Can you use your hands to pick up Vaseline lip balm? Can you eat lip balm?

Many people have been using Vaseline skin care products, which cover many types of skin care products. So can you remove Vaseline lip balm with your hands? Don’t be impatient, let’s take a closer look at Vaseline lip balm.

Lip balm with hands?

Can't pick it with your hands. Picking the lip balm with your hands will cause it to be contaminated, but in fact, when we dip our fingers into the lip balm, the bacteria on our fingers will be brought to the lips, causing the lips to become drier. The correct way should be to use a clean cotton swab to dip lipstick and apply it on your lips. This way the lip balm in the bottle won't get contaminated.

Does color-changing lip balm need to be removed?

Color-changing lipstick is also called "two-tone lipstick". Its colorant is "red bromate" dye, which will show different colors in different acid and alkali environments. However, we have not found any data proving that "red bromate" will not cause pigmentation, so if you are worried, it is best to remove it. When removing makeup, it is best to use a special eye and lip makeup remover, pour it onto a cotton pad and apply it on the lips, leave it on for a while, then gently wipe it up and down along the lip lines, and do not pull it left and right repeatedly.

Can I eat lip balm?

It is harmless to consume in small amounts. The main ingredients of most lip balms are vaseline, beeswax, synthetic animal and plant oils, and some antioxidants such as vitamins A and E. Some also have SPF sun protection function. If it has color, then pigment has been added. Lip balm is not food, so of course it cannot be eaten. But because it is made of natural and harmless substances, a gentle lick or ingestion of a small amount generally does not cause much harm to the body.

How to Prevent Chapped Lips

Drink plenty of water to relieve dry lips. This is the best way, but don't drink carbonated drinks, but drink more boiled water and milk. When the body is well hydrated, the lips will be moisturized. Wear a mask when going out to block the biting cold wind outdoors. Although wearing a mask is simple, it can effectively keep your lips moist to prevent them from drying out due to lack of water.
