Tested for you: Cracked Lips? 3 natural products for the winter
The cold winter weather outdoors and dry heated air indoors are extremely challenging for the lips. Unlike the rest of the skin on the face, the lips do not have sebaceous glands to protect them from external influences. The skin on the lips cannot form its own protective layer of oil, so it relies on external care.
In addition, moisture from saliva or drinks can further dry out the lips. This results in dry and sometimes cracked lips. This can be quite painful, as the skin here is particularly sensitive to irritation due to numerous nerve endings. Simply applying lipstick to cover up the problem is not an ideal solution either. After all, what color looks good on cracked skin? None!!!
Revitalizing sugar & coconut Lippen-Peeling from The Today Project
A lip scrub—used regularly—helps to “heal” dryness and cracks and prevents them from occurring in the first place. Sugar crystals, coconut oil, and glycerin make the delicate skin smooth, soft, and nourished by removing impurities and dead cells.
Xylitol (also known as birch sugar or xylitol) is responsible for removing dead skin cells. It tastes similar to sugar but has fewer calories. Xylitol preserves and moisturizes the lips. Fractionated coconut oil is a light, moisturizing oil that softens the lips without leaving an unpleasant greasy feeling. The moisturizer glycerin provides the skin with intensive moisture.
It’s easy to use: apply daily or as needed. I use it all day long because it leaves my lips feeling smoother and more nourished, and my favorite red lipstick always looks perfect. Simply massage a small amount of the product gently into your lips using circular movements. Remove any excess with a cotton pad. Then apply lip balm or lipstick. The glass container of the lip scrub, like all other containers from The Today Project, is reusable and can be returned to the point of sale.

Anti-Aging Lip Care from That’s Me Organic
The lip balm is particularly beneficial in dry heated air or cold weather. Various plant substances help to protect the lips from external influences. The combination of shea butter, candelilla wax, and beeswax forms a nourishing protective film on the lips. In addition, hyaluronic acid ensures plump, supple lips, while aloe vera soothes and regenerates. Organic shea butter, plant oils, and natural waxes protect against dehydration and environmental influences. Vitamin E also complements the care with antioxidant protection.
Application: Apply to the lips as needed – ideal for your daily skincare routine, as a little pick-me-up between applications, or as a nourishing base under lipstick. Tip: The Lip Care Stick can also be applied thinly around the eye area if you notice any tightness there.

CultureAndCream Author from Munich
To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
