Ilog Maria Lip Balm

When we went to Tagaytay, we decided to drop by Ilog Maria. It is known for its organic honey products. I was really planning to buy their lip balm as I have an extreme case of dry lips (or maybe OA lang ako!). But seriously, most of the time my lips are dry, chapped, flaky and pale. I have tried a couple of lip balms like Chapstick, Nivea, Maybelline, Vaseline lip therapy, even Petroleum jelly and they just won't fix it or even just have a lasting effect.

I read somewhere that honey with brown sugar mixed together is a great lip scrub to have a healthy, moisturized lips. I have not tried that but I am a believer of the wonders of honey. So back to Ilog Maria, I bought the lip balm, it costs Php70.00 per jar or stick. Aside from honey, it has beeswax and propolis. All produced by bees.

When I applied the lip balm, it has a minty or menthol-y effect. The feel is not greasy and the look is not glossy at all. After a while it does not feel like you are wearing it but my lips feel and look moisturized. After a few days, I noticed that my lips are not flaky anymore. It gets dry at times but not to the extent of flaky.

The Ilog Maria lip balm doesn't just moisturize but it heals. I have been using it for a few weeks now and my lips are better. It is a very good buy given it's less than a hundred and it is very effective.

Another good thing is that they deliver so you won't have to go to their store in Tagaytay everytime. Just shop online thru their website. The website is pretty cool and very informative. Everything you need to know are there.
