I’m intrigued by this new lip balm, called Burner Balm, which claims to burn fat as it is worn. The formula is supposed to curb the appetite and boost energy, so you don’t feel as hungry (or greedy!) so often.

The idea is when you start to feel peckish in between meals, apply the lip balm instead and you won’t feel the need to snack.

It’s an interesting idea, but I remain unconvinced! You’ll still need to have a fairly strong willpower in order to actually want to apply lip balm instead of having a bar of chocolate.

On the upside, it has SPF15 to protect the lips from the sun… so it can’t be all bad.
