10 Remedies for Youthful Lips

The skin on your lips, like the delicate area around your eyes, is different to the rest of your skin because it doesn’t have oil glands. The eye area makes it by drawing oils from your face but your lips don’t do that. This explains why, no matter how often you scrub your lips and apply treatments, they always default back to dry.

The age-old usage of petroleum jelly does work, when it comes to protecting your lips from the elements, but it doesn’t do much for skin that is already dry. Try to use lip care twice daily, once to protect and once to repair.

Due to tissue composition, the lips are naturally dry and more prone to sensitivity and dehydration. Luckily the SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair is a powerful antioxidant therapy. Over time, dryness and environmental aging cause the borders around the mouth to lose their youthful outline leaving behind ‘smoker lines’ or ‘bar codes’. This treatment achieves younger-looking lips by attracting and retaining water, in turn re-shaping, rejuvenating and replenishing.
