Have you ever heard a rumor that lip balm actually makes your lips drier? They say that regularly applying lip balm to your lips will make them lose their natural moisture. Responding to this rumor, Dr. Piliang, an American Skin Expert, gave his opinion. "This is just a myth," he said.

"Lip balm is actually relatively safe if it does not contain certain ingredients that strip away the natural moisture of your lips. 'Lip balm that contains ingredients such as phenol, menthol, and salicylic acid indeed make the lips drier,' said Dr. Piliang."

If your lip balm product contains phenol, menthol, and salicylic acid, usually your lips will feel tingling when the lip balm is applied to the lips. Lip balms that contain those ingredients can remove the outer layer of the skin and cause lip irritation. If this continues, then the natural protection of the lips will gradually erode. In the end, Sahabat Dream will actually have to use more lip care products to prevent damage to the lips.

To choose a good lip balm, there are actually only two things that Sahabat Dream needs to pay attention to. First, choose a lip balm product made from natural oils that can maintain lip moisture. Second, Sahabat Dream is advised to choose a lip balm with SPF 30 content to avoid exposure to UV rays. Report: Salma Rihhadatul Aisy/ Source: Health Clevelandclinic.
