Aloe Lip Balms - Yay or Nay?

Aloe Vera is a natural moisturizer so works well on any part of the body requiring moisture. There are many bands on the market which are used on the lips. Vaseline, which is petroleum jelly is currently very popular in the market for soothing lips. But what actually does Vaseline do? Petroleum jelly actually seals the lips when it is applied. Therefore it does not actually increase the moisture at all. In fact the sealant can make the lips drier, and therefore will make you need more of the product.

Aloe based lip balms are a natural moisturizer as they naturally aid in adding moisture to the lips - which is what you are looking for in a product.

Therefore, Aloe Vera is a perfect product to use for moisturizing!
