This is something that I am paying close attention to, especially this week, as we vacation in Mountains Being that I'm based in Houston there is a lot of difference.
There is a wealth of things that attack my lips - altitude, the sun, dryer air, wind, 50 degree change in weather each day.
TIPS FOR HAPPY LIPS!
DO NOT USE STRAWS!
Straws make your pucker stay puckered much longer than you may want. Each time you take a drink from a straw, you draw the skin in around your lips. Once in a while at a restaurant is ok, but daily can add up to wear and tear on your lips. Choose water bottles that flow not ones with straws that suck. Avoid the pucker!

Drink Water \Hydration makes pretty
skin. Grab a 20 oz or more water bottle and drink up. NO straws, right?
Use Nontoxic Ingredients
You are eating whatever you put on your lips!Products that are applied to the skin can quickly be absorbed into the bloodstream. In the case of the lips, those products also tend to get consumed as we lick our lips or talk. Unfortunately, many commercial lip products contain petroleum-based ingredients, such as mineral oil, that are not only drying to the skin, but can be highly toxic as well.

Avoid mineral oil
(petroleum based product), parabens, lead, and other synthetic oils. Read the
labels and look for plant-based ingredients.
Best Choices for Best Lip
Care
Ingredients like natural beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil, and vitamin E are healthy choices for lip care. Rather than just sit on top of your lips giving the illusion of moisturizing, like mineral oil do, these yummy ingredients actually penetrate deep into the skin to moisturize at a cellular level, leaving lips feeling great when initially applied and even after the product has worn off!

Start with a Sugar and
Jojoba Lip Exfoliant
Sometimes the lips need some extra help in removing dead skin cells, toxins, and pollutants that can get into the pores of the skin and cause drying and unhealthy looking lips. Exfoliants gently exfoliate the lips, removing dead and dry skin cells, leaving them smooth and kissably soft.

Apply a
small amount to the lips and circular motions to increase circulation. A
little bit goes a long way, so use sparingly. Let this sit on your lips for a
minute or so, then wipe away with a soft, damp cloth. Once or twice a week
should do it. In the winter months when the lips tend to be more dry, you can
exfoliate daily with a gentle, naturally-based exfoliant.
Moisturize your lips like
you would other skin surfaces.
Shea Butter Lip care is a perfect choice morning and night to add a moisturizing base before applying lip care like lip sticks and glosses. You will love how moisturized your lips feel! Moisturizing on a regular basis will leave them feeling soft, nourished, and absolutely amazing.

Bonus Anti Aging Tip! Use
a Serum Around Lips
Getting some fine lines and wrinkles around your lips? After exfoliating, and before applying color, apply a Multi Peptide Firming Serum or Anti Aging Eye Gel. Just around the outside of the lips should do it!

FAQ -My kids lips look terrible!
We get asked this all of the time! Kids tend to lick their lips when they are dry and not use products that moisturize. Sugar lip exfoliates can get rid of dry, flaky skin and give the lips a fresh, healthy start. And, since it is made from sugar and plant-based oils means it is safe if they lick it.
