329. The Reason Your Lips Are Always Dry (And It’s Not the Weather)

from Beauty IQ Uncensored · host Adore Beauty

We’re back with part two of our skin barrier series in this week’s Expert ep. This time, we’re zooming in on your lips. If you’re reapplying lip balm 17 times a day and still waking up with crusty, cracked lips… we need to talk. Co-hosts Tegan and Sadaf break down the science behind lip barrier damage, why your trusty balm might be making things worse (yep, really), and what to do if you want soft, actually hydrated lips—not just a glossy coating. Plus, an Adore Anonymous listener suspects their fake tan is behind a sudden blackhead breakout, and Win, Bin or Recycle takes an unexpected (and slightly gross) turn in the bathroom.
