Find Your Perfect Lip Balm In Our Edit

The Best Lip Balms for Dry Lips to Buy in 2023 | Space NK
They’re at the bottom of every handbag, on our desk, our nightstands, and our pockets… lip balms are essential. After all, nobody enjoys the feeling of dry and cracked lips. Not all lip balms are not created equal though; some formulas can transform your lips in minutes, while others can leave them feeling enough more dehydrated.

How To find The best lip balm for your lips

When it comes to choosing the right lip balm, ingredients like hyaluronic acid or squalane are what deliver lasting hydration. You can go for the classic lip balm in a stick form, it’s easy to apply and carry everywhere. If you have extremely dry and dehydrated lips, you’d be wise to seek out a lip mask. It’s all about finding the one that works for you. If you still don’t know what the best lip balm for your lips is, we’ve got some inspiration for you. We have tried and tested more than a handful and selected the best lip balms for dry and chapped lips.
