So it seems as though
winter is well and truly on its way, and with it has come a cold. And
as if the coughing and sneezing isn’t bad enough, it always comes
with a side order of dry flaky skin and cracked lips. It’s so
tempting to reach for a hardcore exfoliator and scrub like your life
depends on it, but it won’t do your skin any good in the long run.
Instead I usually reach for the miracle cure that is aloe vera. It
soothes red skin and gets rid of flakiness insanely quickly. Mine
is from SBC Gels, priced at £11 for 125g, but a quick search on
Boots and Superdrug revealed a wide variety to choose from.
For my lips I turn to
one of Lush’s lip scrubs. They look quite dry and powdery in the
pot, but they’re surprisingly gentle and feel very moisturising
when using them. Plus they smell and taste great – I went for
‘Sweet Lips’ which has a chocolate taste but could quite happily
have come home with all of them.
I have 2 go-to lip
balms: Palmer’s Cocoa Butter (are you sensing a theme yet?) and
Figs & Rouge in Cherry & Vanilla. Again, both smell good
enough to eat, and leave your lips feeling soft, smooth and
moisturised.
