The winter holidays bring many hugs and kisses, but we also say hello to cracked lips. Petroleum jelly-based balms may soothe your lips with their thick coatings, but they don’t truly heal chapped lips. Balms with plant-based oils give your lips the nourishment and protection they need against drying out. Read on for our recommended lip polishes and balms for a perfectly soft pout this season!
Lip Polishes
Buff away your lips’ rough patches with FarmHouse Fresh’s Whoopie or Blackberry Wine Lip Polishes. Made with Georgia cane sugar, these polishes gently exfoliate peeling skin. Your lips will taste oh-so-sweet with Blackberry Wine’s just-uncorked berry medley or Whoopie’s freshly baked pie delight.
Farmhouse Fresh’s Whoopie and Blackberry Wine Sugar Lip Polishes are available to purchase for $15 in-store or on our Shop page.
Sheer Balms
Pair your FarmHouse Fresh lip polish with a Whoopie or Blackberry Crush Hydrating Lip Balm. These balms’ jojoba, coconut, and sunflower seed oils deeply hydrate your lips with a single lasting application. Blackberry Crush’s juicy notes and Whoopie’s addictive aroma will have your lips smelling — and tasting! — decadently all day long.
For a fragrance-free alternative, try Comfort Zone’s Skin Regimen Lip Balm. This non-sticky, creamy balm nourishes your lips with its shea butter, sweet almond oil, and avocado extract. You can even apply this balm over your lipstick for a beautiful shine that hydrates your lips whether you’re having a cozy night-in or going out on the town.
FarmHouse Fresh’s Whoopie and Blackberry Crush Hydrating Lip Balms and Comfort Zone’s Skin Regimen Lip Balm are available to purchase for $15 and $22 respectively in-store or on our Shop page.
Tinted Balms
Jane Iredale’s LipDrink Lip Balm will be your go-to this season to quench your lips with a touch of color. This balm’s blueberry extract heals chapped lips with its antioxidant benefits. Its SPF 15 broad sunscreen also protects your lips against UV rays that dry out your lips, even on cloudy winter days. From a peachy pink to a shimmery plum brown, you can find the best shade for your skin tone using Jane Iredale’s Lip Look Quiz.
