I have dry skin all year ’round, but starting right about now it gets really, really armadillo-ish. Of course my lips bear the brunt of the seasonal attack, so I stash pots and tubes and sticks of balm in all of my purses, in the bathroom, by the bed…everywhere. And every single time I apply balm, I make sure to rub the excess into the runner-up for Most Suffering Body Part: my hands. Specifically, my cuticles. Cuticle balm is nice and all, but it only works if you use it regularly, and I never remember to switch it from one purse to another. But lip balm? That I always have close at hand.
P.S. Pretty, moisturized cuticles are especially important once you make the switch into wintry dark polishes…this one is going on my fingertips later on today.
