Gentle and soothing, this treatment heals the driest of lips. (Amazon)
Our lips are just starting to recover from the winter blues, and we'd really like to fast-track that process. If there's anyone who knows something about curing dry skin and chapped lips, it's someone who works at a high altitude where the air is always cold and dry. Our aviation pro's pick? Cliganic USDA-Organic Lip Balm — and right now, you can get a pack of six for just $10 at Amazon.
These leggings are so comfy that this just might be the year you look forward to working out.
"I've tried a lot of eye creams," says Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini. "And, for my money, CeraVe makes the best drugstore depuffing/under-eye brightening treatment currently on the market. Not only does it feel good on your skin (absorbs quickly, no gross pilling), it's also fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic. Olivia Wilde loves it, along with thousands of reviewers, who say it's like Botox in a cream. I'm not sure about that claim, but I do know this is a quality skin care staple at a price everyone can afford."
At over 40% off, it's within a dollar of its best price all year.
These formulas are packed with good-for-lips ingredients like coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, shea butter and cocoa butter.
We've only seen this set of lip balms drop lower than its current price a few times, so if your lips are thirsty after a long winter, you might want to jump on this deal.
We had a chat with pilot and aviation enthusiast Duke Armitage. He gave us the lowdown on everything he considers essential when he's working above the clouds, listing Cliganic USDA-Organic Lip Balm as a must-have. It's packed with good-for-lips ingredients like coconut oil, sunflower seed oil, shea butter and cocoa butter for long-lasting moisture. This blend nourishes lips and shields against chapping, cracking and other signs of dryness. This pack comes with six flavors: Mint Burst, Citrus, Beeswax, Eucalyptus Mint, Vanilla and Coconut.
More than 21,000 shoppers' lips are already on the mend, thanks to this balm.
"This is, hands down, the BEST lip balm that I have ever used," gushed this convert. "I have been using it for less than 12 hours and my dried, cracked lips are healed and feel better than they have in a very long time! It goes on smoothly without dragging and feels amazing!"
"During winter, my lips get choppy and dry," shared a five-star fan. "I use this lip balm during that time and my lips stay hydrated and moisturized. If you happen to taste it, it is not pleasant but the smell is incredible. My favorite is citrus and eucalyptus mint."
"Love how long it stays on your lips, even if you're a lip licker like me," raved another buyer. "Keeps lips moist all day."
"I've been trying to heal my lips ... because they're always dry and peeling," a fourth fan wrote. "Since I've been consistent with using this product during the day, my lips look and feel so much better. Overall, it's a great product. I'm so glad I found this because none of the other lip balms I use ever seemed to help until this one."
"The only peeve I have is I wish they had an easier way of peeling off the part around the cap to open it," wrote one stickler of a shopper. "Other than that, I love this!"
"This is a nice pack with pleasant and light flavors," said a final user. "It keeps my lips moisturized, but I feel the need to apply it often. Maybe because it doesn't have an oily texture, making it easy to wear off. That's not to say that it is not effective because it is."
