Lip Tips

Tip 1:

Use Lip Care Daily. Use a lip care product as part of a daily regimen to moisturize your lips and maintain their healthy condition.
A lip treatment, such as Blistex DCT (Daily Conditioning Treatment for Lips), containing the natural moisturizers cocoa butter and aloe vera is an effective combination. For a medicated alternative try Blistex Medicated Lip Balm. Daily treatment of the lips helps maintain a smooth feel and appearance.

Tip 2:

Use Lip Care Before Exposure to Dry Environment.
Whenever you are exposed to especially drying conditions, whether due to harsh outdoor elements or a dry indoor environment, use a lip care product that seals in natural moisture and seals out the drying forces. Recommended products, like Blistex Medicated Lip Balm, Blistex Complete Moisture, and Blistex DCT (Daily Conditioning Treatment) combine a number of protectants to defend your
lips effectively.

Tip 3:

Use Lip Care Before Exposure to Sun.
Any time of the year that you are exposed to the always harmful rays of the sun, use a product with an adequate SPF (Sun Protection Factor). Beyond the sun's well-known skin damage impact, exposure to the sun is also a trigger for cold sores/fever blisters for those who are susceptible. An SPF number indicates how many times longer a person can stay in the sun before beginning to burn. For some sensitive-skinned people, it is best to avoid products containing PABA, which can cause allergic reactions. Try any of the Blistex products with sunscreen including Blistex Silk & Shine and Complete Moisture.

Tip 4:

Treat Sore or Already Chapped Lips With A Medicated Lip Care Product.
If dryness, cracking or soreness of the lip has already developed, it is especially important to use a medicated product to provide relief. A product with a penetrating analgesic can soothe the lips quickly and effectively. Blistex Lip Ointment delivers penetrating medication, and is the only lip ointment that contains moisture. Also for sore lips, Blistex Lip Medex provides ultra-cooling relief.

Tip 5:

Use Lip Care Under or Even Instead of Lipstick.
Use a lip care product like Blistex Medicated Lip Balm or Blistex Lip Ointment, before applying lipstick. This helps color go on more evenly for a smoother look. Or, if you want a break from lipstick altogether, Blistex Lip Tone gives you a soothing lip balm that also enhances your lips' natural color.

Tip 6:

Use A Lip Care Product With Age Defying Ingredients For Smoother, Younger Looking Lips.
Choosing a lip balm with ingredients specifically designed to combat the effects of aging is another option to ensure the health and beauty of your lips. Blistex Deep Renewal with Q10 and a vitamin-collagen anti-oxidant complex, is clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles on your lips, within 4 weeks.
