How to Choose the Right Lip Balm
Unlike other areas of your face, your lips don’t have oil glands¹, which means if they don’t get the proper TLC, they’ll become dry, cracked and sore. The solution? A good lip balm. Take a peek at (or shall we say, pucker up with) these options…
If your lips are: Dry and cracked
Maybe it’s wintertime and the effect of Mother Nature and the elements have taken a toll on your lips. Or maybe it’s summertime and the activities outside (and potential lack of proper hydration) are preventing your lips from getting the water they need. Either way, the dryness, flaking and cracks your lips are experiencing have become too much bear. Looking for a lip balm for dry lips?

If your lips are: Chapped
Yes, the environment has a lot to do with dryness of your lip skin, but frequent licking can, too. Your saliva actually deprives your skin of moisture! Coupled with the fact that the skin on your lips is actually thinner than other parts of the body, you’ll want a product that will help repair dry lips, not just coat your lips.
