Whenever your lips feel a little parched or chapped, resist the urge to lick your lips – saliva contains specific enzymes that break down the fats and proteins on your lips, and actually leaves your lips drier than before.
Instead, reach out for a stick of lip balm, which are a convenient way to hydrate your lips on the go. Many lip balms contain skin replenishing and restoring ingredients that not only help to nourish your lips, but enhance their skin barrier in the long run.
Here, we list the 10 best moisturising lip balms for you to achieve silky, soft lips.
This is such a classic lip balm simply because it gets the job done. With signature ingredients of beeswax and vitamin E, a swipe of this gives your lips a naturally moisturized lip appearance without an overly glossy effect, and seals in moisture to prevent flakiness in the long run.
