The Importance of Good Lips

A good lip should be just as important to a man as it is to a woman. Trust me, you will get compliments for soft lips. I do all the time. It’s a good thing. So throw out your bullshit Carmex or Chapstick – petroleum based lip balms do more harm than good.  Here is my run down of my favourite lip balms. Apply liberally and often.

What I love about this lip balm is the tingly mint sensation. And the person you kiss will also love it – they always do. The mint-infused lip balm soothes and shields lips with shea butter, leaving behind a smooth, matte finish. That is important – you want to stick to matte finishes men. No SPF here so watch out.

This is my classic go-to lip balm. All natural, loaded with coconut and sunflower oils, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, to nourish, condition and soften lips. The secret of the beeswax is that it seals in hydration. This lip balm also contains peppermint oil to give you that tingly sensation. Stick to the tube, the tin looks cool but requires your fingers to apply it = possible dirty fingers on your lips. Gross.

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 with Grapefruit & Ginger, $7.50           Yes, I am finally suggesting a lip balm that doesn’t tingle when you apply or kiss. This lip balm is enriched with superior skin conditioners and antioxidants. This lip balm will soothes and relieves even the most dry and chapped but why did you let it get that bad? Unlike a lot waxy sticks, this one penetrates quickly to provide relief. SPF 25.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
