As Joey Healy , celebrity eyebrow specialist, owner of Joey Healy Eyebrow Studio and founder of Joey Healy Eyebrow Collection, shared with StyleCaster , it’s essential to adjust your skincare routine during the colder months, including when it comes to taking care of the lips. “Dry air and lower temperatures can cause lips to become chapped, so having a nourishing lipstick or balm on hand is key,” he says.

Plus, if you deal with lip lines, skin picking habits or just terribly dry lips on a regular basis, hydrating lipsticks can offer numerous benefits, like shielding your lip concerns or even helping rectify them—you can thank certain ingredient inclusions for the latter.

What to Look for in a Hydrating Lip Product

In fact, when shopping for hydrating lipsticks or balms, Healy confirms the ingredients can make all the difference. “Hyaluronic acid is a must for locking in moisture, while butters like cocoa butter and shea butter add nourishment. Steer clear of matte formulas and liquid lipsticks that dry down too much, as these can exacerbate dryness.” Instead, Healy notes you should opt for products labeled as “hydrating” or “moisturizing” and look for the key ingredients mentioned above.
