Is the correct way to apply lip balm horizontal or vertical?

Lips, which have no sebaceous glands and a thin horny layer, are the most prone to dryness on the face. Many people use lip balm to prevent dryness, but did you know that there is a correct way to apply lip balm?

The correct way to apply lip balm is…
Vertical application is the right way!

Surprisingly, the correct way is to apply lip balm vertically. Lips are wrinkled vertically, and if applied horizontally, lip balm will not penetrate the fine creases, and will not moisturize the lips in full. In addition, lips have thin epidermis and are vulnerable to friction, so applying horizontally when they are dry tends to tear the skin. Therefore, it is recommended that the product be applied vertically so that it can be spread between the creases. After applying, do not forget to blend the upper and lower lips together.

Lip balm is often used in cold weather, and if used while it is still hard, it will not blend well, so it is important to remember to warm it up with body heat before use. If you want to apply lip balm more carefully, apply it to clean fingertips before putting it on the lips.
