When to use a lip balm?

Regular lip hydration is necessary. Indeed, this delicate area does not produce either sebum or melanin for protection. However, it undergoes various aggressions such as:

• UV rays;

• Temperature changes;

• The rain;

• Air conditioning;

• The acidity of saliva;

• Acidic foods (such as lemon or tomato);

• Alcohol...

The lip's skin barrier is sensitive, and the effects of dryness appear quickly: chapping, flaking, bleeding... To keep this part of the face healthy, the application of a moisturizing treatment like a lip balm is necessary. In addition to reducing the sensation of dryness, this treatment is known for its nourishing, softening, and repairing actions. It is available in a neutral or tinted version, thus combining the functions of a treatment and makeup.

The recommended frequency depends on your needs. If you are using a lip balm preventively, apply it three times a day to keep your lips soft and hydrated. You can apply it:

• In the morning, after you have brushed your teeth. Indeed, toothpaste can potentially dry out the skin of the lips.

• After lunch.

• In the evening before bedtime.

For this final step, it is recommended to apply a generous layer of lip balm, as cellular regeneration occurs at night. If you increase the amount of care, the skin will benefit more from its advantages, and you will wake up with nourished, soft, and supple lips.

Furthermore, if you typically wear makeup on a daily basis, apply your balm before lipstick, as the latter can cause skin dryness. By letting it sit for a few minutes, you allow the moisturizing agents to perform their function.

Finally, on damaged lips, it is appropriate to apply a new layer of balm as soon as they feel tight or start to dry out.
