Designed to treat both the lip and the contour, in just ten minutes, it restores hydration, softness and a fuller look. Moreover, the sensation is fresh, comfortable and very pleasant.
Its 100% natural bio-cellulose base, obtained from the fermentation of coconut water, creates an occlusive effect that keeps moisture in and helps active ingredients penetrate better. Hyaluronic acid provides intense and lasting hydration; and the glossum extract improves its appearance, reducing flaking and restoring softness.
The formula is completed with hexapeptides, a combination of amino acids that helps to smooth lines and maintain the elasticity of the lip contour. After use, you’ll notice the area looks smoother, plumper and more comfortable. Best of all, it’s easy to use, quick, and the effect is immediate.
Other alternatives I like
Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Cherry Lip Mask.
Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Cherry Lip Mask. Another option is this affordable mask that, in fifteen minutes, provides intense hydration and leaves the lips soft, supple and much more comfortable. Its formula with cherry and panthenol nourishes, conditions and helps to keep the skin barrier strong.
Sephora Collection Cherry Lip Mask.
Sephora Collection Cherry Lip Mask. If you’re looking for a quick effect, this mask works in just five minutes. It’s designed for dry lips that need immediate softness and an extra dose of hydration. One thing in its favor is that it fits perfectly to the shape of the lips, with a second-skin feel that’s very comfortable and easy to integrate.
It also contains cherry extract that helps to smooth, hydrate and improve the appearance of the lips from the first application. The result is lips that are softer, more flexible and visibly prettier, with no heavy or sticky sensation.
