Dry Lips? Skip the Stick, Stick With the Gloss

Friday January 6, 2006
Your lips are susceptible to drying because they contain no oil glands. In the winter you may experience chapped lips from licking lips. This winter steer clear of matte lipsticks which tend to be drying while also showing off scaly lips. Instead, try lip gloss. A great gloss (like MAC's lipglass) will prove more moisturizing. For the best lipglosses on the market, check our list of the ones worth buying. Don't want to mess with a gloss? A great hydrating lip balm is Blistex Lip Infusion. it contains lanolin which keeps the moisture in.

Check back tomorrow for our all-time favorite trick for getting rid of scaly lips.
