How to choose lip balm

Lip balm is a kind of cosmetics that must be used in winter, because in winter, many people's lips will be chapped. If the lips are accidentally chapped, then if you don't moisturize your lips in time, cracks will appear. At this time, if you apply some lip balm on your lips, you can moisturize your lips and improve the chapped lips in time. So how to choose lip balm?

A. Girls who like fragrant lip balms, be careful of chemical fragrances

The presence or absence of fragrance cannot be completely equated with safety. If chemical flavors are added to lip balm products, it will be harmful to the human body if consumed. However, some lip balm products are extracted from pure plant essences, and the fragrance also comes from the fragrance of the plants themselves, so it is okay even if you ingest them while licking your lips. However, it is still recommended to change the habit of licking your lips. Licking your lips will only keep the moisture on the outside of the lips, which will evaporate after a while and will also cause the moisture in the lips to evaporate together.

B. Lipstick makeup can also damage the lip skin

Dry lips cannot be solved simply by applying lip balm frequently. It usually reflects some of your internal conditions, such as spleen heat and stomach dryness, lack of certain trace elements in the body, etc., so you need to slowly adjust and improve it from the inside out. Girls with easily dry lips should try to avoid using long-lasting lipstick or highly pigmented lip gloss, as this will not only highlight dry lip lines and ruin your makeup, but will also aggravate the degree of dryness. No matter how moisturizing the lipstick or lip gloss is, it will still steal moisture from your lips.

C. Choose the right lip balm based on its ingredients

Lip balm containing mineral oil should be used with caution, as mineral oil only moisturizes the surface and cannot achieve a true moisturizing effect.

When choosing lip products, pay attention to whether they contain:

1. Natural beeswax: Beeswax is extracted from the honeycomb and has a very good moisturizing effect.

2. Natural plant oils: such as avocado oil, evening primrose oil, macadamia oil, castor seed oil, jojoba oil and other vegetable oils.

3. Plant essence extraction: rose, calendula, chamomile, marshmallow, aloe vera. Rose has a restorative effect, Chamomile has a soothing effect, and Aloe Vera has a moisturizing effect.

4. Vitamin E: Vitamin E can increase the density between keratin cells and improve the phenomenon of peeling and dryness.

If you use these methods when choosing lip balm, then you can choose the lip balm that suits you best. The choice of lip balm should also be based on your needs. For example, if your lips are dry, then you can choose a lip balm that can moisturize your lips. If your lips have wounds, then you should also choose a pure natural one. You can also make your own lip balm.
