Healthy Beautiful Lips


Do you have unhealthy lips? Are they dry and cracked? Our lips are super sensitive and need special care like no other skin on our bodies.  
Bring back your health smile with these tips!

1. Don't Use Straws
Straws make your pucker stay puckered much longer than you may want. Each time you take a drink from a straw, you draw the skin in around your lips. Once in a while at a restaurant is ok, but daily can add up to wear and tear on your lips. Choose water bottles that flow not ones with straws that suck.
Save the pucker for the kissing the ones you love!

2. Drink Water
Hydration makes pretty skin. Grab a 20 oz or more water bottle and drink up. NO straws, right?
As the water boy says “H20 is better!”

3. Use Nontoxic Ingredients
Products that are applied to the skin can quickly be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the case of the lips, those products also tend to get consumed as we lick our lips or talk.  Unfortunately, many commercial lip products contain petroleum-based ingredients, such as mineral oil, that are not only drying to the skin, but can be highly toxic as well.  Avoid mineral oil (petroleum based product), parabens, lead, and other synthetic oils. Read the labels and look for plant-based ingredients.
You are eating whatever you put on your lips!

You want to make sure you are making the best choices with your lip care.  It is important avoid ingredients like mineral oil that just sit on top of your lips giving the illusion of moisturizing. Ingredients like natural beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamin E are heathy choices for lip care.  These ingredients penetrate deep into the skin to moisturize at a cellular level, leaving lips feeling great when initially applied and even after the product has worn off!

I know you are thinking, where do I start? 
I recommend starting with our Lip Exfoliant.  Sometimes the lips need some extra help in removing dead skin cells, toxins, and pollutants that can get into the pores of the skin and cause drying and unhealthy looking lips. Exfoliants gently exfoliate the lips, removing dead and dry skin cells, leaving them smooth and kissably soft.
Apply a small amount to the lips and circular motions to increase circulation.  A little bit goes a long way, so use sparingly. Let this sit on your lips for a minute or so, then wipe away with a soft, damp cloth. Once or twice a week should do it. In the winter months when the lips tend to be more dry, you can exfoliate daily with a gentle, naturally-based exfoliant.
I would then move on to moisturizing your lips with our Cheery Lip Butter. This is a Perfect choice morning and night to add a moisturizing base before applying lip care like lip sticks and glosses. You will love how moisturized your lips feel! Moisturizing on a regular basis will leave them feeling soft, nourished, and absolutely amazing. Click here to get this Duo
If you are worried about fine lines around the lips, I recommend trying our Anti-Aging Serum around the outside of your lips after exfoliating and before adding color to your lips.


Taking time to pamper your lips always pays off. Healthy Skin, Healthy Life - Something you can smile about!

Lemon Essential Oil

It’s time to stop making lemonade when life hands you lemons! Why? Because lemons can do so much more than that! Pure, therapeutic-grade lemon essential oils to use aromatically or combined with other essential oils or bases can really light up your life! Lemon Essential Oil can be found in both concentrated Droppers, and in the convenient Lemon Essential Oil Spray, which is perfectly diluted for use as a body spray or room spray. Lemon Essential Oil is cold pressed from the peel of the citrus limon plant, which often grows as a shrub or tree. It’s takes about 50 lemons to create enough essential oil for each bottle of Essential Oil, making each drop very concentrated and aromatic. It’s important to remember to use whole lemons for lemonade or flavor your water, do not use Lemon Essential Oils in water or to drink, ever. Really. Lemon Essential Oil is well known to light up your day with uplifting qualities, and is often used to help support the immune system, ward o

Skin Care Tips for Dry Skin

Image
Dry skin occurs when skin doesn’t retain sufficient moisture, resulting in redness, cracking, flaking, or scaling.  Often, the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis) becomes more dry when the outside humidity levels are low, such as during dry and cold winter months.  When the air is dry, the epidermis must work harder to retain sufficient moisture in the skin to keep it soft and supple. So how can you avoid dry skin and how can you treat it if you have it? DRINK LOTS OF WATER  Staying hydrated internally is crucial for proper cell hydration including skin cells.  When you are dehydrated, the skin suffers too. Experts agree that to stay properly hydrated, it is recommended to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. AVOID HOT SHOWERS Although it is tempting to take those long, hot showers...especially during these winter months, hot water breaks down the lipid barriers of the skin which decreases natural internal moisture.  Warm showers are f
