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…)

I’ve been searching for some lip products online and offline for the past 4 weeks. There’re indeed a bunch of them, be it lipstick, lip balm, lip gloss, lip treatment essence or whatsoever the name it’s crowned, I like to pick the most reliable and value-for-money products which could be highlighted and shared with you over Lipzing.

I’ve been a guinea pig to ‘experiment’ some of them too. Finally, I come out with a list of them and I’ll post them one by one in future. The list would definitely grow and change with time. Hope you guys stay with me forever

Alright, let’s start with the first product, a balm like product with therapeutic, protection, hydrating and glossing effects. (more…)

Lips portray the healthiness of our body and healthy lips are always smooth, saucy and glossy. Thus, to look good and sexy on your lips, common problems on lips have to be checked. Just go through the list and understand the causes before we select the right remedies to fix it.

1. Dry And Chapped Lips
   Commonly found among people living under dry and humid weather condition or staying long hours in centrally heated or air-conditioned room. Those who suck or lick habitually on their lips are at risk too. According to Dr. Elsenberg of University of Connecticut Health Center,the over-wetting with saliva of the outer lips due to chronic lip licking can actually lead to harmful dryness or even infection of the lips, with peeling, cracking and discomfort. Chapped lips are exposed to the risk of sunburn too.
   Causes: Dry air, humid condition, winter, hot sun, habitual licking and sucking on lips. (more…)
