What is lip balm?

Because the skin on the lips is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face (with the exception of the skin around the eyes), it requires a bit more hydration, protection and TLC to look and feel healthy. Especially when we consider the natural elements like cold, wind and sun, protecting the lips isn’t just a good idea—it’s necessary for maintaining smooth, moisturized and pain-free lips. That’s where lip balm comes in!

Unlike lipstick or lip gloss which mainly provide color, shine, and dimension to lips, lip balm is a thicker, wax-like lip product that’s typically formulated with hydrating butters and oils to seal in moisture and prevent evaporation, all to protect and heal lips and prevent future chapping and damage. Choose from various scented, unscented, untinted, or tinted lip balms, lip balms with sun protection or multi-action lip balms for improved color and protection from the elements.

For instance, if you want a tinted lip balm that contains sun-blocking ingredients to prevent burning, the jane iredale LipDrink Lip Balm SPF 15 can deliver all of these benefits and more in seven gorgeous colors. Another great tinted lip balm with SPF is the COOLA Tinted Mineral Liplux SPF 30.

Since lip balm contains hydrating oils and butters that leave a protective coating on the lips, it’s not recommended to layer lip gloss or lipstick over your lip balm, which is another reason why tinted lip balms make a wonderful, versatile beauty product.

Sometimes, a tinted lip balm just isn’t necessary, which makes our other lip balm products perfect, especially if you have severe lip discomfort. For instance, if you have ultra-dry or Accutane-treated lips in need of superior hydration, the FixMySkin 1% Hydrocortisone Healing Lip Balm is a worthy contender.

Developed by LovelySkin CEO and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Joel Schlessinger and his son Dr. Daniel Schlessinger, this lip balm is made with hydrating beeswax, shea butter, cocoa butter and 1% hydrocortisone that all come together to help minimize irritation and promote healing that other common lip balms and treatments can’t provide. In fact, it can even be used to help with common skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, bug bites and allergic reactions! Enjoy the soft vanilla scent or the unflavored formula and take this skin-credible lip balm with you on the go without fear of it melting at high temperatures.
