Dermalogica Nightly Lip Treatment
Because the mouth is a high-movement area, it’s also one of the places that wrinkles are most likely to form, which is why using a targeted product to take care of the area is important. As with other night creams, this lip treatment is ultra-rich and contains Indian gentian, an herb which is found high in the Himalayan mountains. It helps thicken the epidermis, which reduces skin fragility and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles on and around the lips.
