Skincare for lips.  One word, Chapstick®.

Chapstick® is one of those products we have spread all over our house. In our kitchen drawers, in our bathrooms, in my purse, the glove box of my car, and my kids carry them in their backpacks.  Literally, Chapstick® everywhere.  It is the one product that I seriously do not go to bed without wearing.  I cannot fall asleep until my lips have been slathered in it.

Whenever I need lip hydration, I don’t say, “I need a lip balm,” I say, “I need some Chapstick®!”

There is a Chapstick® for everyone.

I got lucky enough to receive a range of these lip lovelies from the classics (the well known black tube and fruit flavors like cherry) to the newest flavors like spearmint and coconut!  Needless to say, my kids had a ball with trying every single one of them until we all chose our faves and squirreled them away so no one could steal them.  There is a scent and formula for every need and want!

 One of my favorite Chapstick® hacks :  Create your own colored lip balm!

One of the newer formulas I loved was the sun defense that contained SPF 25.  So often we add moisturizers and foundations that contain sunscreen to our faces everyday, even in the winter, but forget that our lips are also prone to sunburn.  Don’t leave them out!

Seeing as though I love love to wear brighter colored lip looks, and I can’t stand to apply them on dry chapped/burned lips (looks so yuck!) an added SPF in my lip products are so useful.

So I decided to pair one of my hot pink lip pencils with this formula to give me a hint of color along with the sun protection.  Apply an initial coat of your fave Chapstick®, then outline and fill in your lip (glides on so smooth!), and finish with another coat of balm on top. Muah!!!

This method gives just the right amount of color and I made my own tinted lip balm!!  To see more on the varied line of Chapsticks® you can visit their website, Chapstick.com.
