Peptide-Packed Lip Product - Not Your Average Lip Balm

Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex

Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex to get moist juicy lips you need to do more than just use an everyday lip balm. Lips are fragile things, one day they can be nice, plump and juicy and the next dry, cracked and sore. 

In-fact not caring for your lips is a sure way to start getting those tell-tale feathering lip aging lines. Dehydration of the lips can cause them to shrivel up, dry out and crack (have you noticed the older you get the thinner you lips get?) 

Most people reach for their balm when this happens but some ingredients in certain products can cause more damage to your lips and make them even more drier and you end up in a never ending cycle of applying more balm to compensate (not realising that the balm causes them to dry out). 

Dermalogica suggest to avoid using lip products that contain artificial colours like Red D and C dyes, artificial fragrances, lanolin wax, Isopropyl Esters and Myristyl Lactate on the lip area to name a few. Any inflammation is a known precursor to the aging cycle so make sure you use a good quality lip product and check the ingredients. 

If this was not enough assault to our lips as we age and our lips dry out naturally (thanks to UV damage, pollution, cold weather and inflammation). Dermalogica have made the Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex to help smooth and condition the delicate lips fast. The active balm contain many moisturising natural plant oils that smooth your lips and help prevent and repair any damaging cracks. 

The balm itself is a very thick consistency and feels different to a gloss, the balm will actually condition your lips for around three to four hours and with regular use will make your lips really silky soft and smooth. 

You can use the renewal lip complex as a primer before applying your lipstick and it helps to reduce those dreaded contour lines, I find it best to use as a night time treatment for my lips and it’s recommended that you use the Age Smart Balm morning and night to get maximum results, apply it after applying your eye cream. 

Besides the conditioning oils dermalogica have added there polypeptide that acts as a sugar trap and binds sugar to the peptide stopping the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the lips (also known as glycation) and reducing fine lines, preventing the signs of aging. 

The Renewal Lip Complex also contains Palmitoyl Oligopeptide an ingredient that helps to restore the collagen in the lips and keeping them fuller for longer. Along with added vitamin E for it’s healing and hydrating properties and it’s help at fighting free radical damage, this dermalogica lip balm is amazing, you will really notice the difference with your lips, it’s the best lip product I have ever tried contains nothing harmful and smoothes uneven texture, another great addition to dermalogica’s Age Smart Line.
