With the cold weather comes a handful of beauty woes. The worst one of all? Chapped lips. While having dry and chapped lips is a common issue that is often overlooked, ignoring the problem can lead to incredibly dry and itchy lips that can sometimes take weeks, sometimes months, to heal — especially if prone to experiencing seasonal eczema flare-ups. To prepare you this season, we’ve put together a list of the best lip balms and treatments that we love to help you protect your lips this season.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
While this technically a sleeping mask, we’ve considered it to be a must-have pocket essential. Enriched with Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants, this formula has a supple, no-sticky balm texture that forms a protective film over the lips to lock in moisture and active indigents for a refreshed and soft touch.
Shop it: Sephora, $26
Bite Beauty Agave+ Daytime Vegan Lip Balm
Made cruelty-free, this soft-textured balm delivers up to eight-hour hydration with an orange-vanilla scent. Formulated with agave nectar, mongongo oil and cocoa butter, it glides on smooth for comfortable wear and no waxy feel.
Shop it: Sephora, $18
Carmex Classic Lip Balm
Best known for its iconic yellow squeezable tube, this medicated formula maintains its rep after decades of protecting and soothing dry, chapped lips. Not only does it provide long-lasting barrier protection to promote healings, but it glides on to the lips smoothly with a cooling boost of menthol.
Shop it: Amazon, $8
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment
This award-winning lip balm has earned its cult-favourite status for providing 24 hours of smooth, healthy and visibly fuller lips. Made with sugar, sea fennel and orange extract, it helps reduce the look of fine lines and loss of firmness.

Rosebud Lip Balm Minted Rose
The multipurpose balm is designed to relieve chapped lips, skin, rashes, burns and rough, dry cuticles. Not only is it easy to use and insanely versatile, but it’s also made without sulphates and parabens.

Blistex Lip Medex
Best for relieving sore, itchy lips, approved by doctors, this tried-and-true formula instantly restores the skin’s moisture balance and delivers a cooling sensation to soothe irritants and swelling. For the best results, avoid exfoliating the lip area and apply consistently for up to a week.

Avène Cicalfate Lips Restorative Balm
Featuring a lightweight, creamy formula, this lip must-have contains a complex of purifying properties to help nourish and repair chapped lips and localized areas. Made with the French label’s iconic Thermal Spring Water, it soothes fragile skin and is safe for the whole family to use.
