I’m a bit obsessed with lip care — dry, chapped lips drive me crazy. I keep lip products everywhere (desk, car, bathroom, purse, next to the bed) so I’m never caught without something on hand. Soft, kissable lips are something we all want, right?
I’m sharing a few of my favorite tips for super-soft lips and one must-have this winter: Burt’s Bees Lip Butters.
Burt’s Bees Lip Butters have been a lifesaver for me. They’re 100% natural and made with responsibly sourced shea butter to keep lips hydrated with a soft sheen. They work well for all-day moisture, and you can layer them under or over lipstick. I love the botanical flavors:
– Limited-Edition Vanilla Clove: comforting vanilla with a warm clove twist.
– Lavender & Honey: my go-to bedtime scent — calming and soothing.
– Orange & Pistachio: bright and cheery — reminds me of summer; my most-used flavor.
– Rosemary & Lemon: energizing, great for a midday aromatherapy pick-me-up.
With natural ingredients, responsible sourcing, and an easy-to-open, recyclable tin, this eco-conscious mom is a fan. You can find them at your local Ulta or online at ulta.com.
My top tips for ultra-smooth, soft lips:
1. Lip Scrub
Once or twice a week I do a lip scrub to remove dry skin and reveal smooth lips. You can buy one or make your own. A few simple DIY mixes:
– Sugar + honey
– Sugar + coconut oil
– Honey + brown sugar + coconut oil
Mix sugar with the other ingredient about 1:1, gently rub onto lips (or use an old toothbrush), rinse, and finish with Burt’s Bees Lip Butter for lightweight, creamy moisture.
2. Keep Moisturized
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Winter weather, wind, and indoor heat dry out lips fast. Apply balm before going outside, at bedtime, and even under lipstick. Burt’s Bees Lip Butters feel lightweight and never greasy or sticky, so they’re great under or over lipstick.
3. Drink Water
Hydration matters for your whole body — including your lips. Most of us don’t drink enough water (coffee doesn’t count). Drinking more water helps your skin glow and keeps lips plump.
4. Lip Masks
Don’t forget lip masks. They give a big moisture boost and are perfect when your lips need extra care.
