The heat is here to stay, for now at least and that often means we need to up our water intake, keep hydrated, and stay cool as best we can. The first sign we’re losing more water than we’re consuming is the dry skin, the dry lips, and well basically just feeling like a walking desert.

Do make sure you’re drinking enough water, and try to avoid licking your lips! This doesnt help the situation, even though it might seem like it is.
We all know dry and chapped lips are not a great look, so here are a few lip balms to help soothe them with a boost of moisture and hopefully transform them into the soft, supple lips you want.
-
Vaseline
You could apply some vaseline onto your lips at night before you sleep. It’ll do it’s magic overnight and you’ll wake up with hydrated lips.

-
QV Lip balm
This lip balm isn’t as trendy as your other brands, so it may be overlooked. But it comes equipped with SPF 30 for UV protection and a single tube goes a long way for dry lips.
-
Kiehls SPF 15 Lipbalm
This balm gives a slight hint of colour but is specially formulated for the temporary relief of dry and chapped lips. UV protection included!
-
Mac Lip Conditioner
This deeply hydrates and gets the job done. It may be on the pricey side for a lip balm, but it’s worth the investment if you can afford it.
-
Rosebud Salve
Perfect to keep at your bedside table, or in one of your handbags. This moisturises perfectly!
-
Fresh Therapy Lip Treatment
This brand carries an entire range of different lip balms and lip scrubs, but this has become an instant classic for many.
-
Eos Lipbalm
In its iconic egg shaped packaging, this little buddy does a great job at giving you those moisturised lips. We’re not entirely sure if this is available in Malaysia, but you could do some online shopping or get a friend to buy you some from the States!
-
Burt’s Bees Lipbalm
Another classic that won’t let you down. I have a few of these sticks in various flavours. They last, they do a great job at giving your lips a nice supple feel and the best part is they aren’t overly thick or sticky. The smell isn’t overpowering too.
