Dr. Tess Mauricio, “America’s Favorite Dermatologist”, offers insights on how both sexes can achieve voluptuous lips with topical plumpers and cosmetic fillers in time for Valentine’s.

Nothing is hotter on a woman or a man than beautiful lips not the kind that look weird and “ducky” as some Hollywood stars are sporting of late. No, we’re talking a smooth pout with natural, youthful-looking volume that’s oh so kissable … especially on Valentine’s Day!

When administered artfully and skillfully, fillers will provide a perfect pout that blends in with your face and just enhances your overall beauty it should not drastically change the way you look. Optimally, no one will be able to really tell you had your lips done, but be prepared for remarks like “you look good” or “you look younger.” Great lips have a wonderfully rejuvenating effect on your appearance.

Today, there’s an amazing variety of topical lip plumpers on the market. All such topical products are mild irritants causing that have the effect of a controlled, mild allergy in the lips (so your lips swell a little for a short period of time). Results from these products are subtle at best and obviously temporary. But, a good option for those concerned about making a longer term enhancement.

Go to fullsize imageFor those who want more significant results that will last 6-9 months (or longer if you are one of those lucky ones) injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvederm is the way to go. Also, if you have those pesky “smokers lines” or more advance wrinkling of the lips, forget the topical lip plumpers – the injectable fillers can dramatically and instantly make you love your lips again!

Those opting for the injectable lip plumping solutions shouldn’t wait until the last minute since mild bruising or swelling may occur for a few days after treatment. But, rest assured the fillers are perfectly safe and effective … and can be administered in just 10 minutes, even on your lunch hour!

Lead is a proven neurotoxin (a toxin that damages or destroys nerve tissue) that can cause learning, language and behavioral problems such as lowered IQ and increased aggression. Lead also accumulates in our bodies and is hard for our kidneys and liver to process. In fact, the human body has no use for lead what so all. No-one eats lipstick intentionally; however studies have shown that on average women digest 1lb of their lip product per lifetime.

Did you know that more than half of 33 brand-name lipsticks tested by safecosmetics.org contained detectable levels of lead, ranging from 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million; however none of these lipsticks listed lead as an ingredient.

Cosmetic companies don’t actually put lead directly into their products, but traces of lead are found in dyes needed to obtain certain colours. Most red lipsticks contain higher levels of lead as some red pigments are lead based.

Emani Minerals Hydrating Lip Colours do not contain any traces of lead

it’s never been more important to weather proof our children’s skin. Even if you live in the city and are not out and about in the open countryside on a regular basis, urban pollution and grime combined with cold biting winds and frosts all take their toll on our skin. Imagine being a baby in a buggy, down at street curb level, with diesel fumes and traffic swishing through filthy puddles, and add in a fine drizzle of rain from our polluted skies…

Weleda’s Calendula Weather Protection Cream (rrp 5.50 30ml) protects little cheeks on cold rainy days, and from drying winds on blustery walks or sledging in the snow. This soothing cream is suitable for all the family, and can be used on hands, chapped lips, on sore noses when your children have the snuffles, or for protecting the skin around the mouth and chin when babies are teething.

The neat 30ml tube is easily stowed in a handbag, knapsack or changing bag when you’re out and about. This weather balm has the lightness of a gel, and absorbs fast leaving a fine protective film on the skin but still allowing the skin to breath healthily.

It’s also a secret beauty weapon with many mums, who use it to protect their own skin from the elements, and an indispensable ‘tool of the trade’ of many beauty professionals who mix the cream with eye shadows and lip stains to achieve a long-lasting dewy look for parties.

Well known make-up artist Hannah Maxwell relies on this great little multi-tasker: “It’s my favourite Weleda product. It cuts down on buying lots of products, it’s so versatile. I use it instead of a typical eight-hour cream. I use it for actors’ lips instead of a balm, eyelids to give sheen, and to soften cuticles. I mix it with lipsticks to create glossy sheer lip colours without stickiness, and with lip stains they give a better consistency without drying. I mix it with pale eye shadows and blushers to highlight brow bones and cheekbones – try this mix on cheeks, blending into a lovely soft translucent blusher. And don’t forget to use it to slick those brows into place! I can’t live without it”.

Midwife Sharon Trotter, founder of the TIPS midwife-tested awards, also has high praise for the product: “During the winter months it is easy for your baby’s skin to become dry. This product is obviously great for chapped hands and lips, but our testers found many other uses for it, including sore noses and weather damaged cheeks. Parents suggested this would be great for winter trips and outdoor activities. In fact so handy was this product that testers voted it a TIPS Must-have.”

It’s made with the finest organic sweet almond oil to nourish and protect skin, together with the purest unbleached beeswax, for extra weather proofing. Extract of biodynamic calendula, famed for its skin-healing and soothing properties, helps calm any irritation or patches of chapped or stressed skin. A barely-there fragrance of pure essential oils preserves this product naturally, so avoiding the need for artificial preservatives, parabens, or additives of any kind.

Weleda have been making natural health products since 1921. All Weleda Baby products are free from synthetic ingredients, colours or perfume, and suitable for vegetarians. Available from most Boots and Waitrose stores, independent pharmacies and health stores, or from Weleda.

Finding soap made without animal fat, or cosmetics without honey, milk, eggs or lanolin can be downright difficult if you are one of the UK’s 250,000 vegans. It’s World Vegan Day on November 1st, which also marks the start of World Vegan Month, and as a vegetarian company Lush is aware of the plight facing vegans to find beauty products that meet their strict criteria.

Made with fresh, natural ingredients (organic wherever possible), all of Lush’s products are vegetarian and approximately 75% are suitable for vegans. And to make it even easier to identify these products, The Vegan Society logo adorns all that are suitable. This is their attempt to try and make the shopping experience as quick and simple as possible for all vegan customers.

GLGG shower gel (3.90 for 100g or 7.75 for 250g). The traditional Glgg is a spicy, warming, fruity mulled drink for keeping you nice and toasty during the cold months. The Lush version is a shower gel with a similar warming fragrance to spice up your shower time! Containing fresh orange and lemon juices, red wine, brandy, cinnamon and clove, this spicy wash will warm the cockles, helping to improve circulation and fend off the cold.

CINDERS bath ballistic (1.95). Drop this little fire cracker into a pre-run bath and listen as the popping candy fizzles and crackles just like a real fire. Scented with almonds and cherries for a festive mulled wine aroma, there’s also almond essential oil to accentuate the scent. Sweet orange oil lifts the spirits and adds some cheer to dark, winter days. There’s also a touch of cinnamon leaf oil to warm the body, just as if you were by a real fire.

LIP DIP lip scrub (4.50) is a sugary sweet, lemon sherbet lip scrub that will smooth rough, chapped lips and leave them tasting absolutely delicious. Not only does it taste incredible, it’s also a winter must have – containing scrubby sherbet and Fairtrade sugar to exfoliate away any dry, flakey skin, along with softening almond oil to nourish and keep Christmas kisses soft.

Once you’ve exfoliated lips with Lip Dip, smother them with some MAPLE TAFFY lip balm (2.50) and wait for the stampede under the mistletoe! Inspired by the Canadian festive tradition of rolling sticky, gooey maple sap in snow and making a sweet lolly treat, this lip balm is made of 20% maple syrup for that delicious flavour. There’s also a blend of super moisturising butters like illipe butter, shea butter and carnauba wax, as well as glycerine, to really soften and lock in moisture.

An effective way to prepare the skin for winter is to regularly use facemasks. According to Helen Ambrosen, Lush Co-Founder & Product Inventor: “Facemasks containing clays such as kaolin are an excellent way to make sure you are cleaning your skin thoroughly, but at the same time they can deliver softening, protective and comforting benefits that are needed when weather conditions are extreme. They will also work to give the skin a little lift, as the clays tightening effect will help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.” Use once a week as the perfect way to get lots of lovely, fresh ingredients onto your skin and leave them there for a while to work their magic.

A great choice in winter for vegans is the nourishing OATIFIX (4.95 for 75g), as it contains a blend of fine oatmeal and fresh organic bananas that will soothe and calm dry or sensitive skins and illipe butter to reduce redness. Oatifix works to soften the surface of the skin, making it more pliable and flexible, which enables skin to function more easily, to absorb moisture and prevent its loss.

Going into Autumn/Winter Helen recommends using a more heavily weighted moisturiser, try something like SKIN DRINK (10.25 for 45g pot) if you have dry, parched skin. It has a heavier textured formulation that contains healing and soothing aloe vera, together with emollient oils and butters of evening primrose, sesame, cocoa and almond. Also contains fresh avocado, which is packed with oils and antioxidant vitamin E, and is a very rich skin conditioner, perfect for the winter months. nah.
