Our 4 Favorite Lip Balms for Fall

It’s no secret that the change in season plays a big role in the condition of our skin. When temperatures become cooler and the weather becomes windier—in the fall and winter, for instance—our skin can be more susceptible to dryness. That’s why it’s crucial to moisturize each and every day, all year round—period. For our pout, that’s where lip balm comes in. Now that it’s officially fall and subsequent drops in temps are among us, you shouldn’t leave home without a lip care product in your purse. Below, find our four favorite lip balms that’ll help hydrate a parched pout—all season long.

Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1

Step one of protecting your pout? Going out and buying Lip Balm #1. The formula—with soothing emollients squalene lanolin, wheat germ oil, and vitamin E—temporarily helps protect lips from the drying effects of wind and cold weather. You won’t regret your decision, trust us.
