Who else is really struggling with dry and chapped lips in this cold weather?
When the cold weather months roll round, one of the first areas to dry out are our lips. This is due to the fact that the delicate skin around the lips has a very different makeup than the rest of the face.
Our lips lack hair, sweat or sebaceous glands, and have a much thinner stratum corneum and therefore a poor barrier function to retain water. This is why lips are extremely susceptible to the environment; dry out very quickly and become chapped very easily.
Introducing Mutiny
Mutiny is Medik8‘s first lip balm. It takes a different approach to the traditional lip balms on the market as it is squalane-based. The majority of other lip balms contain petrolatum which is an oil. It is great, however it is more for an instant-fix for dry lips but not long lasting. This is why you find yourself applying your lip balm frequently. The Mutiny lip balm by Medik8 is able to provide long-lasting hydration throughout the day.
The product comes out of its tube like a gel but it instantly melts into an oil when applied to the lips. Your lips will be protected whilst being nourished with essential lipids that enhances the skin’s natural barrier. Moisture is locked in and your lips are visibly nourished and replenished.
How does it work?
Mutiny is packed with sea buckthorn oil which contains the full omega profile – Omega 3,5,9, and 7. It restores the lip’s natural barrier, holding the hydration locked in tight and therefore supporting the natural healing process of chapped lips that we all hate.
Hyaluronic Acid draws in moisture to the surface of the lip from the surrounding atmosphere and lower skin layers. All of these active ingredient give Mutiny a profile packed with hydration in order to revive your winter lips.
