Hi Guys,
I know it's been a while since I have done one of my Skin Secrets posts, but I've just been super busy! I have chosen this week to show you one of my favourite products I can not live without!
If you watch my youtube videos, you will know exactly which product I am about to talk about, to create my super soft lips.
The product which I am talking about is the Carmex Lip Balm Tubes. These retail for only £1.65!
Not only are these lip balms the best I have tried - plus my holy grail lip balm - they are also super affordable and smell absolutely stunning!
For the past year, I have been using the Cherry flavour, but wanted to change it up a little, once the smell was getting a little too strong for me, so I decided to try the Strawberry. When I had first started using the Strawberry, I was a little unsure about if it was making my lips feel as soft, as my lips weren't tingling - which is what they did with the Cherry version.
But, since I have been using the Strawberry for the past month, I have to say that this is by far my favourite out of the bunch!
A great thing about this lip balm is that it contains SPF15! So, even whilst it is super hot outside, your lips will not burn or crack, and you don't need to pop an SPF lip balm or suncream on your lips, as this lip balm has it covered.
Another great aspect of this product, is that you can really feel and see it working. Once I have applied the lip balm, I can smell it straight away - which I love - and it gradually starts to tingle. It's not to the point where it feel like a burning sensation, or like plumping lip gloss - remember those days?. But it feels sort of like a relaxing sensation. Am I strange?
The thing which made me realise that it was absolutely perfect, was that it is the only lip balm I have used, which can keep up with my chapped lips. If my lips are severely chapped, I just pop this baby on several times a day, and within 2 days, I literally have no dry skin left! My lips get to the point of going numb and feeling as though I have granules of sugar in my lips because of how dry they are, and this literally makes them feel 'baby smooth'.
I did try another lip balm last year, as I purchased quite a few EOS balms as there was a giant hype going around youtube and with celebrities at the time, I decided to stop using Carmex, and switch over to EOS. Big Mistake! They dried out my lips more, and my lips were super numb after a couple of days. Thank goodness I had my Carmex on hand, because they changed my lips back to normal within a couple of days.
So, if you suffer with super chapped lips, or love fragranced lip balms, I would definitely suggest that you try Carmex out! They are super affordable, and are the best around!
