One of the products I always carry with me is a good lip balm. At the moment, my fave is NIVEA, "A Kiss of Rejuvenation." I bought this product on a whim during a trip to the grocery store. My eight-year-old daughter was talking my ear off and my one-year-old son was getting cranky in the cart and, well...Mommy needed a little motivation to shop on! I'm so glad I bought this product! Immediately upon application, my lips felt a smoothness and an instant shot of moisture all at once. Usually, these balms feel pretty waxy, but this one glides on and stays slippery smooth. The product contains a penetration enhancer called, Octinoxate, which helps the effects of application last long after its faded away. And the product contains Q10 which helps to combat free radicals, one of the causes of aging. It works so well on my chapped kissers that my husband even borrows mine from time to time, when his lips are feeling extra crispy!
Cons to Consider: This product has a strange taste, almost like licking lotion, that seems to linger as long as you're wearing it. It also comes in a squeeze tube instead of a handier stick.
Dry Lip Tip: Those of us with chronically dry lips need to make lip service a nightly routine. Beauty editor and author, Nada Manley, offers this advice, "I apply right after I brush my teeth. Make sure [...] lips are dry first, or balm won't go on smoothly and chapped lips will get worse, not better."
