Dry lips aren’t  just limited to the chilly winter months, but can occur any time, especially among those with dry skin. But don’t worry, because these eight GH-approved lip balms will put an end to any discomfort and make your lips smooth and soft. Pucker up!

1. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lip Protection Stick

Just like the legendary cream, this lip balm is emollient-rich and offers eight hours of protection. It comes in a purse-friendly tube for on-the-go touchups. 

2. Vichy Aqualia Thermal Soothing & Repairing Balm

If you suffer from sensitive skin that doesn’t agree with regular lip balms, try this one from Vichy. It’s incredibly hydrating while being gentle enough for all skin types.

4. Lush Lip Service Lip Balm

This little tin contains a mixture of beeswax and essential oils, which work together to soften and soothe unhappy lips. Bonus: it’s also certified cruelty-free. 

5. REN Vita Mineral Lip Balm

Another earth-friendly find, this balm from REN is packed with minerals, oils and shea butter, and softens, hydrates and protects lips from the elements.
