Rescue Remedy: Wei East 8th Wonder

Lip balm is the one product I can’t be without.

I’m sure it’s just an OCD tic that’s all in my head, but I am a mess if my lips are dry. It’s especially bad after a meal or right before bed. The thought of lying down for bed at night without lip balm makes my neck itch and brings on a low grade fever.

For this reason, my night stand is stocked with an assortment of lip balms in every shape and size, but my absolute favorite of late is Wei East China Herbal 8th Wonder Rescue Remedies.

This amazing balm has a really mild scent and leaves my lips moisturized all night long. Also, the impressive combination of Chinese herbs relieves an array of skin woes including dry cuticles, itchy scalp, dry patches on the face, elbows, heels and feet.

My tin is almost gone so I just went to their site and ordered two more for $19.50 each. I just hope they arrive before I run completely out!

This month CHANEL reveals the latest addition to their Hydramax + Active collection: HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin and HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care.

These new offerings are formulated to help retain skin’s moisture and restore the naturally occurring dynamics of skin hydration. HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin combines the immediate nourishing and protective benefits of shea butter with the deeper continuous action of rosemary liposomes. HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care is a highly efficacious lip treatment, specifically formulated for intensely parched lips.

I adore the HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE line for the refreshing scent and light texture of the formulas, especially as the weather begins to warm up.

HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Nourishing Cream for Dry Skin and HYDRAMAX + ACTIVE Lip Care are available beginning this month at department and specialty stores and online at chanel.com.
