There’s been a lot of summer-teasing in my life of late. The bank holiday weekend lent a much-needed but too-short warmth to my skin, a European weekend wedding- just 24 hours of tantalising 26° heat and then I received Dr. Organic’s Virgin Coconut Oil Lip Serum.
It landed on my desk to quick dismissal (I’ve never been a fan of food-fragranced lip treatments – too much lip-licking temptation and not enough lip-saving properties). But then, having somehow misplaced my trusty Lanolips 101 Ointment I grabbed Dr. Organic’s as a quick lip fix and appeared to have smothered my lips in summer itself.
Believe me when I say that this is the Tropics in a tube.
Not only does the combination of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Shea Butter evoke far-flung beaches, suncream and salt-water, (with the addition of Vitamin E) the Lip Serum also glides onto lips, plumping, soothing and hydrating as it goes.
