To heal chapped lips
Our lips get thinner with each passing year, but top that with moisture-sapping winter elements, and they’re left feeling dry and looking extra deflated.
A-list secret to stunning: Aquaphor Lip Repair (Target.com). “I can’t live without Aquaphor. I put it on my lips like it’s going out of style,”
Drew Barrymore has said about the lip hydrator. “I have the tiny tube, I have the industrial tube, I have the tub—I have all of it.”
How it works: The ointment’s glycerin draws moisture from the air into skin to rehydrate lips, its shea butter has fatty acids that further hydrate while castor oil’s antioxidants repair damaged skin cells to mend chapped skin, says dermatologist Erum Ilyas, M.D. What’s more, castor oil’s oleic acid stimulates collagen production to plump lips for a fuller, more youthfullooking pout. To do: Apply a layer of the balm onto lips twice a day. Repeat daily for hydrated and plumper lips in one week.
