Although many people assume lip balm is only necessary during colder seasons, you can—and should—use lip balm daily. Our lips are highly susceptible to exposure and harsh outdoor elements. While standard lip products can be helpful, flavored lip balm has several advantages. For more reasons to use flavored lip balm, continue reading our blog below.
Keep Your Lips
Hydrated
Since we expose our lips to so many harsh elements, such as weather, acidic foods, and nervous biting, we need to keep our lips hydrated throughout the day. Lips do not have oil glands like regular skin pores, which means lips are more likely to dry out faster than skin cells. If you don’t moisturize your lips regularly, the skin will crack, peel, and possibly blister over time. Dehydrated lips can also bleed and leave permeant scars near dry tears.
Flavored lip balm can prevent all these painful effects and keep your lips healthy with a few simple daily applications.
Soothe Sunburnt Lips
Now that summer has arrived and the sun is stronger than ever, it’s time to break out the sunscreen. While most people remember to put sunscreen on their skin before a long day outside, many don’t realize how much sun damage our lips can endure. Wearing flavored lip balm with SPF can help to avoid painful sunburn on your lips.
If you’ve already burnt your lips and need a product to soothe away painful irritation, flavored lip balm can also be instrumental in rehydrating damaged skin.
It’s Delicious
Indulging in hints of sweet and delicious flavors is one of the best reasons to use flavored lip balm. While this product is not for consumption, a small transfer of flavor is common whenever you apply a product to the lips. Since lip balm is so easy to make, you can choose a food flavoring concentrate to add to your balm’s formula and accent your lips with your favorite flavors.
Not only do these balms taste delicious, but they also smell sweeter. Creating a lip balm with a desirable taste and smell will encourage you to utilize this product all day long to keep your lips hydrated and healthy.
