Here are some general guidelines for how often to apply lip balm:
- Dry or chapped lips: Apply oem lip balm 2-3 times per day, or more as needed. Apply after showering, before going to bed, and anytime your lips feel dry or cracked.
- Normal, non-chapped lips: Apply lip balm 1-2 times per day as desired, such as in the morning and before bed.
- Before and after being out in the elements: Apply lip balm before going outside in dry, cold, or windy weather, and again after coming back inside to rehydrate the lips.
- After eating or drinking: Reapply lip balm after meals, as eating and drinking can remove or absorb the balm.
- As part of your regular skincare routine: Many people find it helpful to get in the habit of applying lip balm at the same time as other daily skincare steps.
The key is to listen to your lips and apply balm whenever they start to feel dry or chapped. Consistent, frequent application is usually better than sporadic, occasional use for keeping lips healthy and hydrated.
