One of the biggest beauty challenges that come with Winter is keeping our lips soft and supple. Trying to find those perfect products to keep your pout smooth and hydrated is all about what is actually absorbed.

As Clémence Organics‘ founded Bridget Carmady explains “Did you know? Our lips absorb up to 80% of what we apply on them, and since we inevitably ingest lip products, it’s crucial they’re natural and organic. Recently, I was shocked by the chemical content in some popular lip balms I saw at a local store.”

“Lips are highly sensitive—they contain more nerve endings than our fingertips. A top tip is to opt for a high-quality, organic lip balm to minimise ingestion of chemicals.”

In this ultimate guide, we reveal the must-have products to ensure your pout stays flawless all winter long. From scrubs, balms and even hydrating masks, we’ve got you covered.
