Nivea Lip Care A Kiss Of Moisture, Hydrating Lip Care SPF 4 — 

Nivea A Kiss Of Moisture Essential Lip Care is my new favorite lip balm. I prefer a waxy-to-creamy consistency in my balm because I want to really feel it when I apply it. If you're the type that prefers a lighter feel, then this probably isn't the lip balm for you.

The formula is soft enough to apply easily but it isn't greasy or slippery. My lips feel incredibly soft and I find that I don't have to reapply as often as other balms. The primary ingredients are waxes (microcrystalline, carnuba, and beeswax), oils (shea butter, castor, jojoba and grape seed oils), copolymers, glycerin, and other scientific-sounding agents. Thankfully, the product doesn't contain mint, camphor, menthol, licorice or other "tingling" ingredients that tend to dry out my lips once the cooling sensation subsides. There is the slightest fragrance, but not enough to cause me any irritation.

My only issue with Nivea Kiss of Moisture is that the SPF 4 level is pretty low. There are so many other lip care products that start with at least an SPF of 15. I'm not out in the sun much during the day so it's not a problem for me. However, on days that I do plan to spend outdoors I would choose a different product to apply to my lips. SPF 4 just isn't much protection.

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with Nivea A Kiss Of Moisture Essential Lip Care. This lip balm is moisturizing, non-irritating and long lasting. I'm only using it twice per day as opposed to 4 or more times per day of other brands. The more I use A Kiss of Moisture, the less I need it.

Not having to use it often is a benefit...good info!
