It's not flashy; it doesn’t come in pretty packaging and is unscented in its original form. Glamorous it isn’t but this product has been my trusty companion since my first Surrey winter because it absolutely does what it says on the tin (tube). Having grown up in Dubai, I had never really experienced a proper winter. We have two seasons in the UAE- Hot and Hotter. When the cold arrived, the freezing wind and rain made it so I couldn't feel my face, my lips bore the brunt of the exposure. I tried everything from high end brands to plain old Vaseline but nothing seemed to work. Then, I found ‘the one’- Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 to be exact. Two things set it apart from the multitude of wannabes. First of all, I am comforted by the fact that I can actually pronounce the active ingredients. Cotton seed oil and bees’ wax are combined to give this product its hydrating and healing properties. It’s nice not to put chemicals on your mouth. In addition to this, its thin consistency makes it easy to apply over cracked lips. Once on, it absorbs quickly into the skin and gets to work. Almost instantly, your lips feel less reptilian. All natural before it became fashionable; Kiehl’s also have a great recycling programme so don't forget to hand in your empties!
