Lip balm

Savannah pulls a pot of strawberry lipbalm from her blazer pocket. ‘This weather is murder on my lips.’ As she flicks off the lid, her mouth drops open. ‘Look!’ She thrusts the balm under my nose. […] ‘The marks in the lipbalm.’ She points at a couple of smears in the pink goo. ‘It definitely says LJ!’

Stick to gentle and natural skincare and make-up which is absorbed into our body via our largest organ – the skin. Such natural products are both good for us and our environment. Not only is the variety of natural beauty products improving, but so too is their performance power, as more and more companies look into feeding this new appetite. Pay special attention to lipsticks and lipbalms, since most of this ends up getting eaten!
