Winter time can be harsh on your skin, and the plummeting temperatures, cold winds and drying central-heating can especially take their toll on your lips.

If you find yourself suffering from exceptionally dry, sore and chapped lips, a soothing lip balm is a must. From Creme De La Mer’s luxurious balm to Burt’s Bees purse-friendly chapstick, we’ve picked out the best of the best to suit all budgets.

Keep your lips nourished and moisturised with one of the 5 from our list below…

Crème de la Mer The Lip Balm, £42

One of the most luxurious lip balms on the market, and also one of the most effective, a light coat of Crème de la Mer’s Lip Balm will keep lips hydrated and smooth for hours. This little piece of luxury will make you feel special every time you use it, too. Treat your mum this mothers day!

Containing essential rose wax and shea butter, this balm with a hint of pink is one of our absolute all-season must-haves. Whether you’re stranded in a storm or sunning yourself on a beach, Clarins’ lip balm will keep lips soft and kissable. I love to apply this over my base lippy during the day to refresh and moisturise.

Lucas’ Papaw Ointment, from £5.25

Containing fresh fermented pawpaw and unguent Carica Papaya L, Papaw ointment is a multipurpose balm that not only offers relief from chapped lips but can be applied to minor burns, sunburn, bites and minor cuts. It’s a major celebrity favourite, with A-listers. Great on dry elbows.
