Eli5: where does chapstick / lip balm go?

708 views

I’ve been in a meeting for around 4 hours and have had to reapply lip balm (I use aquaphore) about 6 times. I’m not drinking or talking, and not licking my lips. Where is it going?

You’ve already got your answer. Just to add that you seem to have an addiction to the lip balm. Some brands cause addiction. I suggest that you switch to another brand.

For those saying it gets absorbed, a sub-question: if that’s the case, why is it still on my lips after sleeping for 8 hours? I understand that while I’m awake, I’m ingesting it a lot more than when I’m sleeping, but if it gets absorbed, why is so much left on my lips in the morning?
