Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

Chapped lips and winter go hand-in-hand. And that means that you’re going need a lot of chapsticks and lip balms on deck to help alleviate any dryness and cracking. Traditional chapsticks seem to work for most people, but if you’re looking for something that hydrates AND adds a pop of color, then you should definitely be using a lip oil.

Lip oils have become a hot new beauty essential as they are versatile and help you keep your glam on point. They’re moisturizing, nourishing, tinted and can even help to minimize the appearance of fine line and wrinkles on the mouth. Seriously, they’re straight up magical!

Ready to ditch your chapstick and lip balm for a trendy lip oil? Here are some of our favorites on the market right now:
