I have a disturbingly large lip balm collection. The same goes for lipstick, lip gloss, and lip liner. It's because I am not only obsessed with creating the perfect lip combo, but I’m also determined to find the products that give me the softest, smoothest, most hydrated lips imaginable. I value color payoff and texture just as much as long-term efficacy, and I refuse to lower my standards. Chalky finishes and drying ingredients aren’t welcome; I expect my lip products to go on smoothly—and keep my lips supple once they’ve worn off. Long-term results, people!
That being said, I like to think I’ve pretty much perfected the art of creating soft, hydrated, and supple lips. It’s a mini beauty regimen in and of itself, but it’s well worth it if I never have to feel tightness or see a chapped flake ever again. So without further ado: my foolproof routine to achieve the softest lips of your life.
