lips lips and more lips

Greetings to all.  Grayce here.

Do your lips ever feel as dry as a desert, flaky and chapped?

Let me share some interesting details about your lips!!!  Without lips we wouldn't be able to make the sound of the letter "P," we wouldn't be able to kiss the people we love, and we wouldn't be able to make those funny fish faces. Lips are unique--they aren't like any other part of the human body. But although they look different from the rest of your skin, they're actually quite similar.

The outer layer of your skin is called the epidermis, and it has a protective covering called the stratum corneum. Underneath your epidermis is another layer of skin, the dermis. Like the rest of your skin, your lips have all three of these layers--the difference is that the stratum corneum on your lips is far thinner than it is anywhere else on your body.

Enriched with superior skin conditioners and antioxidants, this emollient balm soothes and relieves dry, chapped, irritated lips. Unlike waxy sticks, it penetrates quickly to provide instant relief. It offers broad-spectrum sun protection with an SPF of 25; it also guards against windburn and temperature extremes. It contains natural mint to help freshen breath. It's Fragrance-free. Colorant-free. Dermatologist tested.

They have lots of flavors.  The refreshing and soothing Lemon & Chamomile is also wonderful, and they all have the bonus of an SPF 25, so its a win-win.

I give it my seal of approval with a...
