It’s getting colder every day outside, and as people who take care of the health and beauty of your skin, we highly recommend carrying two products with you: a good lip balm and hand cream. The fact is that the skin of the lips does not have sebaceous glands, it is also thin and sensitive, therefore it is prone to drying, peeling and cracking. To protect him from this, make it a rule to use balm before leaving the house. And we will tell you which one to choose from a wide variety of options.
How to choose the right balm for yourself?
First, decide on the format. If you like that the balm does not take up much space in your pocket or purse and has a butter-like texture, pay attention to the products in the package. They generally have a composition rich in fats and low consumption. The only drawback of the balm on the disc is application. It is most convenient to do this with your fingers, but on the street you do not want to take your hand out of your gloves all the time. For such cases, a balm in the classic stick was created. Another popular format is the applicator. Typically the texture of this product is more liquid and spreads smoothly on the skin.
