Recently I have been suffering from dry, flaky lips, a common problem at this time of year but one that is easily fixed. 'Just like the skin on the rest of the face, lips need to be moisturised. Most people wouldnt dream of not moisturising their face, yet they often neglect to give their lips the care and attention they need' says Dr Jennifer Jones, Consultant Dermatologist.
First I've been using Blistex Lip Massage, £1.83, every morning. The ridged applicator buffs away dead skin while the balm is super softening. Next, to add a hint of colour I've been layering on Miners Tin o' Tint in Watermelon, £2.99, which is nicely nourishing and imparts a pretty flush of pink colour to my lips. Lastly at night, I slather on the very versatile Lucas Paw Paw Ointment, from £3.90, (it doubles as a balm for eczema, dry elbows, sun burn and just about everything) - I keep a large pot by my bed.
Blistex and Miners are both available at Boots.com; click here to visit the Paw Paw shop online...
