Before you grab another matte lippie, make sure your lips are moisturized! It’s going to be hard (and painful) to pucker up with an extremely parched pout. Check out these five lip balms that will help soothe your lips back to luscious.
5. Lucas’ Papaw Ointment
From the Land Down Under, Lucas’ Papaw Ointment has found its way to the Philippines and easily became a crowd-favorite. The main ingredient is fermented fresh papaya mixed with pharmaceutical grade petroleum jelly and wax, and then scented with gum balsam from Peru.
The emollient is best known for moisturizing really dry lips and skin, but it also has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that soothe sunburns, insect bites, rashes, minor burns, cuts, and minor open wounds.

4. Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm
Celebrities and beauty enthusiasts swear by Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm for its versatility and sweet rose and peppermint smell. Made of Trade Secret essential oils and pure peppermint oil, the salve is effective in treating sensitive lips and skin with parchedness and irritation, as well as relieving headaches and tension.

3. Aquaphor Immediate Relief Lip Repair
For the ladies with peeling and cracked lips, Aquaphor Immediate Relief Lip Repair is the solution to your woes. It contains shea butter, vitamin e, and chamomile essence in its thick consistency which help in locking in and restoring the moisture in your lips over time.

Easily accessible and affordable, the Medicated Lip Balm by Burt’s Bees uses 100% natural ingredients like cocoa, kokum, and shea butter. The formula alleviates dehydration from lips, and eases cold sores and irritation from the cooling effect of menthol and eucalyptus extract.

1. Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1
There’s a reason why there was an outcry among supporters of Kiehl’s when the brand changed Lip Balm #1’s packaging from jar to tube. The balm has built a cult-following of its own thanks to its hydrating and smoothing formula which consists of key ingredients such as squalane, aloe vera, and vitamin e.
