\"\"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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Today the options are far more glamorous, so we rounded up six lip balms<\/strong> that keep your pout soft and hydrated<\/strong> all season long.<\/p>\n

Why Everyone Loves Rhode\u2019s Peptide Glaze<\/h1>\n
