It’s that time of year again; love is in the air, with pinks and reds and flowers everywhere we look. Conversation hearts, boxes of chocolates and spa gift certificates are given as tokens of love and appreciation. For those who have a significant other, it is a time to remember why we fell in love. For those who are single, it is a time to ponder the question: Will you be their Valentine…or not? At any rate, it is a time we are reminded to love ourselves, and the skin we’re in. With so much time and effort devoted to hydrating, peeling, protecting and rejuvenating our skin, it is important to include the entire face and not overlook our eyes and lips in the process.

A pillowy pout is not only an allusion to youth but also a beacon for kisses. As we age, our lips lose volume and environmental factors, like the sun, encourage moisture loss and skin aging. If you need a visual, think of grapes and raisins. When a grape is set out in the sun, it loses moisture and becomes a raisin. No one wants to kiss a raisin. To ensure lips stay plump and luscious, like a grape, it is imperative to incorporate lip specific products that protects with physical SPF and hydrates with skin-friendly oils.

Lira Clinical’s newly launched BB Lip Balm provides a unique lip experience, balancing topical probiotics and plumping with volumizing peptides. The essential strengthening benefits of topical probiotics increase moisture retention keeping lips soft and supple. BB Lip Balm’s versatility is a go-to, front purse pocket product with smoothing hydration for pucker-perfect lips from the ski slopes to sandy beaches. For an extra special treatment, use BIO Lip Factor in the evening. The healing and plumping peptides are perfectly paired with your favorite Lira Clinical hydrator in any home treatment program.

Eyes are said to be the window to one’s soul but can also be the first give-away of age, for both women and men.The delicate skin around the eyes is different from the resilient, yet precious skin of the face. For that, it deserves a dedicated product to address the unique structure and challenges. Dark circles, puffiness, dehydration, and crows feet are common signs of aging. Lira Clinical’s MYSTIQ Perfecting Eye Crème targets all of these pesky concerns in one helpful little bottle, making it an easy addition to all home treatment programs.

But don’t forget your lashes! As we age, our lashes become shorter and thinner. For maintaining, or returning to youthful, feathery lashes, use PRO Lux Lash with its non-prostaglandin and nourishing plant stem cells formulation. This amazing, non-irritating product (that is lash extension safe), along with the MYSTIQ Perfecting Eye Crème, BB Lip Balm and BIO Lip Factor will encourage confidence while staring in the mirror, batting your eyes, proclaiming “Oh hey self! Are you flirting with me? I love you!” XOXO *wink*.
