Sleep is said to be food for your brain, body, and skin. If you don't get enough of it then you deprive each of its nourishment - something as a beauty blogger I hear a lot of and it is something that we should all take more seriously because there is absolutely no point in having the most amazing skincare routine if your body is not getting the rest it needs to use it effectively. I was kindly sent a Sleep Tight kit from O'Keeffe's which features their Lip Repair Overnight Balm to try and because I was so impressed with the foot care products, which I featured here, I had high hopes for this product.
Everything you need to aid that good nights sleep - A Pillow Spray from Feather and Down, A Black Amber and Lavender Candle, a Sleep Mask and of course the Lip Repair Overnight Balm.
The balm is described as being an intense, restorative lip balm that works while you sleep. I am sure we have all suffered or are suffering from dry, cracked and chapped lips with this ever-changing weather. I do everything I can to ensure my lips are as protected as I possibly can and I am a huge user of lip balms, gels and serums. As part of my nighttime routine, the last part of my skincare is always a lip balm and in recent months, I switched from using my usual balm to this one, to see just how good it is.
Packaged inside a bright orange and blue coloured pot, this balm is very much a solid, but it melts at the touch of your finger and it applies to the lips as more of an oil than anything else, but without being greasy. It contains Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Jojoba Oil as just a few of the ingredients and they work absolute wonders on the lips. I noticed a huge change in how the skin on and around my lips felt after using this balm for a few weeks and I have since bought a further pot, ready for when this one runs out.
I really like the texture of this balm and I also love that there is no fragrance or scent to it at all. If that isn't enough, it costs less than £4 and can be found in Boots*.
