5 Unique Uses for Natural Lip Balm

ByUtama Spice

Lip balm is a staple in purses and pockets everywhere. Natural lip balm helps to soothe, comfort and replenish the delicate skin of the lips, skin that we rely on so often throughout the day and often give little thought to until we’re facing damage.

But did you know that there are plenty more uses for your favorite tubes of lip balm? Here are 5 novel uses:

Give dull skin some shine

If your skin is feeling dull and lifeless after a long day, you may have the fix right in your purse already. Dabbing a little bit of lip balm along the cheekbones works similarly to a highlighter, but it provides you with a natural dewy glow that is built to last.

Minimize fine lines around the eye

As long as you’re not using a minty balm, which can irritate the eyes, you can dab a little bit of lip balm around the eye to minimize fine lines and provide protection and moisture all in one simple step.

Relief during a cold

When you have a cold, and you’re repeatedly blowing your nose, you may find that the skin under your nose and on the sides takes a real beating. This dry and chapped area can be uncomfortable and painful, and your best defense could be your favorite tube of lip balm. With clean hands, use your fingertips to apply the product in small dabs on the dry and irritated area.

Cuticle moisturizer

Your favorite natural lip balm can also help to give your manicure some serious staying power. Before bed, take a natural lip balm and apply to the cuticle areas around the nail. When you wake in the morning, you’ll be left with refreshed and healthy cuticles.

Tame eyebrows

Left your favorite eyebrow gel at home? Your lip balm will work just fine! With a clean finger, apply the lip balm in the direction of hair growth to each eyebrow, and pass over with a spoolie brush to finish off the look.

  63. Cool! Who knew the answer to so many beauty problems was in my pocket! I really love the idea of this as a highlighter option. I like a more dewy look, instead of a holographic, 80s video glam look. I prefer a more natural look. I will also try this on my cuticles AND my eyebrows! Awesome! Thx!

  69. I actually don’t use Lip Balm and now I am changing my mind and picking some up! I had no idea it can be used in so many ways.

  90. Years ago my brother and I were attending a wedding and his shoes were super-scuffed. He didn’t know what to do but all I did was pull out my natural (colorless) lip balm, told him to buff some on, and voila!

  91. Lip balm is great in the summer to keep your lips from getting chapped in heavy winds and protects against sunburn(as long as it has a good SPF value)

  92. I like the Cuticle moisturizer idea. I work in the dirt daily and it really dries out my hands, especially around my nails. I will try this!

  97. You can also use lip balm when you are at the pool and forget your lotion. (it does take a lot of lip balm, but better than no lotion after swimming. (personal experience….)

  99. I’ve used it for all those dry or unruly spot for a long time. It also works on helping hair stay in place, just use some on the fingertips.

  105. i had no idea you could do all that with lip balm, thats amazing, and i always have some on me

  109. For the last six months I discovered the lip balm that I use to put a dab on my eyelids to keep them moisturize and it does not irritate my eyes.

  111. i thought i was poor use when i was using my lip balm for my cuticules hahaha serious there are a lot of uses great article

  113. I love those ideas for lip balm use, especially for your cuticles. I never thought of that!

  124. I had a favorite stick lip balm melt and deform, I mixed it with a favorite lip color and put it in a contact case and not only saved it but got to appreciate it even more.

  125. I’ve used it around my nose and eyes but didn’t think about on the cuticles. I don’t use any balm with petroleum any more so I know my balm is safe to use anywhere on my body.
