Let’s be honest, lips go thorough a lot. From eating, to drinking, to makeup, to sunlight, our pout is setup to endure a world of daily habits and seasonal changes. Indeed, there is nothing more irritating than trying to add a swipe of luscious lip color to dry or flakey lips—yet still few of us take the time (or know how) to properly pamper lips with the care they deserve. 

Much like our skin, lips need the same hydrating and repairing elements that help keep our complexion looking supple and smooth. Are parched lips your makeup burden? No worries. Give your pout a much-needed break and treat lips to our COSMEDIX-approved 3 step lip care routine:

Exfoliate with Glow Bamboo Brightening Mask

Exfoliation isn’t just for your face. Lift away the same dry, chapped skin that can irk your complexion by extending that gentle exfoliation to your pout with COSMEDIX Glow Bamboo Brightening Mask. Packed with Vitamin C, Bamboo Extract and Niacinamide, this 2-in-1 face mask and scrub helps reveal a smoother lip canvas by improving uneven texture. Use this scrub on your lips two to three times a week to help improve the look of peeling or flaking while encouraging healthy skin renewal and boosting product absorption. Simply dispense a pea-sized amount onto fingertip, then gently apply in circular motions to the lips before rinsing with warm water.

Treat Overnight with Enhance Lip-Plumping Mask

Now that your lips are feeling fresh and exfoliated, it’s time to pamper your pout with hydrating ingredients that help revive and restore the look of skin. Just like the rest of your body, the lips dive into recovery mode while you sleep, making night the opportune time to coat lips in a blanket of transforming oils and emollients that help enhance their appearance. The COSMEDIX Enhance Lip Plumping Mask doubles as a pout-restoring overnight treatment that helps improve the lips’ moisture barrier to quench skin with deep hydration. Apply a thick layer to lips before bed for an ultra-nourishing overnight treatment that softens lips and helps them appear fuller and more supple over time.

Freshen Up with Lumi Crystal Liquid Crystal Lip Hydrator

Just because your stepping away from lipstick for a day doesn’t mean that you must sacrifice a high-gloss shine and a tint of color. Lumi Crystal Liquid Crystal Lip hydrator is the lip-loving sister to our best selling Opti Crystal Eye Serum and is infused with the same liquid crystal technology that delivers age-defying hydration to the skin. Drench your lips in this iridescent lip topper during the day to deliver a burst of moisture to recovering lips while helping plump the look of fine lines and wrinkles for a rejuvenated, softer-looking pout.
