If you’re reading this you’re probably suffering from dry lips right about now, but the truth is, you should be using lip balm regularly – prevention is better than a cure, after all. The skin on our lips is just as valuable as the skin on our face, even if it doesn’t have as big of a surface area. In fact, our lips maybe even more valuable considering all the things we can do with them. 

Lips are a big deal to women and one of the first things we notice about a man. Cracked, flaky, dry lips could seriously get in the way of landing a first kiss, and you can completely forget about a touchdown. 

Even if you swore to put your career first and have taken yourself out of the dating game (good luck sticking to that), do it for yourself. A smile is one of your best assets, especially in business, followed by a strong handshake but there’s not much a lip balm can do for that (except for maybe distract them with the perfect smile).
