I've been using this balm for well over a decade now and it has yet to fail me. Its no-nonsense petroleum jelly-based formula works like a treat, sealing in moisture while adding a natural sheen. The flavors are also quite fun (I'm partial to strawberry) and the retro aesthetic adds its own unique appeal too.
If your lips are as horribly dry as mine, you might just want to splurge on this dreamy lip mask. The thick, pleasantly sticky formula has major staying power and will keep your lips hydrated all night. I also sometimes wear it during the day and it has a gorgeous, glowy finish.
I'm a sucker for Farmacy's whole honey-inspired line (have you tried its Honey Potion mask?) and this new addition is particularly good. Made with a natural blend of oils, butters and waxes, it hydrates like a treat. It's also got propolis and actual honey extract, so it's extra nourishing (and tasty) too.
Game. Changer. This ultra-occlusive mask forms a thick, protective layer on lips and does not budge. That means that the admittedly pricey tube will last you forever, since you hardly ever need to reapply. There are lots of flavors to choose from and I find myself partial to the delicious, bronze-y Maple variety.
Sure, regular Vaseline will do you just fine — but for a dollar or so more, you can get it in a cute little tin, with some soothing cocoa butter thrown in for extra measure.
