During the long winter, do you often feel that your lips are dry and flaky? Even when you are bored, you can’t help but tear them off to enjoy the fatal sourness~. In this article we will study ,How to choose between lipstick, lip oil, lip lotion and lip cream?
Stop! Stop your restless little hands! What needs to be emphasized here is that never peel off the peeling lips! Because this is very likely to tear the lips and even cause cheilitis!
1. Lip first aid method
If we are about to go to a hot pot restaurant, how should we save our dry and flaky lips? Quickly memorize these three tips!
1. Don’t tear off: Do not tear off the dead skin that has fallen off. As long as you apply enough lip balm and vegetable oil, it can become soft and transparent again, and stick to the lips to continue to play a protective role until it falls off naturally. Tearing it off will generally cause blood vessels to rupture and damage the dermis, which cannot heal for a long time.
2. Licking less: Dry lips will make people lick them unconsciously. Try to reduce the number of times you do this. This will not improve the condition of your lips, but will cause damage due to constant licking. Take control and apply a nourishing lip product instead.
3. Make lip mask: You can mix honey and VE to make lip mask. Mix the two evenly and apply it on the lips; you can also cover it with plastic wrap, take it off after about 10 minutes, and then apply lip balm or vegetable oil.
Another method is to apply VE first and then a layer of medical Vaseline, which can be done overnight. These methods can significantly improve dryness and cracking.
Based on the above three tips, lip care cannot be separated from daily easy-to-carry lip care products. So how should we choose lipstick, lip oil, lip milk, and lip cream?
2. The difference between lipstick, lip oil, lip cream and lip cream
In terms of form, lipstick is a solid mixture of oil and wax ( which is why it can be made into a fixed shape and has strong sealing properties), while lip oil is a fluid or semi-fluid grease (essentially a liquid).
Lip cream and lip cream are essentially the same thing – a mixture of water and oil, so in addition to oil, they also contain some water-soluble ingredients.
In terms of efficacy, lipsticks and lip oils do not contain water, so they are more moisturizing . In addition, lipstick can also be color, which will make it more durable. Lip milk & lip cream have no sticking properties.
But precisely because water and oil are mix together, in addition to adding oil-soluble functional ingredients, lip lotions and creams can also add many water-soluble antioxidant, moisturizing, moisturizing and other ingredients.
In theory, this type of dosage form is more flexible and can have more comprehensive functions.
Reading notes
① Lip balm: strong sealing property, does not contain water, can be colored, and has high moisturizing degree
② Lip oil: has strong fluidity, does not contain water, has high moisturizing degree and may be displaced
③ Lip lotion & lip cream: essentially the same, Water-oil mixture, the function can be more comprehensive, the fixation is poor, and it cannot be colored
For most people, if you don’t have color or have very strong fixation needs, I recommend choosing lip lotion and lip cream , which are easy to carry and reapply, and there will be no oily appearance around the mouth after application. The phenomenon of displacement.
This is the case with lip oil, because it has a certain fluidity, but it doesn’t matter, anyway, the lip area can also be moisturize.
Finally, let us summarize. The difference between the four is mainly due to the experience of using raw materials and some differences in functional characteristics. Of course, what they have in common is that they moisturize and repair lips.
Regarding lip protection products, I actually think there are many points that are worthy of attention and research. For example, we sometimes find that applying lipstick is obviously to moisturize the lips, but in the end, it causes the lips to peel faster. .
Issues like these are the directions that should be studied in the future, but unfortunately, no one has studied them so far.
Although the current cosmetics market is a very involve market, if we deeply understand everyone’s pain points, we will find that there is actually a lot of room for innovation, which is the so-called blue ocean. These blue oceans will belong to those who conduct in-depth technical research.
Let us look forward to the future of lip care products with more powerful functions, better moisturizing properties, and without those negative effects!
