I have a bad habit of unconsciously biting my lips, so they bleed and peel all year round. I had given up on the sweet, fruit-scented lip balms sold in drugstores because they only felt moisturizing for a brief moment when applied, and my lips felt even drier after a while. Then, I stopped by a pharmacy recently and bought a fragrance-free lip balm with simple ingredients, and I’ve completely settled on this one. If I apply a very thick layer right up to my lip line before bed, the old dead skin cells softened by water slough off like dirt without irritation when I wash my face the next morning. It also eliminates creasing when I apply matte tint, and my lips look incredibly plump and bouncy. I guess basic, unscented, colorless products are the best after all.
