With winter coming, and us preparing for new snow adventures, many of us don’t think about the cold affecting our lips. We do care about the skin, hair and other parts of our bodies, but lips are too often forgotten, when, in fact, they are the only part that cannot protect itself.

According to LipSmart, unlike most other areas of your skin, your lips contain no oil glands and cannot generate their own hydration. But, caring for your lips will not only save you the pain and the ugly bleeding, it will also add softness, reduce dryness and make you a much better person to kiss. Because of that, we are going to suggest some lip balms made especially for men that will provide the ultimate care to them. And, no, it is not unmanly or anything like that. Trust us, ladies will appreciate.

What you should pay attention to when buying a lip balm

There are so many out there, but in our list you probably noticed that certain ingredients are often mentioned. That’s because they are highly beneficial for your skin and they will help your lips recover much quicker – like Shea butter, Jojoba oil, vitamin E and C. Those are the words you should be using when picking a balm for yourself. Also, make sure it doesn’t leave gloss on your lips – you want one that will make them matte.

UVA and UVB protection is also very important, even if you think that it’s winter and it doesn’t matter – you’re wrong. Find ones that have it, as well as an SPF – the higher it is, the better.

In the end, make sure you are not allergic to any of the ingredients – you could make more damage than good to yourself.
