Cosmetic oils are an option for those girls who absolutely do not want to spend time preparing and mixing oils. Usually such girls live in a frantic rhythm, where there is no time for good self-care. Therefore, cosmetic oils remain the only option for caring for delicate lip skin. In the world there are many cosmetic companies that create gloss and lipstick based on essential oils and write on the packaging about 100% naturalness, but this is not so. Although all oils are used as a component, they are added to the product in small quantities and are often diluted with other ingredients.

If the skin of your lips is dry, then you should choose coconut oil. The product must be airtight and easy to apply.

All this will lead to not very good consequences. In this case, you should choose a balm in the stick or buy another brush for applying the product.

The cosmetic product should not cause discomfort or excessive tingling. In this case, the oil is either not suitable for you, or there are some contraindications, for example, an allergy to the product. Makeup will cause irritation if it is damaged or has expired. After the expiration date, the product is also not worth using. It will be dangerous for your skin. It is not worth saving on the skin of the face, lips, eyes, since the consequences will be more depressing. Buying a new lipstick is easier than getting treatment.

You can simply mix products with each other in small quantities, creating scrubs and balms that will nourish and enrich the skin.
