Lip Care Tips During Exercise
Apply lip balm before every workout
Heavy breathing during exercise dries out lips rapidly as air constantly moves across them. A pre-workout application of beeswax-based lip balm creates a protective barrier that lasts through your session.
Choose a non-greasy formula for exercise
You don't want a heavy, slippery lip product while working out. Organic lip balms with jojoba oil absorb cleanly and provide moisture without a greasy feel that interferes with your activity.
Reapply after water breaks
Drinking water washes away lip balm. Keep a tube in your gym bag or running belt and reapply after hydration stops during long workouts.
Stay hydrated during your workout
Dehydration shows up on your lips first. Proper hydration before, during, and after exercise keeps lips moisturized from the inside while your lip balm protects from the outside.
Protect against outdoor exercise elements
Outdoor workouts add sun, wind, and temperature to the challenge. Apply extra lip balm for outdoor exercise and consider a buff or gaiter for cold-weather workouts that covers your mouth area.
