Lip Balm

I used to cringe at the thought of lip balm being rubbed on the surface of my lips. Now I can’t get enough of it. I started one day because my doctor told me that I was going on this medication that would make my skin very dry. He said if I didn’t use lip balm that my “lips would fall off.” I didn’t believe this statement, but I also didn’t want to find out if he was telling the truth. So my mom went out and picked up some lip balm (Blistex Lip Medex to be exact) and I began using it instantly. It was rather difficult to adjust to at first, but after a while, I couldn’t stop balming my lips. A friend of mine once told me that lip balm actually burns a thin layer of lip off, causing anyone who uses it to become addicted. I do not believe this.
