The Team’s All-Time Favourite Lip Balms & Masks
Jenn George, Beauty Director
Honey Glaze Collagen Therapy Lip Mask, £24 | Gisou
“This is a new addition to my lip care collection but it has become an immediate favourite. It’s so thick and buttery, and I swear it’s made my lips not just softer but plumper too. I smother it on at night or apply a light layer the morning to sit under my chosen lip colour.”

Lip Balm, £22 | Sync Beauty
“Sync Lip Balm delivers instantly softer, smoother lips with hydration that actually lasts. The texture is silky, never sticky, and makes my lips feel instantly more comfortable. The clever on-and-off twist means no leaks, no mess, just a balm you can throw in your bag and go.”

Lip Sleeping Mask, £19 (was £21) | Laneige
“There’s something that makes my routine feel so luxe when I end it with a Laneige Lip Mask. I keep it next to my bed and it’s the very last thing I do before going to sleep – I always wake up with the softest lips.”

Sapna Rao, Fashion & Beauty Editor
Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant, £14.40 (was £18) | Elizabeth Arden
“This multi-use balm is always in my bag, desk drawer and suitcase. It feels more like an ointment – really thick, healing and protective – but it works well as a shiny gloss too.”

Lip Butter Balm, £23 | Summer Fridays
“I’m a lip balm addict – tubes, pots and sticks live on my desk, bedside table and line every single coat pocket. I’m rarely loyal to just one, but the Summer Fridays Butter Balms hit differently. Silky and deeply conditioning, these will bring your lips back from the brink, leaving them smooth and cushiony-soft. The limited-edition ‘Hot Cocoa’ shade is so cosy.”

Nutritive Lip Balm, £68 | Sisley
“I have a real love affair with luxury lip balms. Given the splurge, my expectations are high but Sisley always delivers. This will save you when your lips are going through it, plus, it’s thick enough to use as a mask but also works well under lipstick.”

Nana Acheampong, Fashion Broadcaster & Editor
Slick Salve Lip Balm, £14 | Topicals
“There’s always a lip product in my bag and Topicals’ lip balm has truly earned cult status for me. I’ve been devoted since the original minty launch but the tinted version has become my favourite. It delivers serious hydration with the high-shine finish of a gloss, leaving lips looking plump, smooth and healthy. The squishy slanted applicator makes it so easy to use too.”

The Kissu Lip Mask, £27 | Tatcha
“The Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask gets my vote for two equally important reasons: it is both the cutest lip mask I have ever seen and the most effective one I have used to date. I use balms most days (the Millennial habit runs strong) but when it comes to travel, I upgrade from balm to mask for that extra hit of hydration. This luscious jelly lip mask, made with moisture-sealing squalane and revitalising Japanese peach, brings my lips back to life, time and again.”

Balm Dotcom, £16 | Glossier
“I love Glossier’s Balm Dotcom, especially in the Black Cherry flavour. The scent is quite nostalgic for me and I like the subtle colour it imparts whilst also moisturising your lips.”
