Lip balm

Japanese lip balm

Lip care and treatment products are another must-have in a woman's beauty bag. Nourishing balm can be used alone or as a base for lipstick. Many people wonder what a lip balm is. Let's answer with a precise formulation: it is a special product that is designed to protect and nourish the skin of the lips with moisture to avoid discomfort under the influence of aggressive climatic factors. It is the lips that are exposed to the harmful effects of wind, frost and sun. Typically, lip balm is available in the form of a stick, which creates a soft and light enveloping texture. It can be used from any age to care for all skin types.

Japanese balms solve many problems:

• They restore skin integrity,
• Saturate with moisture,
• Nourish with vitamins and nutrients,
• Provide sun protection
• They eliminate flaking.

What types of balms exist and how to choose one:

1. Consider the time of year. In winter, to nourish the lips you will need a composition enriched with oils to protect them from frost and wind. In summer, it is necessary to protect them from the sun.
2. With dry indoor air, air travel and air conditioning, lips need active moisturizing at all times.
3. For regular use, balms with beeswax and shea butter are suitable to help skin regeneration.
4. Consider the color, texture and scent of the balm when purchasing it to appreciate its quality and enjoy using it.

What is in Japanese lip balm?

The skin on the lips does not have a horny layer, so it often loses moisture when traveling by airplane, in an air-conditioned room, in the cold or in the sun. This is followed by flaking, tightness and cracking. This is when lip balm is the first remedy. It can be used as a base for lipstick, applying it as a base coat. In this case, the skin is nourished and decorative cosmetics retain their appearance better and last longer. The balm enhances the tone of the lipstick, making it more expressive and creating the effect of "perfect lips".

Japanese lip balms are based on deep sea water saturated with natural microelements that are easily absorbed by the skin cells. Also present in the composition are

• Macadamia nut fatty acids (phytosterols),
• Murasaki root extracts,
• hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid,
• Tocopherols,
• Minerals and vitamins.

The composition of lip balms varies according to the season. Usually, nourishing products contain many different oils, which provides a dense consistency. Such a composition is well suited for frosty weather or autumn inclement weather.

Plant extracts and vitamin complexes lighten the texture of the balm and ensure rapid absorption by the skin. It is an option for summer and sunny spring, so sunscreen filters are added. Another of its tasks is to delay the evaporation of moisture, so developers often write about it on the packaging.

Tinted balm has an additional color pigment, which gives a delicate shine and a delicate natural shade. Such means are released by brands of decorative cosmetics.

How to properly use the balm?

Even when you bought the perfect lip balm from Japan, the result will not be, if there is a habit of licking or biting lips. It is especially harmful to do this in cold or windy weather. Wetting the skin surface with saliva increases dryness and accelerates skin aging, as well as contributing to the appearance of irritations.

Japanese balm is available in lipstick form, making it easy to use:

• Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before use.
• Simply apply it to the skin of the lips in a thin layer and spread evenly.
• Apply it several times a day, as this product tends to be "eaten", absorbed or rubbed in.

You should not share your cosmetics with your friends, as each person has a different microflora, which can be transmitted by contact.
