A tube of lip balm in winter is as necessary as a swimsuit in summer. Chapped lips are a perennial problem in dry winter weather. Lips become so parched with the lack of moisture in the air, that licking them often becomes a quickie solution that only dehydrates them further; this whole process exacerbates white flakiness and increases lip creases and cracks. But fear not, there are lots of lip-smacking products available that will take you on a ‘Jolie’ ride to glossy and gorgeous.
