We want dry, chapped lips—said no one, ever.
To help whip our kissers into shape, we put together a homemade lip scrub with some things we found in our kitchen. Check out the recipe below and shop our lip care products.
Warm up the coconut oil (so it’s easier to mix) and pour it into a small bowl. Add in the rose hip oil and sugar, pour in coffee grounds, drizzle the honey, and stir it all together! Cover and keep it in the fridge for up to 7 days. Our Restoring Night Cream jar works as the perfect reusable container but take a look around your house and see what you have lyin' around.
After you apply and rinse off the lip scrub, gently pat-dry with a washcloth and seal the deal by applying our ultra-moisturizing CocoBalm Lip Balm. Oh, and don’t forget to drink tons of water too. That is KEY for having happy, hydrated lips.
Pucker up, buttercup.

Does sunscreen block blue light? Some do, some don't, it all comes down to what's in the bottle. If you're wondering, can sunscreen block blue light? The answer is yes, but only certain formulas offer meaningful protection. Blue light comes from the sun and is emitted from every screen you look at, and it's been linked to dark spots and early signs of aging. The catch is that a lot of everyday sunscreens aren't built to block it. Here's which formulas actually help, and how to give your skin better backup against blue light.
If you've ever wondered, can you get sunburned under water, the answer is also yes because UV rays continue traveling below the surface. Your dip might feel like a refreshing break from the sun, but UV rays don’t stop at the surface. They travel right into the water with you, which means your skin could still get burned when surfing, swimming, or splashing around. Read on for why swimming can actually increase your burn risk, and how to stay protected while still making the most of your beach days. Because one thing about us, we’re staying in the water.
Do you need to wear sunscreen indoors? It sounds like overkill until you realize how much sun gets inside. If you're wondering, "should I wear sunscreen indoors?" the answer is yes, especially if you spend time near windows or in bright indoor spaces. Between the UVA rays slipping through your windows and the blue light off your screens, indoors isn't the safe space for your skin you might think it is. Here's when indoor SPF comes in clutch, what it protects against, and how to fit it into your routine.
Does SPF 30 vs. SPF 50 feel like choosing between green or red sauce on your burrito? We get it and we’ve got you. Here's what changes between the two and when to bump up.
Is 70 the new 50? When it comes to SPF, we love them both. From daily coverage in peak summer to all-out protection if your surf trip turns tropical (lucky you),if you’re comparing SPF 50 vs 70, or wondering does SPF 70 work better than 50, the answer comes down to how intense your sun exposure is.
We’re going for bronzed, not burned, and choosing between SPF 15 vs. SPF 30 can be the difference between the two. Here's what to know before you, ahem, reach for the bottle.
