How do I use this apricot lip balm before applying lipstick, and why might it help?

To use the balm as a base, apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry lips several minutes before you plan to put on your lipstick. Gently blot any excess with a tissue if needed. The balm's formula, centred on softening sunflower oil, works to condition the lip surface. By improving suppleness and smoothing over any dry or flaky texture, it creates a more uniform canvas. Lipstick tends to adhere better and distribute more evenly on softened, conditioned skin, which can help prevent it from settling into fine lines or appearing patchy. This preparatory step is a common cosmetic practice for achieving a smoother finish and can be particularly useful with matte or long-wear lipstick formulas that can emphasise dryness. The light apricot scent fades quickly and should not interfere with the fragrance of your lip product.
