Say Goodbye to Chapped Lips & Say Hello to Moisturized Juicy Lips with The Kissu Lip Mask by Tatcha

 

As we start to say goodbye to summer, starts to sip hot coco & pumpkin spice latte in the cold dry fall and winter season, it’s time we take extra care of our lips.  

Unlike the skin on our face and body, our lips don’t have sebaceous glands to produce oil to protect its surface layer. So, when the weather starts to get cold, we are indoor with heaters on making the air super dry, our lips will be one of the first place start to be dehydrated and lead to chapped lips.  My lips were super dry, it starts to peel, cracked, become irritably sensitive and painful. 

So, I was on a mission to find products that can help soothe, heal and bring extra moisture to treat my lips besides my normal lip balm that I use during the day, then I’ve found the “Kissu Lip Mask” by Tatcha.

This rich, non-sticky jelly mask melts into a liquid to intensely comfort, hydrate, and lock in moisture for lips in need. The anti-ageing treatment delivers potent ingredients to your delicate lips, visibly plumping fine lines and wrinkles and boosting the appearance of suppleness and firmness. It is perfect for replenishing flaky, parched lips with essential moisture.

After I applied all my usual skin care products at night, I use the signature Tatcha golden spoon to scooped some of the lip mask serum and applied all over my painful chapped lips.  My lips instantly feel the “Ahhh…. Moisture… Soothing” feeling.  Here is a photo of my dry lips before I use the Kissu Lip Mask and an after photo of my lips in the morning when I woke up. My lips were fully moisturized, plump and the dead skins that was peeling the night before I went to bed was gone!
