Use Lip Balm to Protect Your Lips from Spicy Food

If you love the taste of spicy food, but can't handle the burning sensation on your lips, a little lip balm can help.

Applying a layer of chapstick before eating will form a semi-protective barrier to keep spices from burning your skin. Just be sure to wipe if off once you're done eating so the spice doesn't soak in over time. This won't make your buffalo wings taste any less spicy, but it will save your lips. So, if you're trying to build up a tolerance to spicy foods, this can help ease a particularly painful side effect.
