Today I wanted to share with you my love affair with Nivea Lip Balms. They were the first real brand of lip balms that I was introduced to as a child, by my mum, and even after trying literally hundreds of balms, they still remain a firm favourite.
My favourite everyday lip balm is the Nivea Repair and Protect. I really like the formula of this because it is quite hard and waxy, and has a matte finish, meaning it doesn't affect the lip colour that you apply over the top. It is really nourishing and although I like to top up throughout the day, you need only use it once a day. I also like that it is a twist up balm as I hate lip balms in a pot, and find them so messy and unhygienic.
The Nivea Sun Protect is an essential for me in the summer as it contains SPF30. It is a very similar formula to the previous lip balm but the addition of the SPF means that it also protects your lips from the sun. You have to be careful not to go overboard otherwise your lips do go a bit white, but if you're applying lipstick or gloss over the top it really doesn't matter.
Lastly, I have the Nivea SOS lip balm which is in a squeezy tube. I apply a generous layer of this before bed and wake up with my lips completely rejuvenated. Any chapping is gone and my lips are super soft. This is a real life saver in the winter when the bitter air results in my lips getting easily chapped.
Next on my list to try is the Nivea Milk and Honey lip balm as I have heard lots of YouTubers raving about it recently! What do you think of the nivea lip balms? Are you a fan?
