Finding the best lip balm for your needs is imperative for creating a high-performing, fully-rounded skincare routine. All too often, we neglect our lips, instead focusing on the skin around the eyes or the neck. But no more—as important as maintaining them in winter, you should take extra care of your lips during the summer months, too. Extreme changes in temperature can cause chapping and cracking, which is why many of us suffer sore lips when on holiday or after spending too much time in the garden. So, with summer rapidly approaching, we took it upon ourselves to round up the best lip balms on the market.

From luxury offerings from Nars and Clarins to the affordable salves you can pick up on your weekly shop, there’s a soothing lip balm to suit you, whatever your budget. Click through our gallery below to find your new handbag must-have.
