11 Best Lip Balms For Dry Lips That Actually Work

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

This is going to be THE most hydrating product you use in your lip collection. It's an extremely thick lip mask that you use before you go to bed, and let me tell you.... you'll wake up with your lips feeling so buttery and juicy, it's crazy! This stuff is magic. Definitely recommend this one for night time use.

🔥 Hot Tip: At night, I use hyaluronic acid on my lips for ultimate hydration, then I lock it in with this mask and wake up feeling like I got my lips done — so plump and so juicy!

Summer Fridays Lip Balm

I wish I could show you my vanity right now, because sitting right on top is a particularly large bowl filled strictly with Summer Fridays lip balms. I have at least five in said bowl, with even more scattered in handbags in my closet. I love this lip balm so much, I have it in probably every flavor, AND my husband is hooked on them now, too! These lip balms are the most moisturizing without being too thick — a major feat for lip care, if you ask me.

The best flavor? Their newest edition: coffee!

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rose

You can't out-do the do-er! This lip balm has to be one of the most famous options in the lip-balm world. I've heard so many people rave about the Rosy Vaseline Lip Therapy, so I tried it out for myself because I couldn't resist a cult-favorite — it did NOT disappoint. It was a nice flavor, sheer color, and the perfect thickness to a day-to-day lip balm. It gets a 10/10 for me, especially at this price point.

L'Occitane Ultra Rich Lip Balm

I absolutely adore L'Occitane, using multiple products from them on a daily basis! This ultra-rich lip balm is exactly what its namesake proclaims: ultra rich and ultra-hydrating. It's definitely a thicker lip balm than most, which is what I like on days where my lips are feeling particularly dry.

First Aid Beauty Lip Therapy

I've used this lip balm since I was 15, because I struggle with really sensitive skin. I have to stay away from a lot of products due to this, but First Aid Beauty has been a go-to brand for me,because it's sensitive skin-girly approved! It has all natural, soothing ingredients that are great if you have similar skin struggles. This lip balm is simple, moisturizing, and not too heavy. Just what I need!

Tower 28 Tinted Lip Balm

This tinted lip balm is made with incredibly moisturizing and hydrating ingredients like Vitamin E, Marula Oil, and Shea Butter. These all work together in the perfect combo for healing dry lips or cracked skin. And the bonus?! It comes in adorable tinted colors that are light, but still give you a nice, tinted shine to your lips. Try this juicy lip if you're looking for more color in your lip balm!

Aquaphor Lip Repair

There's a reason this has over 27,000 4.7 star reviews — it's just that good! If you're looking for a lip balm on a budget, but still want one that does the job, then look no further! I know people that have been using strictly this lip balm for decades and refuse to go back. So, definitely try this cult classic for ultimate hydration on a budget!

Lanolip's Ointment

This is a cruelty-free lip ointment that is made from Lanolin to help keep your lips moisturized and prevent them from drying out. It's a special oil made from cruelty-free sheep's wool. So interesting, right?! But it's a fan-favorite at the moment for its incredibly rich and hydrating properties.

Supergroup SPF Balm

Even your lips need SPF, too! That's why I love this SuperGoop SPF 30 lip balm — it hydrates, but also shields your skin from the sun, which is so important! As I'm getting older, I'm learning more and more about the importance of using sun protection everywhere in these sunny summer months, so do yourself a favor, and get this sunscreen lip balm! Your lips will thank you in 30 years!

Glossier Balm Dot Com

Glossier has been a reigning lip balm queen for years, and I can truly say that it IS, indeed, the bomb dot com. This salve is much more natural, and I love keeping it with me to apply anywhere on my face that's getting dry or patchy. I'll usually touch up around my nose, lips, and forehead, or wherever is getting the most dry. It's an absolute classic, and this birthday cake flavor is delish!

YSL Candy Glaze

Ending on a bit of a fancy note, this lip balm is a more expensive option, but I've used and loved it for years! It's one of my favorite that I treasure, and I use it whenever I want to treat myself. It gives such a soft glaze that makes your lips feel buttery, smooth! Your lips will be looking plump and glossy in no time after using this YSL balm.
