Best Lip Balm for Chapped Lips: Winter Lip Care Tips
Why Do Lips Get Chapped in Winter?
Lips are more susceptible to dryness and cracking because they lack oil glands and have thinner skin compared to the rest of your body. Without proper care, lips can become:
- Dry and Flaky: Cold weather and indoor heating strip moisture from your lips.
- Windburned: Harsh winds can irritate and inflame your lips.
- Sunburned: UV rays reflected off the snow can lead to sun damage.
Addressing these issues requires a two-step approach: exfoliating dead skin and applying high-quality lip care products.
Step 1: Exfoliate Dead Skin
When your lips are dry and chapped, they often develop a layer of dead skin. This prevents lip balm from penetrating and doing its job effectively. Gently exfoliating your lips can remove this barrier, allowing your lip balm to work its magic.
How to Exfoliate Your Lips
- Choose a Gentle Exfoliator: Our Bamboo Face Polish is perfect for this. Made with natural, fine bamboo particles, it gently buffs away dead skin without being too abrasive.
- Apply the Exfoliator: Take a small amount and gently massage it onto your lips using circular motions for about 20–30 seconds.
- Rinse and Pat Dry: Wash off with lukewarm water and pat your lips dry with a soft towel.
Exfoliating 1–2 times a week is enough to keep your lips smooth and prepped for hydration.
Step 2: Hydrate and Protect
After exfoliating, it’s time to nourish your lips with a deeply moisturizing balm. Our Lip Balm is packed with certified organic, nutrient-rich ingredients that hydrate, heal, and protect.

Why Layering SPF Lip Balm is Essential
While moisturizing your lips is crucial, you shouldn’t stop there. Just like the rest of your skin, your lips need protection from UV rays, even in winter. Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, making sunburn a real risk.
We recommend layering our All Good SPF Lip Balm on top of your regular lip balm. This SPF lip balm doesn’t moisturize but provides effective sun protection, ensuring your lips are shielded from harmful rays.
Key Ingredients in All Good SPF Lip Balm:
- Beeswax: Provides a protective layer against environmental stressors.
- Calendula and Comfrey Extracts: Soothe irritation and promote healing.
- Raspberry Seed Oil: Offers natural UV protection.
- Vitamin E: Protects against free radicals and enhances skin repair.
How to Build a Winter Lip Care Routine
