O'KEEFFE'S

I have been on the hunt for an SPF lip balm lately since I’ve been spending more time trying out different SPF’s for my face (reviews later, I promise) and while trying out different face screens, I thought “what about my lips?” 🤔 We all know it, the golden rule of skincare: USE SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY. 🌞 But have you ever thought of the fact that your lip balm should also have SPF? 🌝 Along with the risk of skin cancer, extended sun exposure gradually breaks down your collagen and results in thinning lips. So wearing SPF on your lips will help protect them from both skin cancer and signs of aging. 😲 Anyway, I have been trying out a few different SPF lip balms, all drugstore so far, with everything from Sun Bum (mango) which was awful because of the overpowering flavor to Aquaphor which wasn’t really my thing either. 🤮 But then, while grabbing vitamins in Target and someone without their mask 😷 came tumbling down my aisle, I fled over to the next aisle and suddenly a wild SPF O’Keeffe’s balm appeared! 😲 Being as I love their lotions for my eczema, I had to give their lip balm a try, plus it was only maybe $4? 🤔 Let’s just say I think I have found my holy grail SPF lip balm. 🙌🏻 ✨ it’s moisturizing as hell, I don’t feel I need to apply it as often as other balms ✨ my lips are sooo soft after using it and for so long too, I’m talking hours upon hours ✨ it’s SPF 35 compared to most other balms at SPF 15 ✨ it has shea butter in it ✨ it’s cheap 🌝 ✨ It doesn’t have a taste, which for me is perfect. I don’t taste it at all ✨ it’s water resistant up to 80 minutes 🙌🏻 Honestly, with that being said, I plan to buy one for my best friend and see how she likes it under lipstick / lip tint because it lasts such a long time and it feels so smooth and soft on the lips. Overall thoughts? I love this lip balm, its super moisturizing, has an amazing amount of SPF in it to protect the lips, it’s tasteless, it’s cheap, it feels amazing and I’m willing to bet it would be perfect for long wear under lip makeup 💄 OH, it also doesn’t take several swipes to use, only maybe two or three swipes and you’re good, so it will last a long time. This is THE lip balm SPF 🧴 for me and I am going to stockpile and order about 13 of them so I never run out. 🌚🙌🏻✨

Inexpensive and works what else do you need.. makes lip soft and hydrated

I use bath & body work’s hand cream everyday, I even Carry a tube in my purse to keep my hands feeling soft. During this quarantine though I have washed my hands and used so much sanitizer and having been using so many cleaning products that my poor hands were getting extremely dry, rough and even started to crack In areas. The bath and Bodyworks hand creams work great for normal use, but could not handle the amount of handwashing and sanitizing (alcohol-based). In my husband’s line of work he wears a lot of gloves, which causes his hands to get extremely dry and crack. I actually bought him Okeefes working hands from the hardware store to see if it would help him and he loves it. When my hands started cracking,He told me to try it out. The consistency is almost like a paste but smooths out easy on your hands, doesn’t leave your hands feeling greasy and there is no scent. When you first put it on you instantly feel an added skin barrier on your hands & they also feel instantly smoother & softer. Just a small dab will do you, if you overuse it will feel sticky. I’ve been using this for 3 weeks now and my hands feel amazing, soft smooth and the cracks are all healed. In the beginning I was using throughout the day after washing hands. Since my hands healed and back to normal I still use this but not as much. I originally got this at a hardware store but I have purchased it again at Walmart for $5.99 I gave this a 5/5 ⭐️ and highly recommend this for anybody that need that extra care for their hands.
