Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1

As if the name didn’t give it away, this soothing, creamy lip balm is truly at the top of its game. Helping to soothe and protect chapped lips by shielding your pout from the harsh drying effects of wind, this balm is a must-have in your skin care arsenal. The balm has a blend of squalene—a naturally hydrating botanical lipid and a signature ingredient of the brand—vitamin E, aloe vera, and wheat germ oil to soften and soothe your lips.

The Body Shop Hemp Lip Conditioner

If your lips are in need of a little extra TLC, this is the balm for you. It uses a blend of oils to moisturize and soothe lips—including hemp seed oil which is known for its ability to hydrate very dry skin. It’s ideal for those who spend more time out in the elements and can even help to restore the skin’s moisture barrier.
