Honorary mention
Burt’s Honey Bee Lip Balm for $4: If you focus on ingredients, Burt’s bees may be in your tote at some point. The original recipe combines beeswax, coconut oil, sunflower oil and peppermint oil. Without oil, without parabens, you can find it almost anywhere. That is, beeswax forms a strong barrier, but not the most moisturizing barrier, especially during winter deaths. Balm jacket, but won’t penetrate, which means it won’t help with the already cracked lips. Peppermint oil can also be a little too spicy for sensitive lips. Still, if you’re in the pinch, standing in front of CVS self-examination, it’s smarter than Blistex (to do it later).
$16 for Glossier Balm Dotcom: The glossy balm spots go away so you can run Laneige lip sleep mask. This is a multifunctional ointment that combines lanolin, castor oil and beeswax to retain the final moisture. Plus, it has a few pure colors that do well on makeup days without making. However, the thick waxy texture will feel a little blocky, especially when you layer your lips.

Goop Beauty nourishing lips repair mask for $30: This buttered lip mask from Goop is packed with ceramide to help restore your lip barrier, as well as fig seed oil and Acai fruit that smells like a tropical sound. Although it does not contain silicone, parabens and synthetic fragrances, these vegetable oils and fruit extracts can still trigger the reaction. Patch testing first. Plus, for only $30 for 0.3 ounces of Fluid Ounce, this isn’t the most cost-effective balm on my list.
Omorovicza Budapest Perfecting Lip Balm for $46: Omorovicza’s perfect lip balm has a soft and tough texture that almost feels like a lip gloss or a micro-falling agent. Here are some good things like hyaluronic acid and omega fatty acids. However, there are also some unnecessary (potential stimulation) extra features – cisterone oil, parfum and benzyl alcohol.
Avoid these lip balms
Blistex Lip Medex 3 pack, priced at $6: It gives you an instant sting, thanks to Menthol and Camphor, plus a synthesis of flavors and perfume cocktails, but the sting is a dangerous banner. General instructions: “Medicine” lip balm usually does more harm than good.
Carmex Classic Lip Balm 3 Pack for $3: Skip Carmex for reasons similar to Blistex. It contains camphor and benzocaine, which are ingredients that irritate the skin and make the lips worse over time.
FAQ
What causes the lip incision?
There are many triggers, and these are some of the most common causes of lip stomp:
- Cold weather and dry air: The cold and dry air ZAP moisture comes from the skin and hardens keratin, the protein that moistens your lips.
- Lip licking: The more you lick, the drier they will become. Licking the lips can damage the natural barrier to the lips, causing irritation and even pigmentation.
- Allergic reactions: Some lip balms contain ingredients that trigger allergic reactions, making dryness and peeling worse. Common suspects include castor oil, perfume, dyes and preservatives.
- Sun exposure: Your lips are thinner and have less pigment than the rest of your skin, which means less protection from UV rays. Unprotected exposure can cause painful dryness or precancerous spots called activated zirilitis.
- Tobacco tobacco: If you smoke, your lips are at a higher risk of having adenitis disease, which can lead to swelling, rough texture and cracks. It can also increase the risk of infection and lip cancer.
- drug: Dry mouth of certain drugs is a side effect, including but not limited to visual-like viscosidins, antihistamines, antidepressants and benzodiazepines.
- Basic conditions: Autoimmune conditions like lupus, eczema, or lichen planes can all appear on your lips first. If your symptoms don’t bother after trying the usual suspect, talk to your dermatologist.
