Many Lip Balms Keep You Chapped
Have you ever applied lip balm and still felt chapped later? That’s because many lip balms make you feel dryer. Dermatologist Leslie Baumann says that humectants, such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, actually remove moisture from your lips.
When the balm evaporates, your lips have less moisture than they did before. Dermatologists recommend getting a balm with SPF and staying hydrated. If your chapstick isn’t working, buy a doctor-approved brand such as Burt’s Bees or Vaseline.
