Five Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balms To Grab This Winter
Five Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balms To Grab This Winter
By Khanak Mehta
We know that by now you must have at least a basic skincare routine in place, along with a pretty extensive beard care regimen, too. While all of these are major ticks on your grooming checklist, make sure that you’re not forgetting one key step: Applying lip balm.
The cold, dry winter air can wreak havoc on not just your skin, but your lips, too. After all, the skin on your lips is much thinner than the skin on your face and needs extra-nourishment along with protection.
To make it easier for you, we put together five of our top lip balm picks. These have no colour or tint, and are small, power-packed formulas that are easy to carry in your pocket and reapply throughout the day. Keep reading to know our favourites!
