Shop the Top 5 Hydrating Lip Balms

Hydrating lip balms are on everyone’s mind as we head into the fall-winter season once again. I don’t know about you, but chapped lips are no fun for anyone, but especially a red lipstick addict who wants a flawless application. There are a lot of factors that go into healing dry and cracked lips, but one of the most important ones is using a moisturizing lip balm or chapstick that actually works. So, here are the top 5 most hydrating lip balms around that you need to shop, plus some ingredients to look out for when you are buying lip balms.

3 Ingredients to Avoid in Lip Balms and Chapstick

1. Alcohol is a drying ingredient…I have zero clue why it would be in a lip balm.
2. Peppermint and Menthol feel great, but they will dry your lips out.
3. Salicylic acid is a great exfoliant prior to applying your lip balm, but not great for hydrating and healing.

The 5 Most Hydrating Lip Balms
