A Tip from Susan Regarding Lip Balm:
If you?ve ever had the experience of using Burt?s Bee?s Beeswax Lip Balm on irritated/ slightly broken skin you know that it can be screamingly painful (especially to young children). The peppermint oil in it can be very irritating.
The good news is that I saw recently at our local health food store that the same company makes Burt?s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm. It doesn?t contain the peppermint oil and goes on real S-M-O-O-T-H. Even lips and noses that are seeing a lot of Kleenex action ? whether from detox, allergies, or a cold - are happy with this one.
The stick is a pink color, but don?t freak out if you?re a guy. It basically goes on as lip-colored with no excess lipstick look. There is also a slight fruity smell which goes away fairly quickly.
It contains no toxic metals and has tested as non-toxic on patients in my office. Enjoy!
Love,
Susan
P.S. If you are NEEDING lip balm due to chapped lips, remember to drink more water. See a recent health tip about this on my blog.
