Learn how to apply doTERRA spa Lip Balm Herbal for maximum hydration, plus tips to avoid common mistakes and keep your lips soft all day.
Quick answer
Apply doTERRA spa Lip Balm Herbal to clean, dry lips in thin layers, reapply as needed throughout the day, and avoid licking your lips to lock in moisture.
Why thin layers work better than thick ones
A thick coat of lip balm can feel heavy and may trap dead skin instead of hydrating the lips. The herbal formula in doTERRA spa Lip Balm Herbal uses emollients that soften and smooth when applied sparingly. One light layer is enough to deliver the essential oils and botanicals that nourish your lips.
When to reapply for best results
Dry lips lose moisture quickly in cold, dry air or after eating and drinking. Reapply the lip balm after meals, before going outdoors, and right before bed. The convenient tube makes it easy to carry and use throughout the day without over-applying.
How to apply doTERRA spa Lip Balm Herbal
- Start with clean, dry lips: Gently wipe away any leftover lipstick, food, or debris with a soft cloth or tissue. Dry lips absorb the balm better when they are clean. Applying balm over dirty lips can trap bacteria and worsen dryness.
- Twist the tube just enough to expose the tip: Turn the base of the tube only 1–2 mm so a small amount of balm peeks out. Too much exposed balm can break or smear. Only twist up what you need — over-twisting makes the balm harder to apply evenly.
- Apply a thin, even layer to both lips: Glide the balm across your lips from the center outward. Use gentle pressure; do not press hard or rub back and forth. A single pass is enough — multiple passes can remove the balm you just applied.
- Press your lips together once to distribute: Lightly close your lips and press them together one time. This spreads the balm into the corners and ensures even coverage. Do not smack or rub your lips — that can push the balm off the surface.
- Reapply as needed throughout the day: Apply again after eating, drinking, or spending time in dry or windy conditions. For overnight care, apply a slightly thicker layer before sleep. If your lips still feel dry after 30 minutes, you may need to exfoliate gently first.
