EltaMD UV Lip Balm Broad-Spectrum SPF 36

Sun damage “can really tear the lips up,” says Navin Arora, M.D., a board-certied dermatologist and founder of Borealis Dermatology in New York. This is why he recommends EltaMD’s balm, which has broad-spectrum protection. “It’s also water resistant, so this is going to be good if you’re going to go on a ski trip or hikes in the winter,” he says. “It’s going to really protect you in all different environments.”

Blistex Repair and Protect

For chronic chapping, Arora likes Blistex’s medicated lip balms, especially the Repair and Protect formula. It has 45% petrolatum in addition to other occlusives including beeswax, shea butter and lanolin, which makes it “one of the better ones when you have thicker cracking or chronic dryness,” he says.
