Lip Balm Addiction

Could you actually get hooked on lip balm? Yes!

Go easy on that lip balm – it could be habit forming. According to Perry Romanowski, author of “The Beauty Brains,” the lower layers of your skin produce the fresh new cells. When we’ve got lip balm on there that interferes with the whole process – and sends a signal to those cells to stop producing. When the balm wears off – the lips are dry again – and a lot of people just smear some more on before those cells have a chance to regenerate on their own.

It’s important to protect those fragile lips out in the elements – but be sure to give them a chance to pucker back up on their own – and don’t wear lip balm to bed.
