As temperatures begin to drop, it's only a matter of time before your lips start to feel dry and flaky. But with the right lip balm, you can all but avoid chapped lips.

Basically, if there was ever a time to stock up on lip balm, it's now. That's why I found the best lip balms, oils, and masks that are hydrating and nourishing. The result? A juicy moisturized pout that is no match for the cold.

You can never go wrong with budget-friendly options from Vaseline and Aquaphor, which have been around forever and have amassed a cult following. 

When you're out and about, opt for something that delivers a sheer wash of color you can layer over a liner, like e.l.f.'s viral lip oil or the plumping wet lip oil from Kosas. These provide the shine and pigment of a gloss but the nourishment and hydration of a balm.

You might also want to look out for lip balms formulated with peptides and ceramides as these ingredients lock in hydration and strengthen your lips fragile skin barrier. The iconic Rhode lip treatment is a great choice.

Applying a lip mask, like the one from Naturium that feels luxe but is affordable, before bed is another way to ensure that you wake up with nourished lips.

Get rid of dry, chapped, flaky lips for good with these ultra-hydrating lip balms, oils, and masks from Laneige, summer Fridays, Prequel and more.
