When honeybees want to tell each other something—to show the location of food or a great new place to live—they perform a waggle dance.

Today, as we slowly but surely say goodbye to COVID,  Burt’s Bees would like to “waggle dance” some secret insights on lip care to you!

Why Should You Take Care of Your Lips?

Lips don’t contain oil glands like other parts of the skin. This means lips are more susceptible to drying out and becoming chapped (cracked). Lack of moisture can make the problem worse, especially since we’re having less and less time wearing masks now.

How to Treat and Prevent Chapped Lips?

The first step in treating and preventing chapped lips is to make sure that your lips have enough moisture. So it’s important to layer on lip balm or lip butter throughout the day. Natural waxes and oils condition lips, and ingredients like Beeswax create a physical layer over your skin to lock in moisture.

Sun exposure can also cause chapped lips, especially as you age. Apply a lip balm that contains SPF before heading outdoors. The balm helps to moisturize the lips and the sunscreen minimizes further drying effects.

At the same time, remember not to lick your lips! Each time you lick your lips, it can dry them out more. You also could develop a rash around your mouth called lip licker’s dermatitis. It’s best to use a lip balm instead.

Why Burt’s Bees’ Lip Balm Is Your No.1 Choice?

Made with All-Natural Ingredients

The Burt’s Bees balm is primarily made with beeswax, vitamin E, and peppermint oil. The moisturizing lip balms contain sustainably sourced beeswax — a natural source of vitamin A (retinol) and an anti-inflammatory — and antioxidant vitamin E to moisturize and soften lips.
