Winter weather is known for wreaking havoc on your lips. There are ways to keep your lips soft and moisturized during the wet, cold months, and using the right balm tops the list. Lip balm works like a salve to relieve and prevent dry, chapped lips. The product works by providing a wax-like layer on the lip surface to seal in moisture and protect the lips from external exposure. Since lips contain a thin layer of skin, dry air, cold temperatures, and wind all have a negative effect on your mouth.
Here are 5 top lip balm products that work by protecting your pretty pout, and promising staying power. Sure, you may need to swipe on a second or third layer throughout the day for optimal results, but at night you should be able to get away with only one application before you fall asleep.
Top 5 Lip Balms
ChapStick: ChapStick is definitely one of the most recognized brands of lip balm on the market. ChapStick can nurse cracked, dry lips back to health with only a swipe or two. ChapStick Moisturizer Skin Protectant with sunscreen works wonders to keep your lips soft and smooth.
Maybelline Baby Lips Glow Lip Balm: Maybelline Baby Lips Glow Lip Balm keeps your lips moisturized without leaving a waxy or filmy residue. The pink Glow version leaves your lips with a perfect pink tint, as well as a glossy shine.
Blistex: Blistex offers a full range of lip care products for all your lip needs. Whether you’re looking for a lip balm to moisturize, hydrate, or prevent chapped and cracked lips, you’ll find a Blistex product that works.
Nivea Smoothness Lip Care: Nivea Smoothness Lip Care does just that; this balm goes on smooth and shiny without feeling sticky or greasy. Prevent dry lips with only a light application.
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm: Don’t let the word Beeswax fool you. Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm goes on smoothly, never goopy, and leaves no feeling of a waxy layer on your lips. This lip balm has been around for generations, leaving satisfied users with hydrated, moisturized lips.
Soft, supple, kissable lips are what we all strive to maintain; not only in winter months but all year. Most lip balms can be applied with your finger, or the product comes in a lipstick-style tube where it can be spread over the lips directly and evenly. Simply carry a container in your purse and apply a coat as necessary, ensuring your lips stay soft and smooth.
This winter treat your lips to long lasting-lip balms! Your soft, smooth, silky lips will thank you!
