There are countless solutions for chapped lips on the market and for those who still struggle with dryness and flaking may appreciate “lip basting” as recommended by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss.
This lip-saving hack was created by Dr. Shereene Idriss during a trip to Wyoming. Finding lip balms lackluster and lip scrubs too harsh, Dr. Shereene Idriss sought an alternative. “I would apply a chemical exfoliator and then baste my lips with a rich body cream like they were a turkey on Thanksgiving,” described Dr. Shereene Idriss, “Inspired by this hack, I wanted to create a fool-proof system strong enough to fix my flaky lips, while gentle enough for daily use and improving the lips’ skin barrier long-term.”
The Barrier Baste Lip Basting Duo includes Barrier Baste Lip Peel, a first-of-its-kind, made-for-lips chemical exfoliator, and Barrier Baste Lip Baste to lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier.
