Flaky, dry lips are a drag. But soft lips aren’t always easy to maintain, especially as we head into chillier weather — and particularly if you’re not using the right products . So we’ve rounded up some of our fave items for keeping your pout healthy and hydrated. Like an overnight lip mask, all-natural lip scrub, and SPF lip balm that’ll protect your smackers all season long. *Chef’s (pillowy-soft) kiss.*

And will leave your lips feeling hydrated in the morning. Skimm HQ'rs love — and we mean love — this famous Laneige overnight lip mask. Apply a generous layer over your lips before bed and let the vitamin C and antioxidants work their magic. This one comes in seven different scents and three bundles and includes an applicator to help keep your fingers clean. Plus, you can wear it during the day for a glossy, healthy look. Your obsession will be real, promise. ($19+, Amazon )

It’s made with Hawaiian cane sugar for exfoliation, kukui oil for hydration, and shea butter to lock in moisture. Simply take a pea-sized amount and massage it onto your dry lips, let it sit, and then wipe away. Bonus: All ingredients are natural, vegan, and cruelty-free. Pucker up. ($15+, Amazon )

Because nothing’s worse than a flaky matte lip. Before you put on your lipstick, apply this primer so it’ll go on smoothly. It’s a color-free base that’ll leave those little lip lines filled in, moisturized, smooth, and refined.
