My lips are constantly dry. I’m one of those people you’ll see applying lip balm, and two minutes later, reapplying. Most lip balms like Burts Bees, Nivea, and Chapstick don’t work for me. I used to like them, but I realized that they only made your lips feel good …

I’m going back to toners once again after some “self-debate”. I speculate my skin has gotten too sensitive for toning and that alcohol has much to do with it. The Kiehl’s ultra facial oil-free toner seems like a good toner to get started.
The main thrust is to …
