15 best lip balms

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Lip balm was used in the last century, only then it was called hygienic lipstick, and the cosmetic industry did not please with a variety. It was a regular stick with a colorless composition that was versatile. It was applied by both adults and children in all seasons of the year, so that in winter the lips do not become chapped and in summer they do not become dry. Today, balms are significantly different from regular lipstick. They do more than just protect against environmental factors. The formulations include useful components that have a narrowly targeted or multifunctional effect.

Balms are classified into several basic types:

1. Nutrients contain a large amount of vitamins to maintain healthy skin during winter. They have a dense, dense texture due to the oils included in the composition and reliably protect against frost and wind.
2. Moisturizers are used in the hot season. They contain plant extracts that not only instantly relieve tightness and dryness, but also help to normalize the hydrobalance. The balms have a light consistency, almost not felt on the lips.
3. Sunscreens create a barrier from exposure to ultraviolet radiation. They are used during outdoor recreation. Balms help to maintain youthfulness of the skin, stop the effects of free radicals that lead to photoaging. Their formulas contain UV filters, just like protective body creams.
4. Medicines are used in cases where it is necessary to eliminate an already existing problem. They can have wound healing, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory effects. Such balms are more related to pharmaceutical cosmetics, and are mainly used not regularly.

The release forms are varied. These are the usual sticks, as well as tubes, glass or plastic jars, bottles with applicators.

The beauty industry does not stand still, and today you can buy products of any orientation and any price category. Employees of our magazine studied the reviews of ordinary customers and compiled a list of 15 best lip balms, which became the undisputed leaders.
