Why do Lips need extra care ?
We wear layers of clothes to protect our self from extreme weather conditions, put on a lot of sun block to stay protected from the sun's UV rays but what about the lips? They are forever exposed, be it the winter chill or summer's skin burning air. Lips have a thinner layer of skin as compared to the skin on our body. Lips are sensitive to allergies, external factors, sun's UV rays and dirt. Lips need all the more protection to serve you better. After all, its the smile that makes the first impression. Why not make it an ever lasting one?
How is Lychee effective for lips ?
The evergreen Lychee (or Litchi) trees originated from the Fujian provinces of China and Guangdong. It is now grown in many parts of the world and is a common fruit in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Southern Africa. Lychee contains the one essential vitamin in abundance that the human body does not produce- Vitamin C. Lychee is highly rich in Vitamin C, Selenium, Potassium, Calcium and Vitamin B complex. Vitamin C keeps the lips safe from external factors such as pollution, extreme weather conditions, allergy, dryness and bleeding and makes the lips softer. The most important ingredient found in Lychee is Oligonol. This contains anti-influenza action and several important anti oxidants. Oligonol regulates the blood circulation and acts as a shield against the sun's harmful UVA rays thereby protecting lips from tanning. Pigmentation, spots and any kind of abnormalities are removed with a regular use of Lychee on the lips.
What is Jojoba Oil? How is it beneficial ?
This highly moisturizing oil is taken from Jojoba tree (Simmondsia chinenis) which is abundantly found in Southern California, South Arizona and North West Mexico. Wax Ester, as it is commonly called, Jojoba oil doesn't have the oil-like texture. Rather, it is similar to the oil produced by our skin's sebaceous glands. Jojoba Oil does not evaporate off the surface which makes it an excellent moisture locking agent, keeping lips hydrated round the clock. Chapped and damaged lips are intensively nourished and dryness is cured. Lips do not have oil glands. This makes it very important to keep them under a total moisture cover or else they fall prey to environmental changes, sun's UV rays and pollution. With Jojoba Oil lips become healthier, soft and have a natural shine. The presence of anti oxidants in Jojoba Oil helps in countering external stimuli, making lips pink.
