FACTS THAT ARE UNKNOWN and TO FOLLOW

Don’t use Petroleum jelly

• When applying lip balm make sure it is free from petroleum. Petroleum jelly is safe for skin but not for lips. Since lips are much more thinner than the skin on the body petrol content may make lips go darker.

Who use Lip sticks

• Women who are habituated of applying lipsticks,must take extra care. When applying darker shades or more coats,first of all apply a bit of lip balm and then your desired shade. This will protect your lips from getting dried up. This should be followed especially in the winters to prevent dry and chapped lips.

Biting Lips?

• Lips secrete an oily substance in little amounts called sebum. This keeps the moisture of the lips locked. Some people have the habit of biting lips in tension or when they are in stress and some even have a belief that the more they bite the more their lips will go red which is absolutely wrong. This damages the lips and also sebum secreted will be of no use effecting the delicate texture of lips. So it is advised to stop this in order to prevent further damage.
• When removing the lip make up instead of simply wiping away with cotton,you can dampen the cotton balls with almond oil or olive oil and then remove it. This not only will act as lubricant,it also provides nourishment to lips.
