Lip Balms Guide
A lip balm is used for
protecting the lips from burning, cracking, and chapping. It
is made with ingredients that moisturize and heal dry and
chapped lips such as aloe, vitamin E, beeswax, peppermint
oil, and jojoba. It usually has an SPF (sun protection
factor) for protecting the lips from UV rays. It can be
flavored, scented, or tinted.
Types of
Lip Balms?
A bees wax lip balm contains
real beeswax that can soothe burning, cracked, and chapped
lips. It is applied to the lips using the finger or a lip
balm wand. It can have aloe for moisture and peppermint oil
for a cool feeling.
A medicated lip balm is ideal for those with sensitive lips
and those who frequent the outdoors. It usually has an SPF
rating of not less than 15, and it is available in natural
flavors.
A sheer lip balm is usually SPF-rated. It has aloe and
vitamin E. It provides a minimal lip color just like a lip
gloss. |
