Pucker Up or Pout: Lip Balm
Nourishing Lip Balm, humble and kind. A beauty accessory for all, this plays such an important role in maintaining the softness of our beautiful kind lips.
Moisture Yes Please
Lip balm’s primary function is the moisture, like literally. It creates a protective barrier so that our lips do not become dry or chapped even in the harsh weather. No hot chocolate is going to moisturize those lips.
Cracking and Peeling:
Lips balm can prevent your lips from peeling. Let’s be honest here, it looks unpleasant when you are talking to someone. Dry lips are not that quite attractive and it can be painful.
Lip Health
Yes, your lips need to be healthy too. When using ingredients like shea butters, essential oils and beeswax, this can help to keep your lips supple and soft like butter.
Better for Makeup Application
Lip balm can create a smooth canvas like a baby’s bottom. Any lipstick, lip pencil and lip gloss can glide on for a smoother flawless finish. Plus, it can stay on for a longer period of time.
Multiuse
Lip Balm is awesome, since you don’t have to use it for your lips. No, Rakstars, you don’t. You can use it for a quick fix for dry cuticles, rough elbows or to even tame the beast (those eyebrows) in a quick fix.
Rakstars, try out these moisturizing lip balm – they are like a soft cloud or if you want you can create your own.
