"This is not a typical lip balm. It's a lip treatment with step one being the lip peel that is going to remove the dry, dead skin cells on your lips. If you're somebody who basically was me who said, 'No matter what I've used, it never helped to smooth my lips. I was still always flaky and chapped,' the lip peel is going to help to smoothen your lips and get rid of the flaking and the peeling and the rough texture of your lips. But you do not want to just leave that exposed. You want to lock it in while calming and soothing and protecting your lips. This lip balm offers that long-lasting hydration with soothing benefits as well. I use this at night followed by this, and I use this throughout the day. This winter, it is December, it has been arctic in New York City, I have yet to experience a cracked or chapped or bloody lip, which in my world for the past 40 years has been a never, okay, until the past year and a half to two years. So very, very excited for that."
