Last week I received a gift from Australia. Surprised! I opened it and there was a little bag with the logo of Organic Island printed in gold.  Oh! It’s Organic Island, I’ve been longing for the ’shell’ since I came across the website.

Not only the bag, when I took up the shell,  each Organic Island’s Shell Lip Balm is packaged in real shell, and mine is pink in color, great, it’s one of my favorite colors as you can see the theme of Lipzing which is pink pink.

It’s good to apply natural remedies to treat chapped lips. I’ve introduced honey, Vitamin E, red dates, gouqi, lemon and yogurt as ingredients of red, moist and healthy lips in my previous post. They should help in preventing or soothing dry and chapped lips.

But, there are flaws of home remedies for lip care. Guess what? It takes time to prepare, can’t keep for long and not as portable as commercial lip products. Thus, good quality natural lip balm and lip gloss are the alternatives for home remedies.

When we think about lip balm, Burt’s Bees would come into our mind. Undoubtedly, Burt’s Bees is the household name for lip balm. Would your mom remind you to apply Burt’s Bee when your lips were getting dry? Yes, my mom used to do that.

Burt’s Bees claims that its products are natural. In other words, their products use natural ingredients though there is no legal definition for the term ‘natural’. Burt’s Beens have a wide range of lip care products, people with chapped lips should go for Medicated Lip Balm for treatment and non-flavored Beewax Lip Balm for daily protection.

I emphasize on non-flavored balm as to avoid licking on your lips. If you put on strawberry, honey, mint or any other flavored balms, you would be tempted to lick and eat it, right? :) Our saliva tends to evaporate easily and the lips would become drier. (more…)

Dry and chapped lips are quite common in cold and dry countries. Besides using lip balm to lock the moisture of lips, have you ever considered to pamper your lips with a cooling yogurt mask?

As we know yogurt is as nutritious as skim milk as it contains protein, calcium, magnesium, vitamin B besides its active culture. Your drying lip cells crave for these nutritions. You wouldn’t know how it does wonder to your lips until you see the result with your own eyes.

Just follow the steps below:

1. Mix 1 tbsp of yogurt with 3 drops of lemon juice.

2. Refrigerate it for 15 mins.

3. Take it out and apply on your lips with cotton bud.

4. Cover your lips with cling wrap, leave it for 15 mins.

5. Unwrap and wash your lips with warm water.

6. Lastly, apply lip balm on your lips.

Take a peek on your revitalized fine and smooth lips.

This lip care natural remedy is especially useful to clear dry chapped lips. Stand the cooling sensation on your lips and do it on a regular basis. Well, the problems of dryness, peeling and chapping on lips should be able to leave you soon.

Again, consistency is a must on the application of natural remedy. Severe case of dry chapped lips however should seek specialist’s advice before applying any natural remedy.

To your healthy and kissable lips,

Zing
