Photo: Sephora One of the worst beauty qualms we have for winter is how it seems to suck away any and all moisture from our bodies, from our toes all the way up to our once-pouty lips. There's a reason they call it bulking season, and that's not just about snacking. We're smearing on enough skin salve to grease all of our grandmother's cake pans and then some. For those prone to dry, chapped, or cracked winter lips—with a gratuitous cold sore or wind blister thrown in—hope is not lost. There are plenty of lip care products and treatments to solve even the most dire of lip situations, so you can feel good about putting down the lipstick. From longtime dependables you'll likely recognize (looking at you, Vanicream) to trendy new buys like a luxurious lip sleeping mask or fig-scented lip salve, these are 12 of the best lip care products on the market for soothing and healing dry lips. 01 of 12 Vanicream Lip Protectant Amazon Why not start with the one your mother has always said works like a charm? When you can't fit the big original Vanicream tub in your purse, opt for this lip balm instead. Buy It: $5.20; amazon.com 02 of 12 Hanalei Sugar Lip Scrub Amazon Thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by this sugar scrub for making lips feel super smooth and pillowy soft, which is something that dry, cracked winter lips could definitely use. Use twice weekly. Buy It: $15; amazon.com 03 of 12 L'Oréal Pure Sugar Smooth and Glow Grapeseed Lip Scrub Ulta The secret to this product lies in a blend of three different pure sugars, along with nourishing oils like grapeseed and monoi oil that help to hydrate skin as the sugar dissolves away into a gentle exfoliator. Expect insanely soft and rejuvenated lips. Buy It: $6.99; ulta.com 04 of 12 Smith's Rosebud Salve Ulta Odds are, you'll recognize this longtime cult favorite. The salve is simple in ingredients, can be slipped into your purse easily, and coats everything in a protective shield—literally anything. Lips, cuticles, elbows...you get the picture. Buy It: $7; ulta.com 05 of 12 Patchology FlashPatch Hydrating Lip Gels Ulta For starters, these lip gels make any night at home feel way more fun. Place the lip mask on your pout for five minutes and let the serum (which is packed with collagen-boosting peptides and hydrating niacinamide) work some magic. Afterwards, discard the biodegradable lip gel and allow any excess serum to soak into your lips. Buy It: $15 for set of 5; ulta.com 06 of 12 Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Sephora No lip product—and we mean no other ever—feels as luxurious as this shopper-loved lip sleeping mask.

Buy It: $22; sephora.com 07 of 12 Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream If you're looking for a no-fuss skin salve that people have been using for literal decades and decades—seriously, ask your mom—this one will never disappoint.

So, if you have lips that are sensitive to winter weather, you'll be covered. Buy It: $8; amazon.com 10 of 12 Fresh Sugar Hydrating Lip Balm Sephora We're in it for the smell alone on this one.
