UZ by Flowfushi 38°C/99°F Lip Treatment, $20 The terms "lactic acid bacteria" and "lip treatment" used in conjunction with each other might cause a bit of cognitive dissonance... but luckily for you (and your lips), it turns out they're a match made in heaven.
You see, the lactic acid bacteria actually is a prebiotic that helps balance the microbiome of your lips, which in turn helps them to retain moisture. This is to, in the brand's own words, "break the cycle of drying then reapplying your lip balm over and over." It's a big promise, but you know what? This lip treatment keeps its word.
For context, I'm that person with perpetually chapped lips who always has like ten lip balms rattling around in her purse — and I applied it this morning and my lips feel uncommonly hydrated and comfy. It's quickly becoming my new go-to.
Another thing this lip treatment has going for it? Well, it doubles as a gloss/tint — and the shade selection is at once innovative and imminently wearable. So far, my favorites are the +1 Sheer Pink and the copper-flecked -4 Black shades (don't worry, even though the black looks intimidating, it's just as daily wear-appropriate as the sheer pink). I also find myself quite drawn to the -2 Sheer Green shade. There's even a clear semi-matte option if you're not a gloss person!
