I'm the type of person that has to put lip balm on at least once a day, or else my lips will feel dry. The trouble is, it's hard to find many that I truly love.
Some other lip balms I've used in the past:
- Figs & Rouge 100% natural balm in Sweet Geranium
Love the tin! |
- Natural Ice
- Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm
- Nivea Lip Care Star Fruit in Pink Grapefruit
- Softlips
- Vaseline
I'm sure there are more, but it's hard to think of them now. Should also mention that I used some of these lip balms so long ago that my opinion of them may change by now. I found this to be particularly true for Burt's Bees - when I first tried it over a decade ago (gosh, has it really been that long?!), I didn't really find it was all that noteworthy. I decided to try it out again a few years ago, and just couldn't believe what I had been missing out on all of those years - it felt much nicer than I remembered!
I've found over the years that I have the following requirements for a lip balm:
- Moisturizes my lips for at least 2 hours
- Not too expensive (definitely less than $10 each)
- Feels smooth on my lips
Bonus points: I really enjoy minty/menthol flavors, nice packaging, and if the product didn't look totally gross by the time I finish it up (unless it's really really bad, I try to use everything up). Extra plus if the ingredients are good for you!
But anyway, these are the lip balms I'm currently using:
