Your lips are susceptible to dryness and chapping due to their delicate nature and lack of oil glands.
Exposure to harsh Australian weather conditions like strong sunlight and wind can cause your lips to become chronically dry. In addition, dehydration and certain medications can also contribute to your lips feeling chapped and uncomfortable. The bad news is that using the wrong products can make things feel worse, trapping you in a constant cycle of applying lip balm.
The best lip balms use nourishing ingredients like oils and butters to moisturise your lips, preventing dryness and discomfort throughout the day. Good lip balms include healing ingredients such as olive squalene, calendula and avocado oil, which can soothe chapped lips and speed up the healing process.
If you want to buy lip balm online, choose a product that provides long-lasting relief and hydration so you’re not constantly looking to reapply it and don’t have the stress of dry, angry lips throughout the day.
How to choose the best lip balm
Botani's Healing Lip balm contains a blend of natural ingredients like jojoba seed oil and olive butter, which are known for their healing properties.
If you want to buy the best lip balm, check the ingredient list to make sure that the lip balm is free of ineffective chemicals such as petroleum and additives. Your lip balm should contain natural ingredients that are beneficial for your lips and be free from paraffin oil and beeswax.
Think about what your specific needs are, whether that be hydration, protection and/or healing. Make sure the lip balm you choose meets those needs.
Lip balms that contain the natural oils of fruit, olives and some flowers will give you the lasting hydration you’re looking for.
Want the best lip balm? Here’s what to avoid
When you look to buy a good lip balm, avoid synthetic fragrances as they can irritate your lips and even cause allergic reactions in some people. Avoid parabens, which can disrupt the body's hormone function and petroleum, which can clog pores and trap bacteria, leading to breakouts around the lips.
Menthol or camphor are also a no-go, as they can cause a cooling sensation, but at the same time, they can also irritate the lips. It's best to choose good lip balms that are free of these ingredients and instead opt for natural, nourishing ingredients.
