What is right smack in the middle of every face? Our lips, of course! Thanks to them we can smile, kiss, whistle and whisper to contentment. Why, then, are so many lips so thanklessly mistreated?
ÂÂ
Perhaps some have become accustomed to less than perfection. (To those, please note: lips are not born to itch!) Others want remedies but are misled into using lipsticks and ointments that contain petroleum, alcohol and mineral oil, which are drying and irritating. Meanwhile, avoiding all applications leaves our lips exposed to heat, sun, cold, wind, saliva and, yes, teeth!
So what is the answer?
To shield your lips from harm while restoring them to a supple, soft, smooth texture and youthful appearance, we recommend a naturally organic moisturizer that replenishes and protects without chemicals.ÂÂ
And that raises another point: Equally important to your lip care is nourishment for the body.
Simply drinking plenty of water to replenish what you lose naturally facilitates elasticity and reduces wrinkles. Just as we perspire in summer heat, we also lose water in our skin from indoor heating in winter. Diet additionally plays an important role in improving skin health. Eating a healthy variety of fresh vegetables and fruits delivers antioxidants into the bloodstream and thereby reduces the effects of aging. Similarly, avoiding processed foods minimizes intake of chemicals that inflict harm at the cellular level.
Also, consider your personal habits. Biting and licking lips, biting fingernails, smoking, and chewing on objects like pencils can cause irritation and infection. Pay attention to such automatic behaviors, and practice not to do them. ÂÂ
Although your lips may remain silent, they cannot help but reveal to everyone how you treat them!

Health & Beauty with you in mind.
