Are Your Lips Flaking Off Too? Here Are 12 Excellent Balms

Whenever the cold hits our lips fall off, right on cue, becoming flaky, dry and pale and in desperate need of some TLC. We all know that moment: if the chat in Vogue House is anything to go by, the time is now, as the beauty team have been inundated with best lip balm enquiries.

“The skin of the lips is particularly thin, with a very superficial network of blood vessels, so in the cold and dry weather, they’re particularly prone to losing hydration and the epidermal barrier easily becomes compromised,” says aesthetic doctor, Dr David Jack. “Then you get dry, chapped and cracked lips which can swell and even bleed.”

What we need to focus on when the cold hits – as much for lips as we do for skin – is delivering ingredients that work hard to hydrate and bolster our skin’s barrier while, of course, delivering the kind of soft, healthy sheen that one only achieves when skin is healthy. “Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 and ceramides, which are fatty acids that help maintain the normal epidermal barrier,” recommends Jack.

This autumn, as fate would have it, we’ve also been treated to an array of new lip products that are as luxurious as those we use elsewhere on our bodies. From those that help plump up lips to trusty softening formulas, here isCharlotte Tilbury Hot Lips 2 - Enigmatic Edward Charlotte Tilbury's lip product homage to Vogue's Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful, is a shea butter, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera-infused balm-stick that feels as silky as it looks.
