Dry and chapped lips require a lip balm or other lip treatment that helps hydrate and lock in moisture for longer term results without reapplication. If you’re looking for a new lip balm that effectively combats dryness, we recommend the following:
Lip Balms with Humectants – Ingredients that act as humectants, like Hyaluronic Acid, draw moisture from the atmosphere into the skin, including the lips.
Lip Balms with Occlusives – Occlusive ingredients, like Shea Butter, help lock in moisture.
Lip Balms with Emollients – Emollients can have some crossover with the above by helping to smooth skin, including the lips. Check out ingredients like lanolin or ceramides.
Sephora carries a variety of lip products that help treat dry and chapped lips. Check out products from some of our favorite brands.
