I absolutely love Burt's Bees, there is an incredible story behind the brand which you can find here and there is an abundance of goodness when it comes to products. New releases from Burt's Bees are always amazing and this time it is the turn of lip conditioning treatments.
The one product I never expected from Burt's Bees are masks of any sort and yet there are sheet masks for the face and a Moisturising Lip Mas (£3.95). Packaged inside a bright yellow sachet, this single use lip mask is designed to hydrate and nourish your lips.
Using a blend of natural ingredients including Meadowfoam Seed and Almond Oils which both hydrate, nourish and moisturise. When I used my mask as part of a pamper day (which was divine) I loved how soothing the lip mask was when applied and how easy it was to use. Once you have extracted it from the sachet, you simply place it over your lips, keeping your mouth closed and relax for around 5 minutes. Once the 5 minutes is up, you remove it and I massaged in a little of the excess oils. The mask isn't greasy or tacky when being used and it doesn't leave your lips feeling greasy either, instead, my lips felt so moisturised and it is definitely a mask I would purchase to use again. A perfect treat for those upcoming cold Winter days.
As part of the pampering routine, the first stage before using the mask was to use the conditioning lip scrub (£6.99). I am a huge advocate of lip scrubs and think it is just as important to remove the dead and dry skin from your lips as it is the rest of your face and body.
This scrub which using a blend of oils and exfoliating honey crystals to gently exfoliate the lips is so gentle yet so effective and removing dead and dry skin cells. To use, you apply a generous amount to your lips and then in circular motions, you work the scrub around your lips, as you do so, whilst it isn't overly abrasive, you can feel it working against the skin to remove anything that is loose. Perfect for using 2-3 times a week.
The final product within this little lip conditioning trip is the Overnight Lip Conditioning Treatment (£6.99) which is just divine. I am an avid user of overnight balms and creams for my face and I do, every night, apply a lip balm or serum as part of my routine.
Using Ceramides which help to support your skin’s barrier and retain moisture for soft, smooth and healthy looking lips, this overnight treatment works to soothe and condition while you sleep and it is the perfect partner to the lip scrub. There is also the use of Jojoba and Sunflower Oils and it is lightly scented using Peppermint Oil. To use, you simply apply liberally before going to bed and leave it to work its magic overnight. The formula is non-greasy and it does absorb itself slowly into the skin. What I have found since using it, is that my lips have become less dry and whilst I will always use a lip balm, I love that I have a product that can give that extra bit of TLC when I need it and one that is 100% natural.
If your lips are in need of some TLC, then this trio of goodies from Burt's Bees are the perfect products for a lip pampering session.
