Lip Gloss Addicts Unite

Your appearance says a lot about you. What girl doesn’t want to look and feel her best? We want to look presentable to the world and be noticed for our natural beauty inside and out. Most of us need a little help in the “natural” part of our beauty regimen though. Once we leave our home looking the part we want to reflect, touching up our lip gloss throughout the day or night is just part of a girl’s upkeep. The shimmer, the scents, the variety of colors in lip gloss are endless.

There is just something about lip gloss that finishes a look! But have you ever been accused of being a lip gloss addict? Lip balms are in high demand and many women will simply not be without their lip gloss. Luckily for us, there are known health reasons why you should be using a lip covering. Lips do not have sebaceous glands which keep skin moisturized. This is why lips can become easily chapped. The outer skin of the lips has a protective coating called the stratum corneum, which is much thinner than it is anywhere else on your body. This skin sheds about every 28 days. Your lips also do not have melanin, the pigment that makes you tan and acts as protection against UV rays. Using an oil-based lubricating cream or balm containing petrolatum or beeswax with sunscreen can protect your lips and act as a buffer from UV rays, drying elements and humidity.

Here are some other helpful hints to protect your lips:

• Use a scarf to cover your lips when it’s cold and dry. (Source: Mayo Clinic)
• Stay hydrated with water and use a humidifier. (Source: Mayo Clinic)
• See a doctor if chapping is severe or doesn’t improve. There could be an underlying problem. (Source: Mayo Clinic)
