Let’s see if lip balm can be used on the face? How to apply lip balm on your face and its specific uses.

Can lip balm be applied to the face?

You can use lip balm on your face, but you need to ensure that if you use lip balm on your face, it must be a lip balm that does not contain unsafe preservatives, risky ingredients, and fragrances. Because facial skin is particularly sensitive and easily irritated, you must never use lip balm with a low safety star rating on your face.

How to tell if lip balm is safe to use on your face

1. It does not contain any risky ingredients and will not cause allergic reactions (you can check the specific ingredients of the lip balm on the Beauty Practice WeChat official account);

2. Choose a trustworthy manufacturer and a trustworthy channel to purchase lip balm, preferably a first-line skin care brand, such as Kiehl's, because such manufacturers or channels have a history of operation and the lip balm they produce will be relatively safer.

3. It is best to choose fragrance-free lipstick (such as Mentholatum Natural Plant Lip Balm Unscented, Mentholatum High Moisturizing Lip Balm Unscented), because many fragrances are a combination of daily chemical flavors and fragrances with undisclosed ingredients. The US EWG considers them to be high-risk ingredients and are one of the main allergens in cosmetics (including lipstick and other skin care products).

4. It is best to choose a non-pigmented lipstick, because lipstick can set makeup, moisturize and care for eyelashes when applied on the face. If it is a pigmented lipstick, it will not be very convenient to use on the face.
