This sweet lip balm delivers comforting moisture to dry, chapped lips. Enriched with nourishing Honey and Milk Protein extracts, it helps to soften flakes and leave lips feeling smooth and hydrated with a subtle sheen.

• Who it's for: Anyone experiencing dry, flaky, or chapped lips. Suitable for all skin types needing lip hydration.
• What it does: Provides immediate moisture, helps soften rough patches, protects lips, leaves a natural-looking sheen.
• Key Ingredients: Honey Extract (Humectant, Nourishing), Milk Protein Extract (Conditioning, Softening).
• Texture: Smooth, non-sticky balm.
• Scent: Light, sweet honey/milk fragrance.

Simply glide the balm onto clean, dry lips whenever they feel dry or tight. Reapply as needed throughout the day.

• AM: Apply after your morning skincare, before any lip colour.
• PM: Apply as the very last step of your evening routine.
• Throughout the day: Apply whenever lips feel dry.

Note: Already own a similar lip balm? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

In the morning, apply the lip balm after completing your facial skincare routine (cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, sunscreen) but before applying any lip colour like lipstick or tint. It creates a smooth, hydrated base.

Alternatively, wear it alone for a natural, moisturised lip look. Reapply after eating or drinking as needed.

In the evening, apply the lip balm as the very last step after all your other skincare products have absorbed. This helps lock in moisture overnight.

For very dry or chapped lips, consider applying a slightly thicker layer before bed as an overnight lip treatment.

• Amount: Glide 1-2 swipes over upper and lower lips for a thin, even layer.
• Frequency: Apply as needed throughout the day and before bed. There's no strict limit.
• Method: Apply directly from the tube onto clean lips. Rub lips together gently to distribute.
• Tip for Dryness: If lips are very chapped, gently exfoliate first (e.g., with A'pieu Honey&Milk Lip Scrub 1-2 times a week) before applying the balm for better absorption.
• Tip for Overnight Care: Apply a more generous layer before sleeping to act as a mini lip mask.

Safety: For external use on lips only. Avoid contact with eyes. Stop use if irritation occurs.

This lip balm can be used daily, multiple times a day, as needed.

• Daily: Apply in the AM after skincare, before makeup, and throughout the day whenever lips feel dry. Apply again in the PM as the last step.
• Weekly Boost: Consider pairing with a lip scrub (like A'pieu Honey&Milk Lip Scrub) 1-2 times per week for extra smoothness.

• Immediately: Lips feel instantly more comfortable, hydrated, and have a subtle sheen. Relief from tightness.
• Within 1 Week: With regular use (several times daily), lips should feel consistently softer and less prone to chapping. Flakiness should reduce.
• 4+ Weeks: Continued use helps maintain healthy, moisturised lips, potentially reducing the frequency of severe dryness or cracking.

Individual results may vary. Consistent use is key, especially in dry or windy conditions.

• Why this, not just licking lips? Licking lips provides only temporary relief and actually worsens dryness as saliva evaporates, stripping moisture. This balm provides lasting hydration and protection.
• Why this, not harsh DIY lip scrubs? While gentle exfoliation helps, aggressive DIY scrubs (like coarse sugar or salt) can cause micro-tears on delicate lip skin. Use a dedicated gentle lip scrub or this balm to soften flakes naturally.
• Why this, not ignoring dry lips? Chronically dry lips can crack, become painful, and affect how lip colour applies. Consistent use of a balm maintains lip health and comfort.

• Works Well With: Lip scrubs (use scrub first, then balm), lip tints/lipsticks (apply balm first as a base, blot slightly if needed, then colour), lip oils (apply oil over balm for extra gloss).
• Use Carefully With: N/A - Generally compatible with all standard lip care.
• Avoid On: Broken or bleeding lip skin (use a healing ointment instead until healed).

This lip balm is suitable for all skin types experiencing dryness or chapping on the lips.

• Dry Lips: Excellent for providing necessary moisture and protection.
• Oily/Combination/Normal Skin: Suitable for lip care as needed; the balm texture is not overly heavy.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated, but contains fragrance. A patch test on the inner arm is advisable if you have known fragrance sensitivities or allergies to milk/honey products.

• Dryness & Dehydration: Provides immediate and lasting moisture to combat lip dryness.
• Chapped Lips: Softens rough, chapped skin and helps protect lips from further moisture loss.
• Flakiness: Helps to smooth and reduce flaky patches on the lips.
• Dullness: Adds a healthy, subtle sheen for a more vibrant lip appearance.
