Lip Gloss Guru

Do you know which lip balms or glosses are best for dry, chapped lips? The cold weather is making my lips really chapped and uncomfortable.

With V-Day coming up, everyone has kissing (and lips!) on the brain. Unfortunately, it's also ultra icy, which means tons of chapped lips. But don't worry! There are plenty of products that will help you say ciao to cracked, uncomfortable lips. We’ve got your guide to the perfect pucker.
Seek out hydrating ingredients. We’re currently a-buzz over pretty, beeswax balms that come in flattering colors. How sweet!
 
 

Ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil and vitamins keep your lips lookin’ healthy as they heal. Don’t forget to stock up on SPF, too. It may be winter, but you still need to shield your lips from the sun.
 
To give your lips a super-soothing treatment overnight, try applying A&D Ointment or Vaseline right before you hit the sheets.

Exfoliating lips helps get rid of cracked ‘n’ chapped skin. Use a lip scrub after you hop outta the shower. Your pout is lookin’ prettier already.
