The transition from summer to fall is never an easy one – after months of sunny days spent by the pool with a glass of rosé in hand, cold weather descends, tans fade and suddenly, nothing looks as good as it could, including our skin. Skincare is important all year round, of course, but the effects of not taking care of your skin are a lot more visible during cooler months; flaking, cracking and dehydration all become realities. But combating cold weather skin doesn’t have to be a chore if you have the right products. If you know me, then you know that I am always focused on moisturising a particular part of my face that most people don’t give much thought to – my lips. I have a terrible habit of biting and picking the skin on my lips – I’ve been doing it since I was four, and nothing has ever worked to make me stop – so having a good moisturising balm is particularly important. I’ve tried so many different products over the years, but EOS lip balms are by far my favourite. The delicious scents, like passion fruit and sweet mint, are part of what I love about them, but it’s really the major moisturising power that they offer that makes them better than anything else I’ve ever tried. (They even keep my lips moist on the plane, where all the moisture normally disappears from my skin instantly.) While, admittedly, natural and organic ingredients aren’t something I necessarily prioritise when buying beauty products, being more concerned with whether the product really works (and, okay, occasionally distracted by cute packaging, too), it’s nice to know that EOS lip balms are not only effective, but are 100% natural, 95% organic and GMO-free. Naturally, when I found out that EOS made more than lip balms, I had to try their other products – because if anything can moisturise my dry, abused lips, it has to be good. My hands and legs are often dry during the colder months, a problem that I know is pretty common – in fact, I bet half of you could say the same. It took me ages to realise my legs were dry because I was (and I hate to even admit it) shaving without using a shaving cream. I’ve finally come to my senses, integrating EOS vanilla bliss shave cream into my daily shower routine and layering on EOS body lotion afterwards. This is probably a little gross but it’s also proof that EOS really works: when I added these two products into my skincare regimen, I stopped needing to wash my black jeans every time I wore them, because there were no more little white flakes on the inside of the fabric after I wore them. Too much information? Probably, but it’s true. If you struggle with dry skin in the fall and winter, EOS just might be able to give you some relief, too. And there’s no denying that their packages look beautiful in the bathroom, too!
I keep an EOS lip balm on my desk at all times – it’s lasted soooo long-
I had no idea they made other products than the lip balms, the shaving cream (vanilla!!!) is something I would try.
I do love my little eos balls, and tend to have a plethora of them rolling around in my purse, desk at work, and around the house. The lemon drop spf ball hasn’t left my bag since the start of the summer, since remembering to put suncreen on my lips is important!

Their packaging is always divine. Their lip balms and shaving cream are nice.
