Soft Season Starts Now: How to Prep Your Lips for Fall
Share
Think of fall as your lips’ warning sign. The air gets crisp, heaters click on, and suddenly that dewy summer glow turns into dryness. Before the flannel comes out, it’s time to build a barrier that keeps your lips soft from the first leaf drop to the last pumpkin latte.
Why Fall Wreaks Havoc on Lips
Cooler weather + lower humidity = the perfect storm for chapping. The skin on your lips doesn’t have oil glands, so once moisture escapes, there’s nothing to replenish it naturally.
The Lip Care Shift: Summer → Fall
It’s time to swap:
- Glossy oils → for lanolin-rich balms that actually seal in hydration.
- Light tints → for creamy textures that comfort.
- Exfoliation once a week → for nourishing nightly layers.
Meet Lanolin: The Fall Essential
Lanolin acts like a natural moisture magnet — it holds up to 400% of its weight in water, keeping lips hydrated no matter how windy the walk home gets. The Balm is powered by pure lanolin for exactly this reason: it mimics your skin’s own oils.
The Ritual: A 3-Step Fall Lip Routine
- Buff gently. Use a damp washcloth to remove dry flakes.
- Apply The Balm nightly. It locks in hydration while you sleep.
- Reapply before heading out. Think of it as your invisible scarf.
Final Thought from Ginny:
Fall softness doesn’t happen by accident — it comes from a routine! Start it early, and your lips will thank you well into winter.
