Best lip balm for this winter season

Winter can leave your lips dry and cracked, needing extra care. As lips do not have oil glands to naturally hydrate themselves, they call a lip balm that acts as a protective barrier. It locks in moisture, nourishes, helps heal cracks and prevents further damage. Many lip balms claim to provide hydration for lips, but they often contain alcohol, aldehydes, silicones, and surfactants that could irritate your skin.

Which could be the perfect pick for you? Natural lip balms are your best choice as they are made with safe ingredients that hydrate, soothe, and protect your lips without harmful chemicals. Natural lip care products are a safer and more effective option. They keep your lips soft, moisturised, and healthy all winter long.

What makes a good natural lip balm?

Having the best lip balm for winter can make all the difference. Here are some top ingredients to look for to keep your lips healthy and plump.

• Avocado oil: Packed with vitamins A, D, and E, it moisturises dry, chapped lips and helps heal cracks. It also provides long-lasting hydration.
• Shea butter: With vitamins A and E, it nourishes and repairs your lips, locking in moisture even in the coldest weather. It is your go-to for cracked and dry lips.
• Grapefruit oil: This antioxidant-rich oil protects lips from environmental stressors and dryness. It brightens dark lips, leaving it soft and hydrated.
• Lemon essential oil: High in vitamin C, lemon oil helps reduce lip pigmentation caused by sun damage or dryness, keeping your lips soft and supple.
• Soy milk: It softens rough skin, repairs damage and keeps the lips moisturised all day. It nourishes, smoothens and leaves it winter-ready.

Your lips still need sun protection, even in winter. This non-tinted lip balm with SPF 30 PA+++ is packed with nourishing soy milk and defends your lips from UV rays. It is buttery and non-sticky, making it perfect to wear under lipstick.

Why is lip exfoliation essential for good lip health?

Exfoliating your lips is super important during the winter. The cold weather can make your lips flaky, and if you skip exfoliating, your lip balm will not work as effectively. A good Lip Scrub helps gently slough away the dead skin, letting your lip balm absorb deeper for better hydration. A nourishing scrub will keep your lips soft and supple, preventing rough patches and leaving them rejuvenated.

Easy winter lip care routine

Step 1: Scoop a tiny pinch of Lip Scrub, gently massage onto your lips for 2 minutes to exfoliate, and wash it off with water.

Step 2: Dab an even layer of lip balm on your lips. Apply it in the morning, before bed, and at any time during the day whenever your lips feel dry.

A quick tip: Use the Lip Scrub only once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliation.
