[Video] Tried & Tested: How I Save My Dry Lips With Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment
Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment is a supremely hydrating and smoothing balm made with a blend of nourishing coconut oil and antioxidant-rich lemon butter, as well as, broad spectrum SPF 25 sunscreen, providing essential protection from UV rays and easy application while offering up to 12 hours of hydration.
“With very little built-in protection, lips are uniquely vulnerable to both UV rays and environmental aggressors. Paying attention to lip care from an early age is key to keeping the lips looking youthful and supple,” explains Dr. Adam Geyer, Kiehl’s Consulting Dermatologist. “To protect, preserve, and restore the hydration and suppleness to lips—I always recommend consistent use of sunscreen to reduce discoloration and diminish the rate of formation of lip lines; topical antioxidants to help slow the aging process, and hydrators to help prevent chapping and flaking.”
Its creamy texture is achieved through a combination of butters and oils, including lemon butter and coconut oil. These two key ingredients provide a lightweight, cushiony finish that is unique to the formula.
- Lemon butter, sourced from California and obtained by cold pressing the lemon peel, is known to be rich in antioxidants. This natural butter helps protect lips from environmental stress, and infuses the treatment with a light citrus fragrance that engages the senses.
- Coconut oil, fairly traded from the Philippines and often referred to as the ‘tree of life’ , is a known a healing agent in Ayurvedic medicine that has been used for over 4,000 years. The oil, which is composed of over 90% saturated fatty acids, is an excellent “water sealer” that helps maintain skin hydration.
With UVA and UVB, SPF 25 sunscreen, Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment is an essential final step in an everyday skincare regimen. Lips are one of the most sensitive areas of skin and everyday protection is critical. Kiehl’ s developed this year-round protection for lips, to help keep skin safe, moisturized and hydrated in every season.
Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment’s 3 sheer buildable colours can be lightly applied for a touch of colour, or layered to achieve a richer hue. It’s great for any occasion – from a sheer layer for hydration at the gym, a light tint with SPF for an outdoor business lunch, or a deeper colour to update a look for a night out.
While the universal Untinted formulas offer the same nourishing benefits with the option of with or without SPF protection.
“Nourished lips are essential. If you want to be able to wear a matte lip — a look that is undeniably trending — you must ensure that you hydrate and protect your lips daily to prevent your lip colour from picking up any dry flakes,” shares celebrity makeup artist, Joanna Simkin. “If you’re a fan of glosses, hydrating your lips is equally important as a gloss will accentuate dryness even more. Don’t be afraid to apply your lip balm around the edge of your lips to protect the surrounding skin — this will help keep wrinkles at bay for younger, more supple-looking lips.”
Kiehl’s Butterstick Lip Treatment collection retails for RM85 (4.0g) each and is now available in Kiehl’s stores and e-commerce site.
