Lip Care Tips for Musicians
Apply lip balm 30 minutes before playing wind instruments
Applying too close to performance time can make your embouchure slippery. Apply 30 minutes before to let the balm absorb, leaving lips hydrated but not slick for optimal instrument contact.
Use a minimal-ingredient formula
Musicians need a lip balm that hydrates without leaving residue on mouthpieces or reeds. Numbrrrz's simple organic formula absorbs completely, leaving no waxy or oily buildup that affects your tone.
Reapply during breaks and after practice
Extended playing sessions dry out lips through constant pressure and airflow. Reapply during every break and immediately after practice to help lips recover from the stress of playing.
Keep lips conditioned between performances
Don't just care for your lips on performance days. Consistent daily lip care keeps your lips in playing condition at all times, reducing the need for last-minute repair before gigs.
Avoid petroleum-based products on playing days
Petroleum leaves a residue that can affect the seal between your lips and the instrument. Organic oils absorb fully, providing moisture without interfering with your embouchure or tone quality.
