Winter arrives with its cozy rituals, from steaming mugs of cocoa to scarves pulled up to the nose. Cold air and indoor heating, however, quietly steal moisture from our lips.

People have fought this battle for a long time. In the 1880s, a Virginia doctor named Charles Browne Fleet even invented a pocket-size lip balm stick to win it.

Today the options are far more glamorous, so we rounded up six lip balms that keep your pout soft and hydrated all season long.

Aquaphor Lip Repair Rescues Seriously Chapped Lips

Aquaphor, Lip Repair, $ 4.79

When lips feel cracked and sore, Aquaphor Lip Repair steps in like a cozy first-aid kit. Its fragrance-free formula, enriched with shea butter and soothing chamomile essence, calms very dry lips and seals in long-lasting moisture. Best of all, it costs less than a latte.

Laneige Works the Night Shift

Laneige, Lip Sleeping Mask Berry, $ 24

Apply a generous layer of the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask before bed and wake up to plush, velvety lips. The cult formula pairs an antioxidant-rich berry fruit complex with nourishing shea butter, so your lips look smoother by morning.

A Vanilla Treat From Summer Fridays

Summer Fridays, Lip Butter Balm Vanilla, $ 24

The Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm feels like dessert, with a sweet hint of vanilla. Shea and murumuru seed butters soften parched lips, while a plant-based lipid complex leaves a glossy finish. It also doubles as an overnight mask.

Why Everyone Loves Rhode’s Peptide Glaze

Rhode, Peptide Lip Treatment, $ 20

Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment gives lips a juicy glaze in a single swipe. Peptides help smooth and visibly plump over time, while shea butter and vitamin E lock in moisture and shield against winter stressors.

Glossier’s Balm Dotcom Does It All

Glossier, Balm Dotcom Original, $ 16

A true multitasker, Glossier Balm Dotcom nourishes dry lips with castor seed oil and a blend of plant antioxidants. Dab it on cuticles or rough patches too, because this little tube is famously versatile.

Dior Adds a Custom Flush of Color

Dior, Dior Addict Lip Glow 001 Pink, $ 42

For a touch of luxury, Dior Addict Lip Glow reacts to the natural pH of your lips to reveal a custom rosy flush. Infused with cherry extract and shea butter, it hydrates for hours and keeps lips looking smoother.
