The big beauty debate: Is lip balm a daily essential or an addictive vicious cycle?

A close-in image of someone applying lip balm, with a picture of beauty writer Annie Milroy and Rhiannon Derbyshire alongside it.

As a beauty team, there are some things we can always agree on. The importance of wearing the best facial sunscreen every day, how the best mascaras are also the cheapest, and which are the top-tier biscuits in M&S (ideally the bakery cookies, but we'll also accept the shortbread).

There are some things, though, that we have wildly differing opinions on. Double cleansing, the K18 VS Olaplex debate, and how often to use a hair mask. Debates happen daily across our beauty desk, and we thought we’d finally get to the bottom of some of our most heated clashes.
