For long-lasting moisture, Glossier’s Balm Dotcom is full of antioxidants and natural moisturizers such as castor oil and beeswax to nourish your dry, chafed skin. As with all Glossier products, it leaves a natural look, no glossy or shiny finish that make you look like you just devoured the greasiest fried chicken. Personally I would go for the original, which doubles as a skin salve. There are seven fun flavors to choose from, some with a cute sheer tint.

This magic lip balm in a small jar is one of the must-haves in my bag. Your lips are composed of soft tissue and doesn’t have sebaceous glands, hair follicles or melanin. This means that they can’t self-lubricate and are more prone to sun damage if under prolonged UV exposure. Dr. Barbara Sturm Lip Balm is the only one you need to keep your unique, precious lips nourished in the face of harsh cold winds, blasting AC, and more. It’s filled with shea butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, and antioxidant vitamin E. Your lips drink this stuff up, you can also use it on cheekbones or eyelids for a natural glow.
