There is nothing more annoying than lips that refuse to stay moist. Dry, chapped, peeling lips are unsightly and uncomfortable here are a few quick tips to help keep this situation at bay:

1. Just like applying moisturizer on top of dead skin on the face is not very effective, so is putting lip balm on top of flaky skin on the lips. Use a lip exfoliator to remove dead skin and minimize the appearance of lines, before applying your lip balm.

2. Don’t be hit and miss with your lip balm. Consistency is the key to smooth soft lips. Especially before you go to sleep–it’s like a night cream for your lips.

3. Look for ingredients in lip balm such as vitamin E and jojoba oil for maximum moisture.

Dry hands are the bane of my existence, and this product totally fixes the situation.

What’s so great about EA 8 hour cream? It’s jam packed with super moisturizing ingredients like petrolatum and vitamin E.

Because of it’s natural sheen, Backstage it’s often used to highlight the high planes of models faces, gloss lips, and tame brows.
