Q: My lips always dry out in the winter and I would love to find a cute lip-gloss that also moisturizes my lips. Any suggestions?

Q: How do you keep your hair healthy throughout the winter?
A: Hair usually takes a beating during the winter. People tend to pull heir hair back in ponytails more, don’t condition enough and allow dry indoor heat to suck out the moisture. These factors add up to leave us with dehydrated lifeless hair by the end of winter. But it doesn’t have to be like this. You can fight back by keeping your hair out of your everyday winter ponytail, washing hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and coating strands with a leave in conditioner. Charles Worthington London makes a great moisture seal line that helps to bring the beauty, vitality an bounce back to dry, damaged hair with super-hydrating an protective products.

The Moisture Seal Conditioner infuses dry hair with active rehydration and smoothers. And the moisture Seal Hair Healer Leave-In Conditioner is a deep-acting cream that coats your hair with a moisturizing shield against external drying factors, like heat styling and bad weather.

Prescriptives always has the best lip stuff. A lot of people always use M.A.C. but I argue that Prescriptives products last longer on the lip and are higher quality.
These are great suggestions. The Jane Carter Solution is the ish!!!
