When it comes to anti-aging skincare routines, most women strictly focus on their face and neck and neglect another important area: The lips. Your lips are a prominent part of your face and undergo the same aging effects as the rest of your skin–and they could use a little TLC, too!
That being said, it’s important that you have the right products in your wheelhouse to combat the common signs of aging in your lips to prevent dryness and wrinkles. Thankfully, there are countless products that are geared towards repairing this sensitive area by using nourishing and hydrating ingredients that will help plump them up while also promoting collagen production.
But, the best lip balms always have SPF Broad Spectrum protection, which is essential for preventing premature aging from the sun and any further free radical damage.
Here are some of the best hydrating lip balms that we think every woman over 40 should be using. Trust us, they’re super effective and are perfect for any summer skincare routine:
Farmacy Honey Butter Beeswax Lip Balm ($10)
This natural lip balm doubles as a primer and helps to moisturize, condition, protect, and prep lips with the brand's own Echinacea GreenEnvy, honey, beeswax, and cupuaçu butter. These ingredients work together to lock in moisture, filling in fine lines and improving the lip's natural volume and softness.
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 ($7.50)
This emollient balm soothes and relieves dry, chapped, irritated lips using a powerful combination of skin conditioners and antioxidants like grapefruit, ginger refresh, shea butter, avocado oil, vitamin E and green tea extract. Together, they keep the lips protected from free radical damage, refreshed, and soothed.
Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm ($18)
This moisturizing and volumizing lip balm nourishes the super-delicate lips for noticeably plump, youthful-looking lips. It's formulated with an exotic blend of avocado, mongongo, cranberry, and marula oils to deeply moisturize, replenish, hydrate, and soften delicate lips. A rare combination of peptides and sea fern algae plump up the appearance of lips and deliver a better definition to the lip line.
Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment ($26)
This lip treatment enhances the volume of the lips and smooths the look of wrinkles by providing 24-hour moisture. It acts as a primer for long-lasting lipstick and even comes in a sheer pink shade for those who want to add a little color!
Algenist Genius Liquid Collagen Lip ($35)
This collagen-improving lip treatment delivers benefits for fuller, younger-looking lips. It suspends botanical lip enhancers and hundreds of beads of microalgae oil in collagen water to the lips, as well as active plant collagen and Algenist's naturally-sourced Alguronic Acid.
Mario Badescu Lip Balm Tube ($8)
This ultra-rich and nourishing lip balm is infused with cocoa and shea butters, coconut, sweet almond, raspberry seed, and avocado oils that moisturize the lips to replenish them and keep them healthy.
