Even with winter coming to a close, using a good chapstick is a necessity not only for those with prom dates, but for anyone who likes to avoid chapped lips. Gone are the days where you can get by with Dr. Pepper chapstick or the cheap brands that actually dry out your lips to keep you coming back for more.
If you follow these 5 brands, you’ll never have a cracked lip again!

Aquaphor $1.59/oz Link
You can’t go wrong with Aquaphor, no matter what size or form you choose to buy it in. From lipgloss-like applicators to the large tubes of Aquaphor, all equally soothe and provide immediate and long lasting relief. Not only does Aquaphor include anti-inflammatory properties, it also has no fragrance, which makes it accessible to a much larger group of people. Aquaphor also provides an additional benefit: almost every store and pharmacy sells it.

Vaseline Lip Therapy (2pk)0.16oz each/$2.49 Link
Vaseline is another safe and classic lip therapy option for most people, typically allowing people with sensitive skin an escape from chapped lips. Vaseline provides a soft and rejuvenate result, which remains consistent even without the need for constant reapplication. As a common remedy for dry skin, you can find tubes of Vaseline by going to any Target and most pharmacies.

Laneige .7oz/$24.00 Link
Although the Laneige lip sleeping mask isn’t technically supposed to be used as a “chapstick” but rather as a lip care used overnight, it is still commonly used the same way as you would use any other daytime lip therapy. If properly used overnight, you’ll wake up refreshed with baby soft lips. The only drawback to this product is that it is a little more difficult to find, being that it can only be bought at Sephora, the Laneige website, and Amazon.

Burt’s Bees .3oz/$4.99 Link
Burt’s Bees is a very popular brand for all ages, and for good reason. Some well known brands have been found out for purposely adding ingredients in order to dry out your lips, to keep the product selling. Fortunately for the public, Burt’s Bees is made mainly with Beeswax, and naturally heals your lips. Not only is the natural Beeswax healing, but Burt’s Bees also comes in a variety of flavors to ensure that everyone can find one they like. Burt’s Bees chapstick is very well known and because of this you can find it at most popular stores like TJ Maxx or Walgreens.

Sun Bum .15oz/$3.99 Link
Another well known brand that doesn’t scam is Sun Bum. Not only does it soothe chapped lips, but at the same time it has SPF protection. This combination allows you to heal your lips, and then afterwards protect them from outside dangers such as the sun. Since the skin on your lips is very thin, it is easily burned by the sun, which makes this chapstick so beneficial. Sun Bum may not be as widely known as some of the others on this list, but can still be found at most makeup stores and on the Sun Bum website.
