Dry or chapped lips: 5 mistakes to avoid to regain comfort and suppleness

Dry or chapped lips: 5 mistakes to avoid to regain comfort and suppleness

Dry lips or chapped lips affect many people, especially when temperatures drop, the air becomes dry, we spend a lot of time outdoors or are exposed to the sun and wind for long periods of time.
This fragile area, devoid of sebaceous glands, quickly becomes dehydrated. The result: tightness, small patches of skin, cracks, and even painful fissures. In addition to discomfort, these areas can also make your smile look dull and tired.

The good news? It's entirely possible to repair your lips and restore their suppleness and shine by correcting a few simple habits. Here are the 5 mistakes to avoid and how the lip duo of exfoliating scrub and nourishing overnight balm/mask can transform your beauty routine.

1. Limiting external care: a common mistake for dry lips

Many people think that a simple moisturizing lip balm applied every now and then is enough. However, if your lips are already dry or damaged, they need a complete treatment that begins with exfoliation.
Dead cells create a barrier preventing nourishing active ingredients from penetrating deep and repairing effectively.

The lip scrub , made with organic cane sugar and scented with pomegranate, gently removes small pieces of skin. Used once or twice a week, it prepares your lips to receive the balm, for lasting comfort and optimal hydration.

2. Using irritating or artificially scented products

Some lip balms contain menthol, camphor, or artificial fragrances. While they may provide a pleasant cooling sensation, they can actually irritate and further dry out the thin skin of the lips, especially if the skin is severely dry.

The velvety pomegranate balm is formulated with 99.9% naturally derived ingredients, including shea butter, coconut butter, and avocado oil. Its vegan, gluten-free, and COSMOS-certified formula intensely nourishes while protecting even the most sensitive lips. This restorative treatment is the ideal ally for restoring suppleness and softness to damaged lips .

3. Neglecting antioxidant protection for lips

Lips do not have protective melanin, which makes them particularly vulnerable to premature aging and external aggressions (pollution, UV rays, temperature variations).
A good lip care routine should include powerful antioxidants to fight free radicals that cause dryness and fine lines.

The lip duo contains resveratrol, Quebec haskap, and patented vitamin C: three active ingredients known to protect, repair, and maintain lip suppleness. This antioxidant shield helps prevent lip volume loss and the appearance of vertical wrinkles around the mouth.

4. Forgetting internal hydration and gentle cleansing

Moisturizing your lips isn't just about applying external care. If your body lacks water, your lips will feel it immediately.
Drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day and choose foods rich in water (melon, cucumber, citrus fruits) and good fats (avocado, nuts, chia seeds). This helps maintain optimal lip hydration .

In the evening, gentle makeup removal is essential. Use a gentle cleanser or cleansing oil to remove makeup, impurities, and pollution. This prepares the skin to receive a nourishing and restorative treatment, such as a balm applied as an overnight mask.

5. Why a simple lip balm is not enough to repair dry lips

Moisturizing is great. But to achieve truly soft and healthy lips, you also need to repair and protect them for the long term.
A basic balm acts mainly on the surface, while a complete treatment acts on repair, nutrition and protection.

The balm has a silky texture and an ultra-glossy finish that immediately smooths lips. Used during the day, it protects against external aggressions; applied as a night mask, it intensely repairs during sleep. The result: plumped, comfortable, and visibly smoother lips upon waking. As proof of its effectiveness, it receives a perfect score of 100/100 on Yuka.
