No Chapstick is not addictive. It seem like it is but that’s probably more psychological. To avoid dry lips try not to lick them so often. Avoid lip products with salicylic acid which can dry lips out. Keeping lips moist in the winter is tough. One reason they are more vulnerable than other parts of our face is because they don’t have oil glands. Emollients like Vaseline and Chapstick or wax-based balms help seal lips again the elements. Many products claim to be medicated which is often not really an accurate claim. Blistex has 0.5% phenol, which actually does qualify as “medicine”. The trouble with phenol and other added ingredients such as camphor or menthol is that they can irritate sensitive lips.

Need a great lip balm?

I have got a great recommendation. The product is SCO Lip Balm. It is creamy without being waxy or sticky and is filled with conditioning flower extracts that soften dry, chapped lips.

Do you have uneven lips?

Beauty Tip: To balance unevenly shaped lips, use a lighter colored lipstick on the smaller-sized lip. (Remember lighter brings things out!)

Are you trying to deemphasize your full lips?

If your lips over-power your face be selective with your lipstick. Try neutral tones and don’t wear any lip color that is too glossy or shiny. Don’t use lip liner, but if you like the look, soften edge with your finger or a Q-tip.

Accentuate your top lip by dabbing just a touch of gloss in the center. Highlight your lips with a very light eye shadow color that coordinates with your lip color tones. Place it right in the center of your upper and lower lips.
