Whether or not you wear makeup, a lip balm is your must-have, isn’t it? With a variety of lip balms available these days, choosing the right one is a real challenge. When your lips are dry and chapped, it is almost impossible to apply a lipstick and even if you do, your lips will look like the Sahara desert with some tints of sunset. Avoid it by choosing the right lip balm for your pout.
Both kinds of lip balms nourish and plump your lips. Unlike non-tinted balms, though, softly tinted lip balms add a wash of your favorite shade to your natural lip color. However, what matters most is your lip balm’s ingredient list because it helps you purchase the correct type of a lip balm for your pout.
When choosing a lip balm for the fall, look for the one with a rich moisturizing agent like lanolin. The harsh winter season damages your lips, which is why it is important that your lip balm has a powerful nourishing effect.
Choose a lip balm with jojoba, coconut, hemp, almond, or olive oil, or better with shea butter. All these ingredients ensure an instant moisture effect and will keep your lips safe and sound even during the frosty and windy weather.
Slather your lips with a winter-friendly balm before bed and when you spend a lot of time outdoors. If you use a lipstick, apply the balm 10 minutes before applying your lipstick.
The skin on your lips is highly vulnerable to the sun’s rays, which is why it is crucial to use a lip balm with at least SPF 30 protection. This balm will protect your lips from damaging UV rays and keep them nourished and moisturized. You can choose a water-resistant lip balm for those long beach trips during the summer hot days.
If your lips are dry and chapped in the summer, look for balms with SPF and aloe, chamomile and rose extracts, as well as honey and milk. Not only do these lip balms nourish and protect your lips, but they also have powerful anti-aging effects.
There are a few types of lip balm containers and the most popular ones include:
- Lip balm jars. Some of the most effective and nourishing balms out there. They are hard to use on the go, but perfect for the winter season.
- Lip balm sticks. Easy to use on the go, a lip balm stick is in every lady’s bag. Lip balm sticks can have either light or heavy formula and they come in a huge variety of flavors and colors.
- Liquid lip balm tubes. Although these are not as popular as lip balm sticks, they are ideal for the summer season.
When choosing a lip balm, remember about the quality. Cheap lip balms are more likely to contain allergens and harmful ingredients, such as parabens, butylated hydroxyanisole, petrolatum, homosalate, octinoxate, oxybenzone, and other chemicals. Read the labels and look for organic and natural lip brands.
