Tales from a Lip Balm Queen 👑

Other than my hand sanitiser, my lip balm is my most used product. My loyal lip balms go everywhere with me; I have one in my bag, car and bedside table.

I even once tried to revive one in the freezer (p.s it didn't work :().

I'm 35 years old, I spent my entire childhood in the strong Aotearoa sun and during a time where sunblock was second to a 'protective' tan. My skin has been regenerating for quite a while and since the age of 25, it began to thin and lose its elasticity. I've...

Essentially the little protective barrier soldiers on my skin don't know the difference between safe substances and unsafe ones. My skin can develop itchy hives after...
