What differentiates Japanese lip balms from other lip balms is that many of them often feature added UV protection, are tinted, come in refreshing scents, or even have a slightly different texture compared to their Western counterparts.Lip balm helps to keep dry lips hydrated, and also eases any soreness and/or discomfort caused by chapped lips. Some lip balms even contain special ingredients, such as shea butter, which prevent lips from becoming overly dry with regular use. Why Is Japanese Lip Balm Special?
