Lip Care for Every Season

Tired of battling dry, cracked lips every time the season changes? Your lips, much like your skin, need special care as the seasons change. You can protect your lips against the elements with a few simple adjustments to your lip care routine. From preventing winter chapping to combating summer sunburn, learn how to keep your lips luscious and healthy all year long.

Autumn: Fortify for the freeze

As autumn arrives and the air turns crisp, you may start to feel the effects of the drier conditions in your lips. This is when it’s important to be proactive and start introducing richer, more protective lip care products into your routine. Some great ingredients to look out for are emollients for moisture retention, ceramides to fortify the skin’s barrier, and gentle exfoliants to combat dry, flaky lips.

Our autumn essential is the Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Rescue Ointment. Clinically proven to visibly rejuvenate dry, flaky lips and provide much-needed relief for soft, hydrated lips. Formulated with a unique blend of ingredients, including skin-strengthening ceramides, nurturing plant-based emollients, indulgent grapeseed oil, and moisture-boosting sugar crystals, this restorative lip ointment nourishes and smoothes your lips, helping them stay protected against the seasonal chill.

Winter: Moisturise & rejuvenate

When the harsh cold of winter comes around, your lips start to crave the comforting embrace of moisture. This season can be particularly harsh on your lips—the fluctuating temperatures between chilly outdoors and heated indoors often result in dry, flaky lips. That is why a lip care routine focused on intense, deep moisturisation is key.

That's where the Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Mask comes in. It’s the perfect addition to your nightly lip-pampering ritual. This lip mask is made with shea butter, berry wax, and hyaluronic acid to nourish and hydrate your lips deeply. Just apply it before bed, and you'll wake up with lips that feel soft, smooth, and ready to face the cold. Each application forms a protective barrier, ensuring your lips stay healthy, supple, and well-hydrated throughout the winter months.

Spring: Revive & renew

Spring is a time for renewal. As nature blossoms, your lips crave the same revival. The gentler weather and increased humidity offer a soothing respite, but the season can also bring a surge of pollen and hay fever. To keep your pout protected yet refreshed, it’s important to continue with your daily lip balm, but switch to a lighter, hydrating formula that will allow your lips to breathe in the milder weather.

Start your lips’ spring awakening with the Sugar Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm. This revitalising lip treatment quenches even the thirstiest lips for a full 24 hours*, and is clinically proven to restore the appearance of winter-weathered lips. It instantly replenishes and recovers dry, peeling skin with smoothing sea fennel extract and hydrating hyaluronic acid spheres. The ultra-nourishing yet airy formula acts as a gentle balm, delicately whisking away any lingering dry flakes and unveiling a full, healthy-looking pout ready to greet the new season.

Summer: Nourish & defend

Those glorious long days at the seaside or in the park work wonders for the soul. But summer's heat, bright sunshine, and salty sea breezes can form a trio that often leads to dehydration and damage. Staying hydrated is crucial, so drink plenty of water and apply a hydrating lip balm regularly to protect your lips.

The Sugar Coconut Hydrating Lip Balm is our go-to summer essential. With a delightful coconut flavour, this balm provides 24-hour moisture**, keeping your lips soft and hydrated even on the sunniest days.
