Benefit your lips — Queens, you are worth it!

African-American women’s lips are a very big deal. For years, the size of our lips has been the cause of fascination because let’s highlight the truth — we are all that and more. Despite having to fight for acceptance in mainstream society, we remain the trendsetters and the bold, revolutionaries.
Our look, our lips. I completely understand why women try their hardest to emulate us. But they fail, there is no “authenticity” and you simply can’t fake the funk.

Back to our lips; our luscious lips deserve to be pampered, and one way to do that is to use a nourishing lip balm.

I’ll go a step further and suggest that using a balm to protect your lips is essential, as it can protect your lips from the damaging rays from the sun that can cause cancer. And, if you suffer from dry lips, then a lip balm is even more important to make sure that your lips stay nourished and get all of the nutrients they need.

Many markers make us unique, like our fingerprints, no one has the same lip impression and lips don’t have sweat glands or oil glands, and has the highest density of nerve endings in comparison to any other area of the body.

Plus our lips have a sensual appeal to them, and are often considered an erogenous zone, and can emit pheromones that help in choosing a mate.

Taking care of your lips, and focusing on products that work is a part of self-care, which is a part of self-love, and Queens, we are worth it!
