When choosing a lip balm for the winter, the most important thing is making sure your lips are moisturized and hydrated. However, many chapsticks seem to do the opposite, leaving you with even dryer lips. Many also require you to constantly reapply. The cycle can become very frustrating, so your best bet is to pick a lip balm that will get it right the first time around.

Read on for the 4 top-rated lip balms experts that keep your lips from cracking all winter long.

Promising Review

"I love this stuff. I have really dry lips. They constantly flake, peel, crack and bleed. I used every lip balm imaginable. The only thing that would help briefly is Aquaphor but lip color does NOT go well on it and it doesn’t last long. This lip cream is silky and moisturizes my lips well enough to where I stopped getting cracks and peeling! Amazing. Given, I have to apply it throughout the day. Lipstick goes well on top, making it creamy and smooth. Love it." -Amazon Reviewer
