Be careful! Some Lip Balm Ingredients Actually Make Lips Dry

Dream - Dry lips are often experienced by some people. Finally, many people try various types of lip balm to make their lips moist again and not cracked.

"Unfortunately, not all lip balms can make your lips moist. Some of them actually make your lips drier, cracked, and even bleeding."

The following can be caused by the wrong content of lip balm and not suitable for your lip condition. Sahabat Dream can avoid the following contents to keep the lips moisturized when using lip balm.

"Sensitive Material"

Some lip balms have cooling and exfoliating ingredients that can make dry lips. Dermatologist, Hadley King does not recommend the use of lip balms that contain menthol, camphor, or phenol.

The content of the lip balm that provides a cool and soothing sensation can actually cause the moisture on the lips to evaporate faster. As a result, the skin of the lips becomes cracked.

The exfoliating content also makes the lips sensitive and irritated, especially if used too often.

Same goes for essential oil content like wood oil. Although this formula can stimulate blood vessels dilation and make lips appear thicker, it can actually cause irritation on the lip area. Therefore, it is better to use a lip balm with hyaluronic acid content if you want to make your lips thicker.

"Contains Humectants"

Humectants like hyaluronic acid and glycerin can make lips more moisturized and plump, but it turns out they can make your lips dry if they don't have other mixtures. If the air humidity is low, humectants draw moisture from the skin and eventually make your lips dry.

Contains Mineral Oil

Mineral oil is an occlusive commonly found in lip balm. This ingredient functions to form a protective layer on the skin and helps to lock in moisture within it.

Although the mineral oil used in skincare products already meets certain standards, there are concerns regarding its origin from the petrochemical industry and its potential negative impact on the environment. Additionally, it has been found that the size of mineral oil molecules is very large, making it unable to penetrate the skin layers.

Then, what should be done?

If you want lip balm to provide maximum effect, make sure the lip product contains ingredients such as humectants, emollients, and occlusives at the same time.

The content can attract water and protect the skin's surface, thus maintaining lip moisture. Dermatologists recommend using lip balm that contains antioxidants such as moringa seed oil, shea butter, and others.
