Did you know that last Tuesday, 6th July, was National Kissing day in the UK? Which got me a-thinking about the best lip salves for curing and preventing chapped lips. Here are some of my favourites:
Prices quoted are for the Republic of Ireland and were correct at time of publication.
Best for Daily Use – Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner (€3.57 for 7ml)
Soothing, conditioning and long-lasting, this lip balm is ideal for everyday use. It contains key moisturising ingredients including Vitamin A, Vitamin E, aloe vera and collagen, as well as an SPF15 which will protect your lips from the sun’s harmful rays.
Best for Repairing Extreme Damage– La Roche Posay Ceralip Lip Repair Cream (€15 for 15ml)
Especially formulated for severely dry or sensitive lips, this soothing ointment will gently restore your lips back to full health.
Best Natural Product – Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm (€3.95 for 8.5g)
Made purely from natural products (including lanolin, sunflower oil and coconut oil) this non-greasy formula offers instant relief to damaged lips. It also contains peppermint oil which gives a refreshing minty scent and tingling feeling!
Best for Preventing Damage – Vaseline Lip Therapy Petroleum Jelly (€1.09 for 20g)
Vaseline Lip Therapy has been used for donkeys’ years as a barrier against harsh elements and is still a market favourite today. With four variations now available – Original, Aloe Vera, Sun Protection and Rosy Lips – you’re bound to find a favourite.
Best All-Rounder – Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream (€30 for 50ml)
Not only does 8-Hour Cream act as an excellent lip salve, it also gives rapid and effective relief to dry skin, abrasions, rashes and burns. Furthermore, it has many cosmetic uses, serving equally well as a lip gloss, highlighting cream, brow gel and lash-thickener!
Now, get kissing!
Yours in style,
Caroline
