Start with Clean Lips:
Before applying lip balm, make sure your lips are clean and free from any makeup, food, or debris. You can gently wipe them with a clean cloth or tissue if necessary.
Apply Lip Balm:
Stick or Tube: Twist up a small amount of lip balm and gently glide it over your lips. Start from the center and move outward to evenly coat your lips.
Pot or Tin: If your lip balm comes in a pot, use clean fingertips to scoop a small amount. Dab it on your lips and spread evenly.
Focus on Coverage:
Make sure to cover both the upper and lower lips, including the edges where your lips are most prone to drying out and cracking.
Don’t Overdo It:
Apply a thin, even layer. You don’t need too much product—just enough to coat your lips. Excessive layers can feel sticky or greasy.
Reapply as Needed:
Every Few Hours: Reapply lip balm every few hours, especially in dry or windy conditions, or when your lips feel dry.
Before Bed: Applying lip balm before bed helps lock in moisture overnight, preventing dryness while you sleep.
Before Applying Lipstick: Use a light layer of lip balm as a base under lipstick to keep your lips hydrated and help the lipstick go on smoothly.
