Natural Lip Balm Vs The other type
Lip balm has been around for over 100 years. But it took the wrong turn right from the start. The inventor lip balm, Dr. CD Fleet, started an unfortunate trend by using petroleum jelly in his chapter balm lipstick, and only become clear in recent years, oil alone is ineffective as a jelly lip balm. At best, since petroleum jelly is not absorbed through the skin, provides only a short term solution for dry, cracked lips. And since it keeps the skin from breathing, can – if used frequently – actually make your lips more dry. If you are looking for a lip balm can actually heal chapped lips lip balm should be considered made with shea butter. Shea butter effect on the skin is different from that of petroleum jelly. Rather than inert on the surface of the lips, is absorbed by the skin cells. Since improves retention moisture of the lips, dry cracked lips much less frequently.
Why Shea Butter Lip Balm Works
In adulthood, all our skin cells – even on our lips – begin to be more porous and less elastic. If the substance shea butter – both hydrates the skin and elasticity to the skin cells’ – applies to his lips, then not only are the cells hydrated, but gradually regain their natural elasticity so that more able to prevent moisture from escaping. Due to the unrefined shea butter contains a moisturizing fraction and an extraordinarily high healing fraction is a wonderful agent for revitalizing our skin cells to regain their ability to retain moisture.
Why oil-based Lip Balm does not work
A petroleum-based lip balm is not designed to solve the problem that causes dry chapped lips. Instead, it acts primarily as a band-aid – slightly moisturizing the surface of the lips and trapping the moisture there, thus temporarily making the lips less dry. But to keep your mouth moist using petroleum lip balm, you need to frequently reapply the lip balm. Well you might as well just lick your lips of all time – which has the same temporary effect, it is much cheaper, and not run the risk that bacteria trapped between the lip balm and skin fat, causing further irritation and even infection.
Causes of chapped lips
Chapped lips are, of course, the result of our lips is too dry. Everyone experiences dry chapped lips at one time or another, but some of us have a serious and chronic problem. The explanation for severe dry lips and chronic is that our skin has lost its ability to retain moisture. As a consequence, our lips cracked easily. The cracks further reduces the capacity moisture retention and the results of this vicious circle in the problem becoming chronic and increasingly severe. Whether you have only occasional cracks or chronic and severe cracking, lip balm shea butter is a good option as one which improves the retention of skin moisture.
