Brrr…it’s getting cold out! Kiss dry, chapped lips goodbye with my top 5 picks for lip balms:

Best medicated: Carmex Cold Sore Reliever ($2, drugstore.com)
The soothing menthol and lip-nourishing beeswax provide immediate relief to extremely chapped lips.

Best multi-purpose: Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick ($2, phillypharmacy.com)
I like to use it to soften my cuticles and other rough, dry patches, too.

Best anti-aging: Blistex Deep Renewal SPF 15 ($3; walgreens.com)
Yup, you can anti-age your lips too! This creamy formula has coenzyme Q-10 to reduce your mouth’s deep wrinkles and fine lines.

Best finish: Kiss My Face Organic Lip Balm in ginger mango ($2, discountbeautycenter.com)
The subtle scent (think: tropical paradise) comes second to its velvety finish.

Best SPF: Nivea Lip Care A Kiss of Protection SPF 30 ($3; americanrx.com)
This one nourishes and protects without that weird taste commonly found in other SPF-fortified balms.
