Summer is a season of fun in the sun, but it can also be tough on our lips. Exposure to the sun, dry air from air conditioning, and increased outdoor activities can lead to dry, chapped lips. Maintaining lip moisture during these hot months is essential, and our unscented organic lip balm is always with me. It's Crafted with organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, coconut oil, and organic beeswax, it offers natural, powerful hydration to keep my lips soft and smooth all summer long.
Here are some innovative and practical tips I use to ensure my lips stay hydrated and healthy especially during the summer months.
Drink Plenty of Water
Why It Matters:
Hydration starts from the inside out. When I'm properly hydrated, my skin, including my lips, benefits immensely.
Tip:
I aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I carry a reusable glass or metal water bottle to sip throughout the day. For added flavor and hydration, I infuse my water with fruits like lemon, cucumber, or berries. As well as adding extra minerals and electrolytes with Baja gold sea salt & trace minerals. Staying hydrated helps maintain the moisture balance of my lips, preventing them from drying out.
Use a Humidifier
Why It Matters:
Air conditioning can dry out the air in my home, leading to dehydrated skin and lips.
Tip:
I use a humidifier in my living and sleeping areas to maintain moisture in the air. This helps keep my lips hydrated while I relax and sleep. A humidifier ensures that the air in my home remains moist, providing a comfortable environment for my skin and lips.
Apply Our Unscented Organic Lip Balm Regularly
Why It Matters:
Lip balm creates a barrier that helps lock in moisture and protects my lips from harsh elements.
Tip:
Our unscented organic lip balm, made with organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, coconut oil, and organic beeswax, offers deep hydration and nourishment. I apply it frequently, especially after eating, drinking, or swimming. I always ensure I have our lip balm with me especially during my morning routine right after I brush my teeth. And again in the evening to ensure my lips are properly hydrated while I sleep.
Exfoliate Gently
Why It Matters:
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, allowing better absorption of moisturizing products especially like our lip balm.
Tip:
I use our Invigorate Coffee & Raw Honey Scrub as my exfoliator. I gently massage it onto my lips in circular motions once or twice a week, then rinse off and apply our hydrating lip balm. This routine leaves my lips feeling smooth and refreshed. Regular exfoliation helps keep my lips soft and ready to absorb the moisturizing benefits of our lip balm.
Incorporate Hydrating Foods
Why It Matters:
Eating foods with high water content can help keep my entire body, including my lips, hydrated.
Tip:
I include hydrating foods in my diet such as watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and strawberries. These foods provide extra hydration and essential vitamins that promote healthy skin. A diet rich in hydrating foods supports overall skin health, including my lips.
Keeping my lips moisturized in the summer heat is essential for maintaining a healthy, beautiful smile. By incorporating these innovative and practical hydration hacks into my routine, I can protect my lips from the harsh summer elements and enjoy soft, smooth lips all season long. Our unscented organic lip balm is my go-to solution for ensuring my lips remain hydrated and radiant.
