Natural Organic Lip Balm – Polyman TV

While I under­stand not every­body uses lip balm, it’s impor­tant to know what goes on your skin (even if it’s a simple kiss from some­body else). In this video I talk about the kind of lip balm I use right now: Pangea Organics Pyrenees Lavender With Cardamon. I also recom­mend Burt’s Bees and Badger Organic Lip Balm made with cocoa butter. There are many great brands out there, but these are the only ones I have solid expe­ri­ence with. Not mentioned in the video, I also had great healing success with avocado oil-based lip balm (but didn’t care to always taste avocados).

(Ps. No affil­iate links what­so­ever! Just direct company URLs. I don’t profit a penny from anything I recom­mend, so you can trust I only suggest it because I like it myself.)

The point of this isn’t about WHICH natural brand to use, but rather to become aware that most conven­tional brands are actu­ally toxic and to choose some­thing made with safe ingre­di­ents. The real key is picking some­thing all natural — prefer­ably organic — as most commer­cial makeup and lip prod­ucts contain petro­chem­i­cals (and hell, most lipstick still contains lead). These all tend to be vege­tarian and vegan anyways, so those with these diets are usually pretty safe.

Also remember that if your lips are constantly chapped, it’s likely that’s a symptom of dehy­dra­tion! Drink twice as much water as you currently are throughout the day, and notice the need to use any sort of mois­turize go way down.

Some may brush such a minus­cule amount of toxins off as negli­gible, but real­izing the fact that most people put lip balm on quite a few times a day, everyday, for their whole life… it adds up quickly — espe­cially with the 100s of other toxins we’re exposed to on a daily basis.

Skin care that’s all natural is the best way to go! There’s nothing un-masculine about caring for your health and taking care of your hygiene. While women don’t want to date another girl, they also don’t want to kiss a cheese grater. Be careful of what you put on your lips… and hers.
