As a guy who has had issues with chapped lips for a long time, I’ve tried many lip balms on the market. Using lip balms for men may sound funny, but winters make my lips pretty bad. I have used many balms over the years, based on their availability, some have been absolute lifesavers, while others were nothing short of disappointing. So, after putting my lips through the ultimate test, here are my top 5 picks:
1. Nivea Men Lip Care: Well, I think a lot of men have used this because it is a classic. Nivea Men Lip Care has been a staple in my grooming kit for years. I think this is the best and most affordable. It’s a no-nonsense lip balm that does exactly what it’s supposed to: hydrate. The formula is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves a subtle shine. It’s perfect for daily use and won’t make your lips feel greasy.
Price: ₹115.
2. Vaseline Men Lip Therapy: Vaseline is almost synonymous with moisture, and their men’s lip therapy lives up to the hype. When I used it the first time, I found Vaseline lip balm thicker than Nivea. So if you have extremely dry and chapped lips, this one will be perfect for you. It creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture and helps your lips heal. The only downside is that it can feel a bit heavy for some.
Price: ₹160
3. Himalaya Herbals Lip Balm: For those on a budget, Himalaya Herbals Lip Balm is a solid choice. It has natural ingredients like aloe vera and wheat germ oil, which help soothe and nourish your lips. I like the texture of this lip balm because it is lightweight, and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue.
Price: ₹40
4. Burt’s Bees Men’s Complete Lip Care: If you’re looking for a natural option, Burt’s Bees Men’s Complete Lip Care is worth considering. It contains beeswax and shea butter, which provide intense hydration. The balm has a subtle mint flavor that gives a refreshing feel. While it’s a bit pricier than the other options, the quality is just amazing.
Price: ₹399
5. Kiehl’s Lip Balm Number 1: If you’re willing to spend, Kiehl’s Lip Balm Number 1 is a luxurious option. It’s packed with emollients and has a subtle, refreshing scent. The balm provides long-lasting hydration and leaves your lips feeling soft and supple. While it’s on the pricier side, but I was able to use it once, thanks to my brother, a little quantity goes a long way.
Price: ₹900
One suggestion, no matter what brand you choose, be consistent. For good lips, you need to keep your lips hydrated throughout the day, and this can be achieved only using proper application. Also, try to stick to one brand as I decided on Nivea, you may choose the one that suits you the best.
