Triggers for Cold Sores

lipivir® identifies the following as common causes of cold sores:

• Emotional or physical stress
• Fatigue, lack of sleep or exhaustion
• Sunlight, including tanning beds
• Colds or other upper respiratory problems; fever
• Cold weather and wind
• Hormonal fluctuations ( menstruation or menopause)
• Trauma or injury to your lips including dryness and cracking, dental procedures, cosmetic surgery, chemical peels, laser therapy, or waxing and threading

How Can Lipivir® Prevent Cold Sores?

Discovered by scientists in Switzerland lipivir is an ointment that doesn’t require a prescription. It is made of a unique mixture of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) which is a safe ingredient commonly used in products like skin creams.

The scientists in Switzerland discovered that PEGs interfere with the herpes simplex virus, preventing its ability to infect the healthy cells in your lips. Using lipivir daily still allows the cold sore trigger to wake up the virus, but lipivir stops it from infecting your lips to produce a cold sore.

Easy right?

 

Daily use of lipivir is very easy. Just apply a small amount to your fingertip and spread on lips. Wait five minutes and then you can apply your makeup and regular skin care routines. Keep one tube of lipivir in your makeup kit and one in your purse or backpack to ensure you are able to keep up with daily applications. One lipivir tube will last two months with daily use. Each tube goes a long way!

With these tips for healthy living combined with daily prevention with lipivir you can feel confident you are doing everything to prevent cold sore outbreaks.
