Don’t Flake Out: Soothe Your Lips With C.O Bigelow!

1111lipsootherscrub.jpgWinter sucks in more ways than one, but there’s nothing worse than what the cold weather does to your standard good looks. Not to mention, you have to bundle up so much that your entire body is covered in winter gear, and pretty much all that can be seen are your eyes and lips. So you better be sure they look good.

Unfortunately, one of Old Man Winter’s favorite tricks is drying your lips out. And he’s really good at it too. Sigh. What’s a girl to do?

Dry, chapped lips are not attractive and nobody wants to kiss them. Lip balm can only go so far in curing chapped lips (let’s face it, flaky lips are not OK, even if they are tinted a pretty sun-kissed pink). But luckily, C.O. Bigelow is here to save you with their Soothing Lip Buffer.

Basically, you put some of the balm on your finger, rub it onto your lips, feel the cool tingle of the minty sugar particles, and then wipe it off. It tastes good and it makes your lips feel amazing. Old Man Winter’s got nothing on you now. Read More »


Winter Skin Survival

winter skinUnless you’re an Eskimo, you probably don’t enjoy getting tossed around by those blistering cold winds. Whew, do you feel the tightening, arid effects of the chilly weather on your skin ’ dry patches on your face, chapped lips and flaky hands and feet.

No matter how much you lather on the moisturizer, your precious epidermis simply won’t return to its supple state. Well, have no fear; we have some wonderful tips on how to get glowing all winter long:

Shorten Shower Time

Healthy skin has a protective surface layer called the stratum corneum, and as the temperature drops this natural barrier becomes vulnerable to damage. Although there’s nothing quite like a long shower, lingering in hot water will drain essential moisture and leave the skin drier and more susceptible to irritation.

Adios Astringents

For those especially chilly months, skip the application of anything containing alpha-hydroxy acid or alcohol. They strip the skin of natural oils that are necessary in maintaining moisture.

Happy Humidity

Having a humidifier in your bedroom will help prevent your skin from drying out. Moisture in the air soothes dry lips and chapped skin.

Rapid Repairs

Since less blood flows to the skin when you’re cold, it’s a little malnourished. So you need to give it extra lovin’ with products that contain amino-peptides, which work to renew the skin’s outer layer. We recommend Olay Regenerist. (regenerist.com) Read More »
