We Review the Best Lip Balms for a Dry Pout

If you’ve ever dealt with chapped lips, you know how brutally uncomfortable the sensation is. Unfortunately, the bitter cold only makes matters worse. To find relief, arm yourself with hydrating lip balms and use them liberally. Thankfully there’s no shortage of moisturizing lip balms available. In fact, we’re willing to bet there’s a few sitting at the bottom of nearly every purse in your closet. But how do you know which lip balms reign supreme over the rest? We took the liberty of coating our pouts with a handful of lip balms from the L’Oreal portfolio of brands, and we’re offering up our review of them ahead. From drugstore classics to splurge-worthy formulas, scroll through for our reviews of the best lip balms for chapped lips.

VICHY AQUALIA THERMAL SOOTHING LIP BALM
For a soothing lip balm that’ll feel good on your parched pout, reach for Vichy’s Aqualia Thermal Soothing Lip Balm. The paraben-free formula soothes and repairs delicate lips, so they are equipped to look and feel their best even during the harshest season. Pucker up!

MAYBELLINE BABY LIPS IN QUENCHED
The only thing better than a lip balm that glides on smooth and hydrates dry lips is one that also offers SPF 20 protection. Smooth on this cult-classic lip balm in Quenched—the non-scented, non-colored version of the Baby Lips formula—and you can expect a moisturized pout that’s protected against damaging UV rays.
