Why These Lip Balms Work
- Coconut oil works great as a natural moisturizer. Your lips become supple and smooth as the oil retains the moisture. By creating a lipid layer on the skin, the oil lessens the evaporation of water and prevents dryness.
- Because coconut oil has SPF (Sun Protection Factor) properties, it acts as a natural sunscreen to shield your lips’ sensitive skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
- Because of its antibacterial properties, the oil keeps bacteria and other germs from growing on split lips.
- It reduces inflammation to soothe your skin and heal cracked lips. It also helps produce collagen, which helps to repair damaged lips and skin.
