6 Great Lip Balm Benefits and Uses to Try

By mgarcia

Most of us own a lip balm. It doesn’t matter if you’re going to parties, work, or just hanging out with friends. You can always use a lip balm to maintain supple and moisturized lips. A lip balm is very useful, even when you’re at home. But did you know that aside from all the lip balm benefits that we know, there are many other uses for it?

We’ve compiled six amazing ways you can use your lip balms.

6 great lip balm benefits and uses to try

The wonders of lip balms

What is lip balm and why is it so loved by many? A lip balm has a wax-like texture. It’s applied topically too of course, to your lips. It keeps it moisturized.

There are also medicated lip balms that cater to people who have sensitive lips or skin conditions.

You can actually make your own lip balm and infuse the ingredients that you want and like. You can put essential oils, organic coloring agents, scents, and so much more.

Remove a stuck ring

Is your ring stuck on your finger? And the dental floss is not working? No problem!

Just get any types of chapstick you have and use them. Apply generously on the edges and now watch that ring slip off your finger.

Tame the frizz

Don’t you just hate it when you do everything to take care of your hair and the frizz just won’t go away? It could be so annoying, right?

So you apply so many hair products to tame that frizz and, in effect, damage your hair in the process? There’s a simple solution. Use your lip balm.

Just apply a clear lip balm on the frizz and watch it tame down.

You can also use it on your eyebrows in between waxing appointments. Keep it all in one place and in one direction with a touch of lip balm.

Protect blisters

Blisters on the feet are so painful. Most of the time, blisters appear on the feet because we push our feet to walk more than usual in our shoes, or we’re wearing new shoes.

Don’t let yourself be hurt like this again. The solution is already in your bag!

If you’re pushing yourself to walk more and you already know where the blisters will appear, apply lip balm on the area liberally.

And if you’re breaking in new shoes, find the places where your shoe will rub against your skin and form blisters. Apply lip balm liberally on that area, too.

Lip balm benefits for sore nose

It happens. We understand.

A sore nose can happen when there’s a change of weather or we get caught in the rain or snow or very cold temperatures. We’ll catch a cold and sneeze for days.

Our poor noses!

All that sneezing and blowing takes a toll on our nose and it gets more raw and sore every time we do this.

And, just like with our chapped lips, we can use vegan lip balm on our chapped noses to protect them and lessen the pain. It’s totally safe and it works.

Keep shoelaces tied

Getting frustrated with your shoelaces getting untied? Did you know that if you apply lip balm on the ribbon as soon as you’ve finished tying it up, it can be secured?

Don’t forget to double-knot the laces before you apply the lip balm. But, you may ask, how does this work?

When you walk, the balm will make the laces pull against each other and tighten the laces even more.

Removing it won’t be a problem with your hands. But at least now, you don’t need to worry about the laces getting untied every time you move.

Stuck window

Do you have a window in your home that you can’t open because it’s stuck? Here’s a quick solution. Apply as much lip balm as you can on the window track.

It would be best if you have a large chapstick for this hack. Once you are done, use all your muscle power to pull it up open.

In a Nutshell

Who would have thought that there could be so many lip balm benefits?

Now, we know that lip balms are not only for our lips but for other things as well. So, never forget to bring one with you.
