Strawberry… this pretty looking, delicious
smelling fruit has some magical power. Most of us girls get attracted automatically to
any skincare related to strawberry, I guess 😉. I am no
exception to this charm. I love to try skin care products that have strawberry
essence or extract or fragrance in them.
And that’s how I have found this beautiful lip
butter from The Body Shop. I also wanted to try a lip butter for a change to see the effect.
To start with, I am blessed with good looking lips
😉,
but they are not blessed with moisture. They do feel like another form of the
desert if they are not appropriately moisturized. I have to apply lip balm
every time I eat or drink something, or clean my mouth. Otherwise, they tend to
develop cracks. In the winter months, they become their worst because of
extreme dryness. Yeah… you can understand that the whole situation is not an ideal
vision.
I love applying lipsticks, but I try to avoid them
as much as possible as my lips become drier than usual. The lip balms I use are
100% natural and preservative-free. But still, the effect of the products on my
lips seem to wash away early than expected. One fine day, I decided to buy this
lip butter in a whim though most of the reviews available online were against
it.
And I loved it.

How to Take Care of your Lips:
Remember to scrub your lips once a week before you apply any lip product. If you already have dead skin cells piled on the lips, no lip balm or butter can help you fully. Just take half a teaspoon of Almond Oil and quarter teaspoon of brown sugar. Mix them and scrub your lips gently for 30 seconds. Do not over do. Rinse it with water and apply your favorite Lip balm or Lip butter. For other days, you can take a clean towel to scrub the lips when it is wet. And you are good to go.
As I searched for this product's ingredients list on The Body Shop UK website, I noticed that there's the latest version of this lip butter, which is entirely different in texture. I do hope they don't discontinue this version because it is just perfect for my lip's health. Do try it out while you can.
