Read our lips! Not all balms are created equal. Certain salves – even the pricier ones – can actually make your lips even worse. This is why it’s so beneficial to invest in the best lip balms for your lips.

Because the skin on our lips loses moisture faster than facial skin, choosing a chapped lip champion that not only moisturises, but repairs and protects from everyday stressors and dehydration as well as sets up a great foundation for your perfect lipstick, is crucial. Look for formulas enriched with moisturising ingredients like shea butter and jojoba oil, hydrating heroes such as hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, and healing wonders like vitamin E and calendula extract.

But it doesn’t end there. You can find lip balms designed to plump, impart a juicy shine and add a subtle kiss of colour. They even make sunscreen-spiked ones. From budget-friendly beauties to luxurious alternatives, here are our current faves…
