Chapped Lips

Biossance Squalane and Rose Vegan Lip Balm // Smith’s Rosebud Salve // Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask // Ilia Natural Lip Wrap

The skin on our lips is thinner than the rest of our body, making it highly sensitive and susceptible to chapping/peeling during cold winter months. If you suffer from chapped lips as temperatures drops – or all year round – keep reading for my 4 favorite chapped lip remedies. You can also find a full list of my winter beauty must-haves on my Amazon Storefront!


Best Budget Remedy For Chapped Lips: Smith’s Rosebud Salve

Chapped Lips: Smith's Rosebud Salve

About The Product

It’s not every day that you read an ingredient list that includes “Trade Secret Perfume Premix (6113806) – formulated by Dr. G. F. Smith in 1892.” Since the iconic Rosebud Salve’s introduction to the lip balm market nearly 130 years ago, this product has amassed quite the cult following. In addition to consistently naming it a best in class lip product, Allure recently dummed this $6 gem the “most useful beauty product of all time.” On the list of cult followers:  Beyoncé, Karolina Kurkova, and Julia Roberts.

Hero Ingredients

Cotton Seed Oil, Trade Secret Perfume Premix formulated by Dr. G. F. Smith

Why I Love This Product As A Chapped Lip Remedy

Not only does this product work magic on chapped lips, but it also doubles as an amazing body moisturizer. I love applying it to dry hands, cuticles, and even my elbows during cold months. The tin packaging makes it easy to bring on the go, and I love that this brand is still family owned and operated.

What Reviewers Have To Say

“I did customer service for years and had to talk all day. Chapsticks and Vaseline lip balm weren’t enough. Then I found Smith’s Rosebud Salve, and it was just…WOW. I put a tiny bit over my lips before I sleep, then another tiny bit just before work, and et voila! No more painfully chapped lips.”

Why I Love This Product As A Chapped Lip Remedy

This is a holy grail product for me; I’ll never go a winter without restocking. I love wearing over lip liner during the day for a natural, shimmery look, and of course overnight for deep, visible hydration. One jar lasts several months for me despite constant application, and the berry flavor is just incredible.

What Reviewers Have To Say

“Absolutely love this lip mask! I apply it every night before bed and wake up with the softest, most hydrated lips. My lips are prone to chapping but now I hardly ever need to apply lip balm during the day. Lipsticks also apply more easily and seem to stay on longer as well.”

Why I Love This Product As A Chapped Lip Remedy

I love the thick consistency of this product – my lips are deeply hydrated and visibly plumper after just a few applications. I love the new tube packaging and apply this throughout the day for long-lasting hydration.

What Reviewers Have To Say

“This really has set itself apart from any other lip balm/treatment mask. Number one the packaging is hygienic, love the squeeze tube. The smell is so light and fresh, but it’s still fragrance free. I love that the product is thick like jelly, but no stickiness. Before I had chronic dryness and my lips would always crack/peel but now they actually feel healed. My trick is to apply is when I’m not eating or drinking anything so the product can really do it’s thing without wiping off. It’s so moisturizing.”

Best Exfoliating Remedy For Chapped Lips: Ilia Natural Lip Wrap

Chapped Lips: Ilia Natural Lip Wrap

About The Product

This dual-action formula hydrates and exfoliates skin, working like a facial to reveal visibly smoother, softer lips overnight. Formulated with clean ingredients (and only dubbed non-vegan thanks to a small amount of ethically sourced beeswax), this product delivers ideal moisture to sensitive lips while you sleep.

Hero Ingredients

Salicornia: Boosts hydration and strengthens the skin barrier for lips that feel smooth and supple
Papaya Enzymes: Gently sloughs away dead skin cells to reveal smoother, softer-looking lips
Hyaluronic Acid: Draws moisture into the skin for lasting hydration

Why I Love This Product As A Chapped Lip Remedy

My lips feel noticeably smoother almost immediately after application , and the lavender-chamomile scent adds to the amazing experience of using this product.

What Reviewers Have To Say

“By far the best lip treatment I’ve ever tried. Goes on smooth, deeply hydrating, and it repairs so well! I am a chronic lip biter and this fixes the worst of it literally overnight. For me, that’s well worth the nearly thirty dollar price tag. It is definitely a splurge product, but a little bit goes a long way. I get a tiny amount on my pinkie finger nail and that’s enough. This is absolutely getting added to my list of regular buys.”
