Say goodbye to dryness and hello to luscious lips.
Season changes can wreak havoc on your lips, leaving them cracked, dry, and uncomfortable. It's a common struggle, but it doesn't have to be. By understanding how different weather conditions affect your lips and making a few simple changes to your lip care routine, you can have perfectly kissable lips regardless of the weather. Here’s how you can give your lips the attention they deserve in every season.
As fall starts to cast its gentle chill across Canada, you may start noticing drier, tighter-feeling lips. This signals that it’s time to update your lip care routine with richer, more indulgent, and more protective lip care. Seek out formulas brimming with conditioning emollients to deeply nourish, protective ceramides to fortify skin's defences, and gentle exfoliators to slough away flakiness.
Our Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Rescue Ointment is an essential for your fall lip care routine. It's clinically proven to visibly rejuvenate parched, peeling lips while deeply hydrating dry patches for a soft, supple pout. Formulated with skin-replenishing ceramides, nourishing plant-based emollients, luxurious grapeseed oil, and hydrating sugar crystals, this lush ointment cocoons lips in lasting comfort and smoothness—ensuring they stay beautifully soft and smooth as the colder weather descends.
When icy northern winds start to blow, your lips are likely going to start craving the comforting embrace of moisture. Canadian winters can be brutal on delicate lip skin, with frosty outdoor air and dry indoor heating often leading to chapping, peeling, and discomfort.
The Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Mask is the perfect way to give your lips the extra love and care they need in winter. This leave-on lip mask has been specifically formulated to restore and rejuvenate dry, cracked lips. Packed with nourishing shea butter, berry wax, and hyaluronic acid, it offers intense hydration and care. Each use envelops your lips in a soothing balm, keeping them soft, smooth, and vibrant all season long.
As the frost starts to thaw and the world begins to come alive with the vibrance of spring, it’s not uncommon for your lips to yearn for the same renewal. Milder temperatures and increased humidity offer a welcome relief from the past cold months, but the season can also usher in a flurry of pollen and seasonal allergies. To keep your pout protected and pampered, continue with a daily lip balm, but transition to a lighter, hydrating formula that breathes with the warmer air.
Welcome the restorative spring season with our go-to lip treatment: the Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm. This rejuvenating treatment hydrates even the driest lips for a full 24 hours*, and is clinically proven to repair the look of winter-damaged lips. It instantly replenishes and recovers dry, peeling skin with smoothing sea fennel extract and hyaluronic acid spheres. The ultra-nourishing yet breathable formula acts as a soothing salve, gently lifting away any lingering dry flakes and revealing pouty, healthy-looking lips ready for the gentle breezes ahead.
From sun-drenched prairie picnics to breezy hikes in the Rockies, enjoying the warmth of the summer is always an adventure, but it may leave your lips feeling parched and exposed. The season's trifecta of intense heat, relentless UV rays, and drying winds can be tough on delicate lip skin. Keep your pout smooth and protected by upping your water intake and applying a hydrating lip balm with a touch of sun defence.
Our summer lip hero is the Sugar Coconut Hydrating Lip Balm. This coconut-infused balm was created to bring 24-hour moisture**, ensuring your lips stay refreshed and supple whether you're paddling in Algonquin or strolling through Vancouver's bustling markets. Its magic lies in a blend of sugar and emollient oils that deeply hydrate and lock in that precious moisture. The result? Soft, full lips that are ready to smile through every scorching day and balmy night of the sunniest season.
Infuse a touch of colour into your year-round lip care routine. Our iconic Sugar Tinted Lip Balm, a beloved beauty staple for more than 20 years, is widely regarded as one of the best tinted lip balms on the market. The collection includes a broad variety of sheer-to-buildable shades carefully curated to flatter a diverse range of skin tones. Each velvety balm glides on effortlessly, delivers an impressive 24-hour hydration**, and leaves your lips looking and feeling sumptuously soft through every season—from the first spring daffodils to the falling of the last fiery autumn leaves.
