I use this tip when in a public waiting area where magazines are available. Instead of worrying about germs from licking your finger when you turn the page (admit it, we have all done it), I carry a cheap lip balm. A little dab and no more stuck pages or someone else's germs!

Tip: Check the Ingredients in Your Lip Balm

March 27, 20080 found this helpful

I have always been a frequent user of lip balm. In fact I used it day in and day out. I was concerned that it was becoming a bad habit not to mention the amount of money I was spending on all different types of lip balms. I had a used lip balm in every purse and drawer in the house.

I did some online research and thought I would share it with you. Many of the lip balms I have been using contain fragrances and preservatives that can actually cause dryness. I found that a very interesting tidbit! Also the flavored tasted fairly good thus causing me to lick it off and then apply more often then needed.

I am now reading the labels on the lip balm packages and buying the least expensive without all the flavors and fancy packaging. This is not only saving me money but I have honestly found my lips are not as dry and I am using the lip balm much less.
