Meet the ultimate winter skin care solution.
If youre a devoted skin nerd, asDr.
Shereene Idrisslovingly calls her community, youre already familiar with lip basting.
Theexfoliating step is key, BTW.
Since the skin on your lips is so thin anddoesnt produce oil, its more prone to dryness.
On top of that, your mouth moves a lot which adds to buildup.
If you dont remove those dead skin cells, its harder for hydrating products to actually penetrate.
To make the entire process easier, Idriss wanted to concoct her own system for pillowy soft lips.
To further ensure the peel isnt going to irritate, it also has hydratingglycerinin the formula.
Then theres the Barrier Baste Lip Baste ($24), the heavy-duty moisturizer.
After brushing my teeth one evening, I applied the peel, which had a thin, watery-like consistency.
Idriss advises waiting until the peel fully dries before slathering your lips with the baste.
This took a couple of minutes, during which I worked on the rest of my skin care routine.
My pout felt instantly drenched with moisture, and had a gorgeous sheen to it.
The texture wasnt overly thick, either its a medium-weight balm that seals in all that hydrating goodness.
In the morning, I woke up to happy, non-chapped lips.
The moisture lasted, too.
Ill be using the Dr. Idriss Barrier Baste Lip Basting Duo whenever my pout needs some TLC.
