A Restorative Lip Reset with Typology Paris
Friday, August 4, 2023
RESURFACING LIP PEEL // AHA & Pomegranate Enzyme
The newest addition in their lip care assortment, this advanced Lip Peel is formulated with pomegranate extracts and AHA (Mandelic acid), an effective and complimentary pairing of exfoliating agents that gently rid the lips of dead cells in a manner unlike traditional granular lip scrubs. Additionally, lips are highly vulnerable to environmental factors which are compounded during seasonal shifts when lips are more susceptible to overall health interruptions such as moisture-loss and textural changes leaving them in a more fragile, rough state. This naturally-derived lip peel not only adequately remedies these common lip concerns but does so in a non-abrasive manner that limits further damage to this already sensitive area. The result is a more nourished, smoothed and supple pout that serves as the perfect canvas for tinted lip products.
REPARING LIP MASK // Ceramides & Hyaluronic Acid
A decadent lip mask that drenches the lips in a veil of ultra-hydrating and soothing ingredients, this targeted blend instantly goes to work on reviving damaged lips whilst protecting its barrier and maintaining moisture retention. Rich in hyaluronic acid, a star skincare component, this fortified substance protects the lips from further loss of moisture while it's hydrating elements keep the lips conditioned. Best of all, the reparative qualities of this acid in tandem with reinforcing ceramides aids in the softening and reduction of fine lines along the lips. The inclusion of mango butter (essential fatty acid), amplifies the healing components of the mask and creates a protective barrier that prevents additional damage or dehydration. A single use leaves the lips in a healthy, ultra-smooth state that will advance the overall state of the lips with continued use.
Typology Paris heavily prioritizes the healing and hydrating needs of the lips and works towards creating beneficial products with essential and naturally-sourced ingredients that truly heal and restore the state of lips. An ideal representation of quality over quantity, this impressive brand continues to craft potent blends of substance that offer genuinely successful results.

Dial A Dilemma: Winter Lip Rescue
Thursday, February 9, 2012
Like all pretty paintings, your lips need to be a smooth bare canvas before any color application. However, maintaining a perfectly hydrated, smooth pout during the winter season is sometimes complicated. Harsh temperatures, strong winds and snowy showers can do a number on the condition of your lips, but fear not, there are simple solutions to get the pop back in your pucker and make them picture perfect. Familiar items like petroleum jelly and other interesting mixes can transform you lips from cracked and dry to hydrated and full.
How do I keep my lips hydrated and fuller during the winter?
Sugar and Spice
Prep
Classic lip softening tactics involve a trusty dry fighting product: petroleum jelly. Start with lathering bare lips in jelly and take either a towel or toothbrush and work onto lips in a small circular motion. When done gently wipe away. Both items are perfect for this task as they are tough enough to get the job done but gentle enough to not hurt the surface.
Another sweet trick to combating chapped lips is sugar. Functioning as a scrub, sugar fights seasonal dryness and pairing it with petroleum jelly helps gently pull way dry bits of skin without irritating the lip itself. Start with coating a finger tip in petroleum jelly and dip into some sugar, once coated pull to lips and gently scrub. If you want to avoid a slight mess, just apply jelly to lips, take a cube of sugar and work on lips in gentle circular motion, then wipe away with a towel. Another plus to using sugar, it leaves a yummy taste after use. J
Plump
Now that you have a perfectly prepped base, it’s time to boost that pout. Of course there are countless lip plumping products on the market, but you can concoct a little mix right at home (recipe on bottom). Including skin nourishing oils, the main star in this product is a little spice (cayenne). While there is a multitude of health benefits to this pepper, like boosting your metabolism and lowering blood pressure, cayenne pepper adds a little pumping property to this lip mix.
With a simple prep and little plump, your lips are ready to be coated in a hue of your choice. If these alternatives are not your thing, there are a few products that get the job done sans any effort. I’ve always been drawn to Fresh lip products, as they get the job done and come in array of alluring colors.
