As soon as the seasons turn, my lips inevitably start to get really dry! After reading about some of the ingredients in common chapsticks only contributing to this problem (avoid ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin!), I started to make sure I was using hydrating and healing products.

3 Hydrating Lip-Savers:

1. Sugar scrub by Sarah Happ – Simple to apply and remove. I put it on once or twice a week because it only takes a minute, and removes all flaky or dead skin. A quick and easy mask that is super sweet to the taste too;) I have had the same jar for a year!

2.  Calendula Lip Conditioner – Calendula is a healing ointment (that can act as an anti-inflammatory) that I have used for healing scars and dry skin on my little ones and I for years. So when I discovered it in this lip balm, I was so eager to try it. It leaves your lips super soft for a long period of time which is such a relief! It has really saved me from dry and chapped lips. Some of its other ingredients include: avocado oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil.

3. Lip Sheers by Beautycounter – I actually love the look of lip stain, and how long it lasts, but it usually leaves my lips pretty dried out! So these lip sheers have been a really nice alternative. They are comparable to lip tints, since they are a more sheer color, but also super silky and hydrating. It’s layerable depending how fancy you want to go;) A few favorite colors for fall: Terra for a Neutral, Scarlett for a true Red, and layering Scarlett + Raisin for a darker red hue as pictured.

Do you have the same problem? What are some things that have helped you??

Have a great start to your week!

*I started switching over all my makeup to clean beauty products this year, which is how I  discovered Beautycounter. I loved the products and philosophy so much, I joined the company! Feel free to email me for color matches or any questions you have!
