Keep Balm and Carry On

Five ingredients your lip balm must definitely have!

The dry winter air outside and low humidity level indoors can really play havoc with your lips, leading them to develop splits and cracks. While you layer up from head to toe during the nippy winter months, your lips remain exposed to the sun, wind, cold and dry air. It is therefore, essential to carry a good lip balm which ensures long lasting protection and moisturisation.  When it comes to choosing the right lip balm here’s what you must look for:

SPF protection 

 Surprisingly enough, the winter sun does cause skin tanning. Since the UV rays of the sun still penetrate the ozone layer during winter, tanning, skin darkening and dryness prevails as much as it does during summers. If a lip balm doesn’t have sunscreen, then all the moisturizing ingredients won’t protect you from the sun’s harsh rays. 

Tints

At the end of the day, you don’t just want a balm that cares but also one that offers color. Tints are those hints of fun that offer the best of both worlds. Whether it’s peach, strawberry, cherry or vanilla, tints complete the deal of color along with care.

Long lasting

With winter comes dryness and with dryness comes cracked lips.  Having to apply a lip balm multiple times during the day just to watch it fade away after a steaming cup of coffee can be quite disappointing. What you want, is a balm that is long lasting and keeps your lips well hydrated! 

Packaging

Great things come in small packages, and that’s something that applies so much to lip balms. Being able to carry, apply and store your lip balm with ease is definitely important when selecting your lip balm. Whether they come in pots or sticks, application with ease must be factored. 

Moisturisation

Coconut oil, jojoba oil, hemp oil: All of these ingredients don’t just treat your lips temporarily, but they actually allow your lips to absorb the oil and effectively treat dryness beneath the surface.

This winter, get the balm that has Little Tints with lots of care!
