You already know you’re supposed to wear sunscreen every day. And even if you’re not applying it separately, many cosmetic companies are adding it to your foundation and moisturizer, making it much easier to work sunscreen into your routine.
But what about sunburned lips? Is sunscreen for lips really necessary or can our lips handle sun exposure better than the rest of our skin?
Can Lips Really Get Sunburned?
Lips seem to behave a little different...
Are your cosmetics bothering your sensitive skin? Maybe your eyes have started itching or you’ve noticed a burning sensation on your face. Maybe your skin feels perpetually dry.
Could the products you’re using to “help” your skin actually be making it worse?
Absolutely.

Rosacea can be frustrating and embarrassing. You wake up with a fresh complexion, thinking today will be a good day for your skin. But then you step outside, only to realize your skin is cherry red once again.
Or maybe your face turns red for seemingly any reason – and stays that way for far too long. It seems even the smallest trigger makes your skin flush deeply and there’s no way to hide it.
Once diagnosed, many people are further frustrat...
You’ve got an itch to scratch. Literally.
It didn’t seem like a problem at first… and then it got worse. Maybe your foot started itching a few days ago and now it’s a red, scaly mess. Maybe you had a little spot on your calf that’s now spreading around your leg.
Sounds like a fungal infection.

Zits always seem to appear when you need them the least. It’s the day before prom, graduation, a banquet, or… worse.. your wedding! What should you do?

Are you addicted to your lip balm?
Some of us feel like lip balm is a habit we can’t quit. We put it on every few minutes or at the slightest feeling of lip discomfort. If we leave for the day and realize we don’t have it with us, we make an emergency drugstore stop to pick some up.
Sometimes we apply chapstick without even knowing we’re doing it. We find ourselves putting it on our lips and think, “Did I just get this out?”

Embarrassed by your lip lines? You’re not alone.
Fine lines around the mouth are not only a telltale sign of aging, they’re also a sign of bad habits like smoking and tanning. And if you’re left with these unsightly wrinkles around your mouth, you’re probably a bit embarrassed about what caused them.
The best way to prevent more lip lines is obvious: stop those habits. But what about existing damage? Is there any treatment that will get rid...

The more something costs, the better it is, right?
We often feel like a higher price tag means higher quality, but that’s not always true. Most expensive does NOT equal most effective.
In the cosmetic world, it’s easy to believe the more a product costs, the better it’ll be. But price isn’t what determines how good or effective a product is. The most expensive products aren’t always best for your skin. And even if it is a wonderful product, ...
