Stores now carry a wide variety of lip products from the simplest form of lip moisturizers to fruity lip balms and moisturizing lipsticks. There are even organic lip balms, natural lip balms and medicated ones too. However, regardless of the type, effective lip balms must contain ingredients that help protect the lips from drying. Here are some of the ingredients you should look out for:*Glycerin ò€“ this ingredient help in the absorption of water to keep the lips wet. It also helps in making the skin soft.
*Emollients ò€“ these are ingredients that help keep the lips hydrated and soft.
*Humectants ò€“ these are ingredients that help the skin hold more than enough moisture to keep it from drying.
*Beeswax
*Cocoa Butter
*Almond oil
If your skin has a tendency of being oily and easily irritated, you should stick with water-based emollients or glycerin based lip moisturisers.
If you are more concerned about your lips, it is best that you go for lip balms with lesser fragrance because it won"t cause any irritations or drying.
There may be a lot of lip balms out there and some may come in fancy packaging and attractive colors but do not be distracted. Look for lip balms that have either of the ingredients mentioned above.
