What Can Lip Balm Be Used For?

Obviously, your lip balm works great to keep your lips hydrated and smooth, but did you know that little tube or pot is also multifunctional? Here are some of our favorite lip balm hacks.

Cuticle Relaxer

We've all been there. You glance down at your cuticles and realize they're a little rough and there's no cuticle oil in sight. The ingredients in your lip balm will soften the skin of your cuticles making them easy to remove, or simply keeping them less visible until you can get to the salon.

Makeup Remover

Depending on the ingredients of your lip balm, you can use it in a pinch to remove stubborn makeup like eye color and mascara. The waxy ingredient in your lip balm (for instance, coconut oil) can help break down your makeup ingredients and allow them to slide off easily with a tissue.

Hand Lotion

If you find yourself with dry hands and no hand lotion, grab your lip balm and apply a dab to the fronts and backs of your hands. Gently massage the balm into your hands to bring relief.

Brow Gel

Frustrated by unruly brows and fresh out of brow gel? You can use a bit of your lip balm to help tame unruly brows and keep them in place. Lip balm will also nourish your brows and give a healthy sheen to them!

Flyaway Tamer

Nothing ruins your date night look quite like flyaway hairs. If your mid-date trip to the restroom revealed a few frizzies, smooth a little lip balm on them to keep them under control.
