LIP BALM ADDICTION #shorts

Lip Balm Addiction

If you apply lip balm multiple times a day or panic when you don’t have chapstick on hand, you may be wondering if you’re addicted to your lip balm

Turns out that lip balms don’t contain any addicting ingredients but there are a few reasons why you may need to continually apply your lip balm:
1. You may have formed the habit of licking your lips more often because of the flavor of your lip balm
2. Your lip balm may contain irritating ingredients that irritate your lips making you want to apply it more often

Ingredients to avoid: Camphor, Menthol, Peppermint, Castor oil, Fragrance, Propolis

My recommendations:
-Vaseline original
-CeraVe healing ointment
-Aquaphor (not their lip balm, but their regular ointment)

Finally, if that fails, consider switching your toothpaste! Many toothpastes contain ingredients that irritate the lips!

I’ve tried bunch of expensive lip balms but nothing beats vaseline.

I'm addicted to the beautiful tint that some lip balms give to my dead colorless lips

[_hihi_.]

It all started when my friend offered me an unused Carmex lip balm…

It’s just a habit, when you do something long enough you don’t even realize you’re doing it 😅 I use chapstick for dry lips and always have it with me.

If you’re addicted to lip balm, find a lip balm with high UVA protection to be addicted to 😁

Fun facts: Vaseline doesn’t moisturise the lips, it locks in the existing moisture

I love to use aquaphor it’s just repairing and moisturizing leaving my lips so soft and smooth.

I purposely formed a lip balm addiction.

Mainly because before that I would rip the skin off my lips to the point of bleeding.

So now I constantly put on lip balm whenever I have that urge, as a sort of replacement or whatever.

I’ve learned that Vaseline isn’t probably the best one to use. It makes your lips more cracky and you want to use more. It’ll just make your lips worser

[theinternettrashcan]

i use vaseline bc i have hella sensitive lips and pretty much every chapstick bUt this one makes my lips have a reaction

[bookwhorem]

I agree that some lip balms will keep your lips more dry when you stop using them. So they are making you want to use it more.

As someone who have tried out many lip balms, I can confidently say that vaseline isn't the best kind. I mostly use clear lip balms, and most of them doesn't soak into the skin it just remains there waiting to be smeared dry upon lip's contact with something and thus provide no help for the chapped skin, it felt even worse if small hard dead skin pokes out from the lips. Not to mention, application just look bland and plain on the lips as it doesn't compliment the skin at all, most also darkens the skin like some deodorants does to Armpits. While vaseline is very affordable and might work good for moisturizing certain body parts, it doesn't work best for lips. So I settled for Tender care; although not tinted, it isn't greasy or liquid-ish, even the container is small and adorable but the most important is the product. Although containing no colour the one I'm using) it makes my lips soft and pink-ish proving it's magic in moisturizing, furthermore it doesn't have any sight effects and works wonders.

I can never go on without lip balm because I have a habit of licking my lips when they're dry so I need something emollient on my lips to stop that.

[lamonochromatique]

I'm okay with my lip balm addiction 😂 I hate the feeling of my lips without it on.

[CSlayers]

Just so y’all know-
Lip balm from Burt’s Bees has no addicting or harmful chemicals in it so it is also a great choice if you have chapped lips!!!

[maiyukinoshita]

Thanks doc. Now I understand why some lipbalm brands can't do anything about my lips drying.

[babykrul]

Omg the little tubs of vaseline and cerave look so cute when you’re used to the big tubs 😂
