For so long, beauty companies didn’t pay attention to lip care. I’m not talking about lip colour, I mean the stuff that actually cares for your lips. Lips – a bit like hands and feet – are among the most hardworking parts of the body. We move them constantly; we lick them when they are dry; they are one of the first parts of the body to reveal dehydration and, like the rest of our face, they are susceptible to the elements… So, needless to say, we need to look after them Of course, lip balms have existed for what seems like aeons but, let’s face it, they were never really that sophisticated. If a lip product wasn’t a lipstick, it was at best petroleum jelly and at worst some nauseatingly sweet concoction that really should be geared towards three-year-olds who are yet to develop a sense of good taste. Nowadays, you can get all sorts of lip care; your everyday basic – but nice – balm, ones with SPF for sun protection, overnight masks that make all the difference to your lips come the morning… And, if you still fancy a hint of colour as well as a balm, you no longer have to choose one or the other. Ah, the beauty industry is finally reading our lips.
