OSHA Naturals Vanilla Lip Balm
Lips are unique, they define your face. Adopt a good lip care regime and you will see the difference it makes to your appearance.
I am not (never have been) a big fan of products for the lips. When that rare blue moon shines, you'll spot me wearing a lipstick and/or lip gloss. On a lovely Sunday morning, as I was savouring my hot cup of filter coffee, the tabloid announced the need to care for lips. Here is a piece of information that caught my attention. 'The presence of oil/sweat glands in our skin helps in keeping it moisturised. Unfortunately, lips do not have oil/sweat glands. This means that lips are susceptible to becoming dry often. Also, they are exposed to dirt, pollution, the sun and other damage causing elements.' Some Googling followed and I realised that action was due. I conceded and made some impulse purchases - lip balms, like a lot of them. Over a short period of time, lip balms of different brands had taken up three-fourth of the space in my vanity pouch. In spite of the abundance of choice - colours, flavours, textures etc. I was not successful in making lip balm a part of my skincare routine. This wasn't due to lack of discipline. It was because I hadn't come across a product that I was happy to let linger on my lips. Something was not working for me - the scent would be too strong, some balms would leave a thin white lining over my lips like I just kissed some flour and at times the minty flavour would make my lips burn. This whole business left a bad taste in my mouth - literally. I decided to try organic products. I have discovered a lot of simple, handmade, small-batch, purely organic brands. This has got to be the happiest phase of my skincare. I am absolutely thrilled and ready to experiment (after my due diligence of course) with different organic skin and haircare products; I know they will not wreak one-tenth havoc as do the commercial detergents that are a sorry excuse for cleansers, soaps and what not! It is on one such organic journey that I stumbled upon OSHA Naturals. You can learn all about the OSHA Lip Balm in this post. But before we proceed,
How to care for lips?
Drink plenty of water.
Invest in good, preferably organic lip scrub and lip balm and use these regularly.
Do not lick your lips. Use the lip balm instead. You can use it as frequently as you want.
UV rays can damage to your lips. Use products with sunscreen, protect your lips from the sun.

PRODUCT
I have been using the OSHA Naturals Lip Balm for close to a month. My lips are quite dry so I apply this lip balm around 5 times a day. My lips have become much softer after regular use.
What I like most about this product is its consistency. It is not waxy but a touch oily and spreads beautifully making it easy to apply even on dry/chapped lips. It is quickly absorbed thereby providing instant hydration. With a mild vanilla scent, it stays on for about 3 hours.
