Brace yourselves guys, Winter Harmattan is coming and you know what this means, the dreaded chapped lips season will soon be upon us. It is every girl’s nightmare, the moments your lips start to get flaky and then splits into cracks. Not only does it hurt AF, it ruins your beat, you can kiss that flawless lips goodbye as no amount, quality or colour of lipstick, lip stain and cover ups will stop the whole world from noticing your chapped lips. In this case and most, prevention is always better than cure and that’s why you should have armed yourself with the best of lip balms!
Never underestimate the power of lip balms, tinted or sheer, flavored or unflavored as they have really nourishing qualities, very hydrating and so, gets the job done. Personally, I’m partial to the tinted flavored lip balms, I like to think of them as the lovechild of my favorite lipstick and favorite candy bar or fruit. Plus, they can be used in place of lip sticks. More points if they smell nice too! However, for those who prefer a clear “no-lip balm-look”, especially the male folk, resorting to sheer / transparent balms will do the trick.
Remember, it always pays to be prepared especially against this harsh tropical weather. Come Harmattan, expect to find me coating our lips hourly in generous layers of moisturising lip balms. So in the spirit of being well prepared, here are lip balms that work for you to equip your anti-harmattan-chapped- lips arsenal with.
