Have you ever checked the ingredients on your lip balm? Ryan Seacrest shared on-air these three common ingredients are actually worse for your lips.
Some lip balms contain exfoliators that temporarily soothe irritation but strip the outer layers of the skin, making it susceptible to dehydration, redness, and burning.
Beware of these ingredients:
MENTHOL, SALICYLIC ACID or PHENOL.
For a lip balm to truly hydrate, look for beeswax, coconut oil, shea butter, and mineral oil instead!
