I'm as happy as the next girl to pull out my boots and trench coats as the weather cools off, but one thing I always miss about summers in Austin is the humidity. At the right time of day, some sun with just the right amount of humidity can be hot...not sun hot, but sexy hot. You know, when your skin is all dewy and moist and touchable? Mhm. It's still hot and sunny in Texas, but for many of you, the chill of fall is officially in the air, and there's nothing moist about it.
It's time to revamp your skin treatments to combat dryness and Vaseline (as awesome as it is) will not always do the trick. Especially on your lips. As a teenager, to keep my lips soft (for teenage reasons) I would sleep with tons of Vaseline on them and after brushing my teeth in the morning, I would brush my lips with my wet toothbrush. Harsh much? Consequently I became a Chapstick addict because my lips would crack the minute air hit them because I had exfoliated them to death. Thank goodness those days are over. Enter Philosophy.
Philosophy reminds us to "always kiss goodnight" and makes sure we're kissable with Kiss Me Tonight Intense Lip Therapy ($20). It's a nighttime treatment that will have your lips in top smooching condition in no time. If you're dealing with some serious dryness and cracking, this is a heavy duty treatment--you want this stuff. If your lip situation is cool and you just want to maintain soft, smooth, full lips throughout the winter--you want this stuff. I don't use it every night, but I think it's a must to add to your p.m. beauty routine.
Quick Tip:
Use Philosophy's Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub ($15), then apply Kiss Me Tonight Intense Lip Therapy right before bed. The next day, apply one of those awesome Soft Lips balms ($9) and you will fight the urge to kiss your own self!
Soft lips and happy smooches to all!
Yes! This is a good one :) Their entire supernatural collection for fall is great, too!
