Hi Gorgeous,
At Madame Gabriela, the obsession with lips and their care stems from a deep understanding of just how delicate this facial feature truly is. The extraordinary fragility of lips demands specialized attention and care practices that recognize their unique vulnerabilities.
Lips represent one of the body's most vulnerable skin surfaces for several key reasons:
Unique Structure
- The skin on your lips is significantly thinner than facial skin (3-5 layers vs 15-16 layers elsewhere)
- Lips lack oil glands that naturally moisturize other skin
- They have minimal to no melanin (the pigment that protects skin from UV damage)
- The transition zone between regular skin and lip tissue (vermilion border) is particularly delicate
- High Cellular Turnover: Lip cells regenerate faster than other skin, making them more susceptible to disruption
The Madame Gabriela Lip Care
This obsession with lip care recognizes that our lips require unique formulations and approaches:
- True Protection: Natural emollients and plant-based moisturizers that mimic the body's missing protective barriers (think our ingredients, Manuka Honey, Avocado Oil and others)
- Clean Ingredient Philosophy: Avoidance of irritants, synthetic fragrances, hormone disruptors and harsh ingredients that can damage vulnerable lip tissue
Our Care Principles
Understanding this lip fragility means embracing specific care principles:
- Consistent Hydration: Regular application of our nourishing formula to compensate for missing natural moisture
- Protection-First Mindset: Creating barriers against environmental aggressors before damage occurs
- Preventative Approach: Addressing early signs of aging and damage before they progress
Make better choices for you and your loved ones.
xoxo
Gabriela
