Why do drugstore lip balms feel like they make dryness worse over time?
I felt like I was completely addicted to applying my cheap drugstore lip balm every 20 minutes. My lips constantly felt tight and irritated if I didn't have a tube in my hand. A friend told me that mineral oils and artificial scents can cause low-grade chronic irritation, forcing your skin to rely on constant reapplication. Has anyone noticed a real difference after switching to plant-based balms?
