Lip Balm

The lips are a very sensual part of the body. When it comes to skin care, many people take this area for granted and don't apply a lip moisturizer until problems, such as chapping, occur. Once this happens, getting the moisture on the lips back into balance is harder than preventing healthy lips from becoming dry in the first place. A good thing to have handy that can be applied throughout the day is a natural lip balm that is free of synthetic chemicals as the lips are one of the most absorbent areas on the body.

Unlike the rest of your skin, the lips do not secrete sebum which is the natural way the body balances moisture on the skin's surface.

Over time, if lips are chronically dry, the skin surrounding the lips lose their elasticity and this leads to the appearance of fine lines around the mouth. This is a sign of premature aging and is easily preventable by keeping your lips well moisturized.

It is best to choose lip balms made with natural, and whenever possible organic, ingredients.
