Let’s dive into this step-by-step guide for healthier, happier lips—and make lip care a treat, not a chore!
Lip Care Habits
1. Ditch Petroleum for Beeswax Brilliance
Many petroleum-based products, like Vaseline, may seem to offer instant relief, but in reality, they can create more problems:
- Forming a non-breathable layer that traps bacteria.
- Clogging pores and blocking natural skin repair.
- Providing no real nourishment, leaving lips drier in the long run.
Why Choose Beeswax Instead?
- Forms a breathable barrier to lock in hydration while letting toxins escape.
- Non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores).
- Draws in moisture and is packed with nutrients that nourish and protect.

2. Avoid Synthetic & Cruelty-Based Colours
Check the label on your lip products: do they contain synthetic dyes, fragrances, or preservatives that irritate and dry lips?
One surprising ingredient to look out for is carmine (or “CI 75470”), a red dye made from crushed cochineal beetles. Shocking, right? Many popular brands still use it!
Instead, choose cruelty-free, bee-friendly natural colours derived from minerals, like those in our tinted lip balms—no crushed beetles here.
3. Embrace the Power of Beeswax & Raw Honey
The ultimate lip care duo!
- Beeswax creates a protective barrier to prevent moisture loss.
- Raw honey, rich in antioxidants, promotes healing, hydration and softness.
This winning combination is the secret ingredient in our lip balms, keeping your lips nourished without the need for constant reapplication.
Look for local raw honey and pure premium beeswax cappings, which we use in all our lip care. Pick your favourite lip balm here.
The Ultimate Lip Care Ritual for Soft, Nourished, Healthy Lips
1. Start with a Lip-Friendly Cleanser
Skip harsh wipes or SLS-laden cleansers. Opt for a natural cleansing balm or oil to gently remove debris while keeping your lips nourished.
Step 2: Hydrate Your Lips for a Natural Plump
Hydration is key! After cleansing, spritz your lips with a water-based glycerin mist. This preps your lips to absorb moisture while reducing the appearance of fine lines.
✨ Pro Tip: don’t have a face mist? Simply dampen your lips with a little water. Not quite as hydrating , but a great ,easy alternative
3. Feed Your Lips with Oil
After hydrating, follow up with a nourishing lip oil. Look for oils like jojoba or grapeseed, which mimic your skin’s natural sebum to deeply hydrate without feeling greasy.
Our Queen Bee Honey Eye Oil doubles as a luxurious lip oil—perfect for soothing and softening lips before sealing them with your favourite lip balm.
4. Protect with SPF
Your lips are delicate and prone to sun damage. Use a beeswax lip balm for everyday environmental protection and add an SPF lip product to shield them from harmful UV rays.
5. Night time lip love
Before bed, apply a thick layer of beeswax lip balm. A lavender-scented balm is perfect for creating a calming bedtime ritual while deeply nourishing your lips overnight.
6. Shield Lips with Physical Barriers
Wind, sun, and cold can wreak havoc on lips. Along with a protective lip balm, cover your lips with a scarf in harsh weather to protect even further.
7. Avoid Lip Licking
Though tempting, licking your lips actually dries them out. Saliva evaporates quickly, leaving lips more vulnerable to moisture loss and irritation.
8. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliate your lips once or twice a week to remove dead skin and enhance the effectiveness of your lip balm.
DIY: mix fine sugar with a little lip balm or use our Queen Bee Face Scrub for gentle lip exfoliation.
9. Try a Weekly Honey Lip Mask
Spread raw honey over your lips and leave it on for 10–15 minutes. Its natural antibacterial and healing properties will repair cracked lips and gently exfoliate, leaving them smooth and plump.
10. Nourish with Lip-Friendly Colour
Need a pop of colour? Mainstream matte lipsticks can be drying but our natural tinted lip balms combine nourishing care with a touch of colour.
Choose from:
- Subtle Sweet Pea Pink
- Bronzy Chestnut
- Bold Poppy Red
Perfect for cheeks and eyelids too!
