The Best Lip Balms That Work


Lip balms and treatments are the cosmetics I cannot live without

Lipstick was the number one staple in my cosmetic routine. I would apply it several times a day, thinking the pop of color gave me life. Today I can go a week without adding any color because a mask usually covers my lips. The reality of wearing a mask is here for a while, so I’ve shifted my lipstick dollars over to nourishing lip balms and lip treatments. Skin experts attest that under lipstick must lay a lip balm to moisturize and soothe dry lips.

 

Let’s start with the splurge…

If I could only have one, it would be By Terry’s Baume de Rose for overall lip care. Rose blossom essential wax and vitamin E ensure lips stay supremely soft and hydrated. You can also use it on your cuticles! $60

 
Make-up is an important tool which can help women boost their confidence, self-image and competency.
