Deadly Reasons Why You Should Not Share Your Lip Balm!
Who knew that our favourite lip balm has such dark secrets! Especially if you are in the habit of sharing it with your girl pal.
Oh, that's a cool new shade, can I try it? Hey girl! I forgot my chapstick. Can I have yours? The lip colour is not working with my look, give me yours. Stop sharing your lip balm like it's your day job! And definitely not with a stranger; you never know where their lips have been. Here are some mind-boggling reasons why you should avoid sharing your lip balm.
There are only two ways to use a lip balm - the person will either rub it directly on her lips or take a tiny swab in her bacteria teeming fingers, and both are bad news!
Wondering what exactly happens when you share your lip products? Here is what -
Bacteria
Love
Tango
This
is
the
most
important
reason
why
you
should
avoid
sharing
your
lip
balm.
Your
lips
have
extensive
blood
vessels
just
under
the
surface.
Anything
you
apply
on
the
thin
membrane
of
the
lips
automatically
gets
passed
on
to
your
system
through
the
bloodstream,
which
includes
the
bacteria.
Viruses
Live
For
Weeks
Even
if
it
has
been
a
few
days,
since
the
lip
product
was
last
used
by
your
friend,
take
a
note
of
this
-
viruses
attach
themselves
onto
the
lip
balm
and
survive
on
it
for
weeks.
So,
if
unfortunately,
the
person
who
used
it
earlier
was
suffering
from
cold,
even
a
mild
one,
they
are
pretty-much
passing
it
on
to
you!
Herpes
Alert
Another
deadly
reason
to
avoid
sharing
lip
balm!
If
the
person
using
your
lip
balm
has
a
slight
break
in
the
skin
or
chapped
lips
and
happens
to
suffer
from
mouth
ulcers
or
worse
herpes
virus,
there
is
a
very
good
chance
you
will
contract
it.
And
just
wiping
the
surface
and
reusing
it
is
not
enough.
Throw
the
product
away
and
if
you
are
in
a
dire
situation,
simply
slice
the
top
off!
Don't
Let
Makeup
Artists
Touch
You
With
Their
Lipsticks
If
you
are
a
bride
to
be,
ready
to
take
on
the
day
with
that
perfect
makeup,
here
is
a
little
tip
for
you!
NEVER,
we
repeat,
never,
let
the
artist
touch
your
lips
with
his
lip
products.
Chances
are
it
has
been
on
10
other
lips
before
you!
The
right
way
to
do
is
to
use
a
clean
lip
brush
or
cotton
swab
to
apply
the
lip
colour.
The
same
rule
goes
when
you
try
out
lipsticks
at
a
beauty
counter!
Now,
you
know
why
we
insisted
sharing
lip
balm
is
a
bad
idea?
Hands
Are
Breeding
Ground
Too
People
think
using
fingers
is
more
sanitized
and
a
less
risky
way
of
sharing
lip
balm.
Well,
it
is
not.
If
your
lips
have
40%
bacteria,
your
hands
will
have
80%.
There
is
no
safe
way
to
go
about
it.
There
are
a
few
things,
best
kept
to
yourself,
and
your
lip
products
are
one
of
those!
So,
be
a
snob
if
you
have
to,
say
No!
Lip
Fact
If
the
above-mentioned
reasons
to
avoid
sharing
lip
balm
did
not
convince
you,
nothing
will.
To
further
widen
your
knowledge
on
lip
products,
here
are
fact
checks
for
you!
Lip
balm
does
not
moisture
your
lips,
it
just
traps
the
existing
moisture
to
prevent
it
from
getting
chapped.
Fragrances
used
in
your
chapstick
tend
to
be
synthetic,
which
slough
off
the
top
layer
of
your
lips,
leaving
it
exposed
and
raw.
Camphor,
that
gives
a
waxy
texture
to
the
lip
balm
tends
to
be
toxic,
especially
for
the
children!
Hope this article told you exactly what happens when you share your lip balm; if you have any more reasons, feel free to add on to the list!
