Whether or not you're prone to dry skin, cold weather wreaks havoc on your extremities, causing them to become cracked, painful, and inflamed. Your lips are particularly affected by cold weather, not only because they're relatively far from your core, meaning their temperature drops quicker than other body parts, but also because they possess a high proportion of cold-receptive cells. For this reason, if you're looking to avoid getting dry lips in the cold weather, it's absolutely vital to make use of a lip balm to ensure you're protected, and that your lips are getting the necessary hydration.
If you have drier skin and lips, the best lip balm for you will have a high ratio of emollients to other ingredients. These form a protective, moisturising barrier between your skin and the outside world, effectively preventing moisture from escaping your lips. For some, minimalist lip balms with a higher concentration of natural ingredients will be better, as this will help to prevent irritation. For others, however, factors such as SPF will be the most important when considering which SPF to pick up. In this post, we've taken you through the best lip balms for dry lips on Mankind. Check out our full lip care range.
