First-aid for chapped lips & dry hands


Hello fashion fanatics!

My latest discovery that everyone should know about is something that will cure your super-chapped lips, works as a super-moisturizing lip gloss, and in most cases will also cure eczema and really dry, cracking hands. What is this miracle product, and where can you get it?

It goes by the name Prevex, and can be found at most drugstores for about $12CA. My dermatologist recommended this to me for my chapped lips and dry hands and let me tell you, it's worth it's weight in shoes! It is a vasoline-based product, fragrance-free, non-irritating, and hypoallergenic. A dime-sized dab is all you need. Be careful of applying too much, since it can be greasy in excess. Kept in an upright position, the cream becomes more liquidy and is idea for a moisterizing lip gloss on it's own, or over your favorite lip stick. You can also try it as a base beneath lipstick, especially when your lips are too dry for lipstick to go on smoothly. This product is SO much better than typical chapsticks, as it does not contain any alcohol, which makes your lips tingle for a few seconds at the expense of drying out your skin! Also try it on your hands and elbows (I use it every night) and you will have baby-soft skin in no time :-)

Until next time,

The Reluctant Fashionista
