We often think of using a lip balm when we have dry, cracked, chapped lips. But, what if I told you it can be used for more than just healing cracked lips? Yes, a lip balm may not be the most glamorous product, but it surely is a useful one. Want to know how? Here are 8 clever ways to use your balm other than on your lips.
1. Hydrate the skin around your eyes and minimize fine lines by applying lip balm around your eye area.
