Cold Weather Lip Care Tips
Expert tips for healthier lips — plus the product we’d hand you to actually get there.
What to do.
Simple, repeatable habits. Read them once, use them forever.
Apply lip balm before going outside
Cold air is dry air. Always create a protective barrier on your lips before stepping into winter weather. Organic Beeswax-based balms like Numbrrrz are especially effective against cold and wind.
Avoid licking your lips in the cold
The urge to lick is strongest in winter, but it's the worst thing you can do. Saliva freezes and evaporates rapidly in cold air, making chapping significantly worse.
Use a humidifier indoors
Heating systems strip moisture from indoor air, often dropping humidity below 20%. A humidifier in your bedroom and living area maintains moisture levels that protect your lips even when you're inside.
Reapply every 2-3 hours
Winter conditions demand more frequent application. Keep a tube of organic lip balm in your coat pocket, desk drawer, and by your bedside for easy access throughout the day.
Choose organic over petroleum
Petroleum-based lip balms seal without hydrating, which is the opposite of what winter-stressed lips need. Organic oils like coconut and jojoba penetrate and deliver genuine moisture beneath a protective beeswax barrier.
Apply a thick layer before bed
The overnight hours are critical for lip repair in winter. A generous application before sleep provides 7-8 hours of uninterrupted nourishment while your body does its natural repair work.
