Lip balms

Your lips are more delicate than the rest of your skin, making them prone to dryness, chapping, and , sun damage and dehydration faster than other body parts. Lip balms help maintain soft, hydrated lips, protecting them from dryness and environmental damage. Whether dealing with chapped & flaky lips or just looking for a daily lip moisturizer, a good lip balm can make all the difference. Lip balms help lock moisture while providing a barrier against harmful elements like cold weather or UV rays.

Features to look for in lip balms

When choosing the best lip balm for dry lips, look for the following features: 

• Moisturizing ingredients: Look for natural hydrators like shea butter, cocoa butter, squalane, glycerin, aloe vera, and hyaluronic acid that help keep lips soft and smooth.

• SPF protection: Lips need protection from the sun too! Opt for balms with SPF to shield your lips from harmful UV rays.

• Hydration & healing: Ingredients like aloe veraglycerin, and vitamin E work wonders for repairing dry, chapped lips and keeping them hydrated all day.

Seasonal lip care: winter vs. summer lip balms

Different seasons call for different lip care routines. During the colder months, your lips are more susceptible to cracking and flaking due to dryness. So for winters, you need lip balms for winters that provide extra hydration and protection.

For warmer months, lighter formulas of lipstick balms with SPF are ideal to keep your lips soft and protected.

Tips to apply lip balm for best results

• Apply your lip balm for dry lips regularly, especially after eating, drinking, or being out in the sun.

• While lip balms are beneficial, overusing them can make your lips reliant on external moisture. Stick to applying when necessary.

• For added moisture, apply a lip moisturizer balm under your favorite lipstick balm for a smooth, even finish.
