Lip balm

Herbal Lip Balm is a care product with herbal ingredients that helps preserve the moisture of the lips. The skin of the lips is one of the thinnest areas on the body and contains no oil glands; it therefore dries out faster than other areas and calls for regular care.

When to use it

• In winter and in windy weather — the period when lips are under the most strain.
• At night — a balm applied before sleep leaves the lips feeling softer in the morning.
• Before lipstick — it creates a smooth base and helps lipstick sit more evenly. Wait a few minutes after applying it.
• In air-conditioned and centrally heated spaces — dry air draws moisture out of the lips quickly.

A practical note on dry lips

Wetting the lips gives temporary relief, but as saliva evaporates it takes moisture with it, so the feeling of dryness increases shortly afterwards. Using a balm instead is the better approach. Rather than pulling at flaking skin on the lips, a gentle lip scrub once a week is the way to go.

This is a cosmetic care product; it is not a medicinal product. If there are persistent cracks or sores on the lips, consult a healthcare professional.
