I’m indoors for the most part, and I also live in Arizona, so “winter” lasts about two weeks (where it is cold for a sustained period of time, lol), which helps! I use Sara Happ’s lip balm at night, and I use Jack Black Lip Balm in the day if I have time (I often just start testing lip products as soon as I get up).

Oh gosh….this is topical as my lips were so chapped yesterday… I have a very bad habit of picking my lips when they get chapped and that only makes things worse. I also have the feeling that masks don’t help – the paper fibers and constant abrasion – it’s sort of like rubbing your lips with a kleenex all day. Last night, I used some Fresh lip scrub to get off the bits of dead skin that would have tempted me to pick them off and then slathered on a thick layer of Nuxe lip balm (it’s one I don’t like much because it’s so waxy and ugly) but it really helped. I need to remember to keep doing it throughout the day, though!
I use the same product year round, Paula’s Choice Lipscreen, even at night… which for some might seem odd since it has SPF. I find it hydrating enough for any season, once it gets colder I simply need to apply it more often. Their balm in a pot is a very good option for winter, but I hate needing to apply it with my fingers.
Another “not so usual” thing I do is to apply moisturizer or face oil on my lips as well during my nighttime skincare routine… I’m already putting it on my face, so why neglect the lips?
Got in the habit of making sure that I got my nighttime face moisturizer and Marula Oil on my lips before applying Laneige Gummi Bears Lip Mask or Jack Black Lip Balm at bedtime.
I don’t change lip products with the season. I use Bite Agave Lip Mask (the discontinued one, still have nearly a full tube) at night. Daytime I use Supergoop Açaí SPF 30 balm before I go out and I reapply after eating. My lips have not been too chapped in the last year because I am often wearing a mask when outdoors to stay warm.
To keep my lips hydrated during winter I use Dermal’s lip balm in a pot format. This one works well on me.
I’ve been using a Treat Beauty lip balm because I was finally gifted one that doesn’t smell or taste gross, and I want to use it up before it starts to. It’s been keeping my lips very soft and smooth.
I use my Laneige mask in Choco Mint at night when I remember to, again to use it up because it’s nothing special but it was a gift and seems to work – but so does a much cheaper lip mask.
Trying to find this product (Lip Slip) because it looks so moisturizing from what I’ve read. Having a hard time finding it. Sold out at Ulta – any other ideas of where to find it?
I use Kiehl’s Lip Balm No. 1 during the day and Nuxe Reve de Miel lip mask before going to bed. They’re amazing!
I have huge love for ILIA lip wrap. I used to swear by Tatcha Camellia Gold Spun, but I find Ilia superior in terms of locking in moisture. If is Fahrenheit meets Celsius cold, I Bite lip scrub first.
