"I just was blown away by the flavor and I kept on thinking about it."</p><p>So Kurtz started experimenting with chili-infused honey in his college apartment, where he created Mike's Hot Honey in 2004.</p><p>"And for six years it was just a hobby," Kurtz said. "I was making it for myself, for friends and family."</p><p>Fast forward to 2010, and Kurtz introduced his concoction to Paul Giannone of Paulie Gee's while working as an apprentice at the Brooklyn pizzeria.</p><p>"He tried it, he loved it on the pizza," Kurtz told BI. Paulie Gee's began drizzling the honey on its pepperoni pizzas.</p><p>"People started asking me where they could buy bottles and I started selling it off the bar there in November 2010," Kurtz said.</p><p>Over the years, he started working with other restaurants and specialty retailers. Whole Foods was the first large grocery store to start selling the honey in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.grubstreet.com/2014/09/hot-honey.html">2014</a>.</p><p>Now, Mike's Hot Honey is available in between 30,000 and 40,000 retail stores and more than 3,000 restaurants, Kurtz said. The business's revenue is roughly 60% retail and 40% food service, he said.</p><h2 id="bcfbfad6-2483-4993-8af0-abcddccb4c7e">Hot honey has seemingly endless applications</h2><p>Hot honey is "kind of like a peanut butter and jelly thing," Matt Wessel, owner of the Milwaukee Pretzel Company, which sells a hot honey mustard, told BI over the phone. "It's just one of those things that when you pair them together, it makes a lot of sense … It's a really palatable food pairing."</p><p>Hot honey feeds into the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-food-trends-mashups-birria-ramen-spice-swicy-functional-comfort-2024-6#swicy-3">"swicy"</a> trend for sweet and spicy food. And its versatility means it can be used in seemingly endless combinations, encouraging chefs to get creative in the kitchen.</p><p>"Because honey is so versatile as a sweetener, but also as a topping … it's a great base to add the heat to," Wessel said. "It can be used in so many different applications." Across restaurants, grocery store shelves, and home kitchens, hot honey is being added to tacos, chicken waffles, potato chips, and ice cream.</p><div type="image" title="A photo of the hot honey chicken French toast at Maison Pickle, showing a row of plates of the French toast in the restaurant's kitchen." height="2501" width="3335" msid="111207752" hostid="261" sizebytes="275160"></div><p>"Hot honey has become the new American flavor," said Jacob Hadjigeorgis, owner of Maison Pickle, a bar and restaurant in Manhattan that started serving a hot honey chicken French toast in 2019. He told BI over email that it was the US's answer to other cuisines' sweet and spicy sauces.</p><p>At Zalat Pizza, a Dallas-based pizza chain, there's been a recent rise in sales of its pizza with salami, bacon-onion jam, and hot honey, first added to its menu in 2022, CEO Khanh Nguyen told BI via email.</p><p>Customers can also pay $2 to add a swirl of hot honey to Zalat's other pizzas, which Nguyen said was especially popular with its pepperoni and mixed meat pizzas.</p><div type="image" title="The Sweet Revenge salami, hot honey, and onion jam pizza from Zalat Pizza, displayed in a box" height="1704" width="2671" msid="111207890" hostid="261" sizebytes="280328"></div><p>UK canned and bottled cocktail company Tom Savano Cocktails has been experimenting with hot honey in the drinks department. It launched a hot honey margarita earlier this month — it also sells a spicy mezcal margarita with Scotch Bonnet chilies and agave.</p><p>Sweet cocktails are always in demand, and spicy flavors are very popular at the moment. "So you throw anything spicy and sweet together and that was always going to be a home run," founder James Kerslake told BI over the phone. The company developed two versions of the cocktail for consumer testing, and ended up deciding on the spicier version, even though Kerslake acknowledged it may polarize people with a low-spice tolerance.</p><p>Cooking magazines and TikTokers alike have been scrambling to find new ways to incorporate hot honey into dishes. But as for Kurtz, the man behind the best-known hot honey brand, his favorite ways to serve it are drizzled on a pepperoni pizza, used as a glaze for salmon, and paired with goats' cheese.</p>

Hot honey is the sweet and spicy flavor on everyone's lips, from pizza to cocktails. Here's why it's America's newest food obsession.

Best lip scrubs in India

<ul class="summary-list"><li><keyword id="12476568" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="chapped-lips" source="Orion">Chapped lips</keyword> remedies include petroleum jelly, aloe vera, honey, coconut oil, and sugar exfoliation.</li><li>Applying petroleum jelly after lip balm can lock in moisture on your <keyword id="12105410" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="lips" source="Orion">lips</keyword> and keep them hydrated.</li><li>Putting honey on your lips can help moisturize them and relieve sores caused by chapped lips.</li></ul><p>Chapped lips commonly occur when your lips are dry, sore, or cracked. You may get chapped lips when the weather is cold and dry, or when you are dehydrated. Unlike the rest of your skin, your lips<a href="https://www.thepmfajournal.com/features/post/anatomy-of-the-ageing-lip" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> don't have oil glands</a> and can't produce any natural oils to prevent it from drying. This means without proper care, your lips may dry out often.</p><p>If your favorite lip balm isn't doing the trick to get rid of chapped lips, then you should try out these five easy home remedies instead. </p>Table of Contents: Masthead Sticky<h2>1. Apply petroleum jelly </h2><p>Petroleum jelly is a key ingredient in many lip balms because it helps provide the skin with a protective barrier to lock in moisture. This is essential because it prevents your lips from drying out. </p><p>But petroleum jelly is an <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1468-2494.2012.00752.x" target="_blank" rel="noopener">occlusive</a>, which means that it will only protect your lips from moisture loss, rather than providing moisture itself. The best way to use petroleum jelly for chapped lips is to:</p><ol><li>Apply lip balm first, to provide moisture to your lips.</li><li>Lock in the moisture with a layer of petroleum jelly.</li></ol><p>In rare cases, some people might encounter an <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6649569_Allergic_Contact_Dermatitis_Caused_by_White_Petrolatum_on_Damaged_Skin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allergic reaction to petroleum jelly</a>. If you experience any swelling or stinging when using it, you might be allergic and should discontinue use immediately. </p><h2>2. Try aloe vera </h2><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/aloe-vera-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aloe vera</a> is a succulent plant that produces a moisturizing gel. It works by pulling moisture from the air into the surface of the skin. This helps to keep your lips hydrated and prevents them from drying out.</p><p>Aloe vera also contains molecules called <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2763764/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polysaccharides, </a>which helps moisture bind to your skin, keeping your lips hydrated. It is especially helpful for cracked lips since the polysaccharides encourage the skin to generate new cells, which helps sores to heal quickly. </p><p>You can grow your own aloe vera plant and get the gel from its leaves, or buy some aloe vera gel at your local beauty store. Some people experience allergic reactions to aloe vera, so it's advisable to do a patch test for possible allergic reactions first. </p><h2>3. Use honey </h2><p>Honey is a great remedy for chapped lips because it's a <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24305429/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">humectant</a>, meaning that it pulls moisture from the air into your lips. Honey is also known for its <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3758027/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healing properties</a> and may help relieve sores and cracks caused by chapped lips. </p><p>In addition, honey has antibacterial properties that prevent you from developing an infection from these cracks and sores, says <a href="https://www.facialartistrymd.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Konstantin Vasyukevich, MD</a>, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, and skincare expert, affiliated with Beth Israel Medical Center and Jacobi Medical Center.</p><p>"Honey works as a mild exfoliator and can help remove dry, dead skin from the lips," says Vasyukevich. </p><p>Here's how you can use honey to moisturize your lips:</p><ol><li>Use a clean finger or a cotton swab to put a thin layer on your lips. </li><li>Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and then wipe it off.</li></ol><p>Honey is sweet, so resist the urge to lick it off, as this will only worsen your chapped lips. A great way to avoid this is by applying it before you go to sleep, and leaving it on overnight.</p><h2>4. Rub coconut oil </h2><p><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6335493/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coconut oil is an emollient</a>, which means it's great for locking in moisture in your lips and preventing them from drying out. </p><p>Coconut oil also has anti-inflammatory properties. This means that it can help relieve the pain and discomfort that sometimes accompanies cracked lips. Coconut oil's <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23769156_Novel_Antibacterial_and_Emollient_Effects_of_Coconut_and_Virgin_Olive_Oils_in_Adult_Atopic_Dermatitis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">antibacterial properties</a> also help to keep your lips germ free, preventing you from getting an infection from the open sores. You can also combine it with some sugar and use it as a gentle exfoliant to help you get rid of the dead skin cells on your lips. </p><h2>5. Do sugar exfoliation </h2><p>When dead skin cells build up on your lips, they prevent your lips from getting the moisture they need. Gently exfoliating your skin with a <a href="https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/homemade_sugar_scrubs_for_skin_care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sugar scrub</a> helps to remove dead skin cells caused by chapping. </p><p>Making a sugar scrub is easy. All you need to do is follow these steps: </p><ol><li>Put one tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of coconut oil or honey into a bowl.</li><li>Mix thoroughly and use a clean finger to apply the scrub onto your lips.</li><li>With the scrub, gently rub your lips in a circular motion for a minute. </li><li>Wipe off the excess scrub when you are done.</li><li>Apply petroleum jelly or some coconut oil, to restore moisture.</li></ol><p>Make sure to always follow a sugar scrub with a moisturizing treatment. "If you forget to moisturize following lips scrubs, it can actually worsen chapped lips," Vasyukevich says.</p><h2>How to prevent chapped lips </h2><p>Your lips get chapped when they are dry, which is why keeping them well moisturized at all times is the best way to prevent chapped lips. </p><p>You also want to avoid licking your lips when they are dry. While using saliva to moisten your lips might seem like a logical way to combat dryness, it actually causes your lips to dry out even quicker. Instead, use a lip moisturizer or one of the homemade remedies above. </p>Related Article Module: The best lip balm for dry lips<p>"The best way to prevent chapped lips is to be consistent with the lip moisturizing treatments you use," says Vasyukevich. "Ensure that you are applying moisturizer multiple times throughout the day, and adjust applications based on the climate or weather conditions. If you are living in colder, dryer temperatures, it is best to use these treatments on a more regular basis." </p><h2>Insider's takeaway </h2><p>Chapped lips can be a pesky problem. But to get rid of them, there are many natural remedies you can whip up at home, with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. You can also use a combination of these home remedies to help you get rid of your chapped lips permanently.</p><a data-type="5f2310703ad86101961f4513">The best facial cleanser ingredients for each skin type, according to dermatologists</a><a data-type="608c28b80c26755a705d8c2e">A lip flip can give you fuller, poutier lips in 20 minutes: Here's how the Botox procedure works</a><a data-type="5eebb04faee6a80138279db5">These are the best, most effective ingredients you should look for in a moisturizer</a><a data-type="60941ba5df0dbb54571723ae">How lip fillers can give you plump, pouty lips and what to expect from the procedure</a>

5 home remedies for chapped lips that work better than lip balm alone

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Lip pimples can be caused by lipstick, sweat, poor diet, and hormonal changes.</li><li>If you have a lip pimple, don't squeeze it, apply salicylic acid, and use a warm compress.</li></ul><p>If you've ever gotten a pimple at the edges of your lips, you know how painful it can be. It is not uncommon for people to get pimples in this area, says <a href="https://www.yalemedicine.org/specialists/christine_ko" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christine Ko</a>, MD, a dermatologist at <a href="https://www.yalemedicine.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yale Medicine</a>. </p><p>Like pimples you get elsewhere, these pimples are also caused by <a href="https://kidshealth.org/en/teens/acne.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blockages or inflammation</a> in your pores. However, they tend to hurt more because the skin around your lips — with over <a href="https://jamaicahospital.org/newsletter/7-amazing-facts-about-your-lips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">one million</a> nerve endings that sit close to the surface — is thinner and more sensitive than your other skin, says Ko. </p><p>"Both lip pimples and cold sores can pop up on the border of the lips, and a lip pimple can be mistaken for a cold sore," says Ko. However, <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/sex-relationships/are-cold-sores-herpes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cold sores</a>, also known as oral herpes, are caused by the herpes simplex virus and treated with antiviral medication. Ko says cold sores look more like blisters than pimples and are often accompanied by flu-like symptoms or a tingling sensation before the sore appears.</p><p>Here's what you need to know about pimples around your lips and what to do if you get one. </p><h2><strong>How to get rid of a pimple around your lips</strong></h2><p>If you do get a pimple around your lips, here are some steps you can take to help it heal:</p><ul><li><strong>Don't squeeze it: </strong>It can be tempting to pop a pimple, especially if it's painful, or if it's making you self-conscious. "It's generally not a good idea to pop pimples as it can result in scarring," says Ko. </li><li><strong>Cleanse your skin:</strong> "Cleanse your skin well with a gentle cleanser and either a washcloth or your fingertips," says Ko. This can help get rid of any dirt or bacteria that could make the acne worse. Use a mild cleanser to wash your face <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne/skin-care/habits-stop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twice a day</a>. Scrubbing your skin hard or using harsh chemicals can irritate your skin and worsen acne. Dry your skin with a clean towel — but <a href="https://www.insider.com/tiktok-swapping-towels-for-disposable-face-cloths-acne-breakouts-2023-4">disposable towels</a> aren't necessary. </li><li><strong>Apply a warm compress: </strong>Ko recommends applying a warm compress to the pimple to help it heal. This is especially helpful for pimples that have developed whiteheads. Soak a washcloth in hot water and apply it to the pimple for <a href="https://www.aad.org/news/how-to-treat-deep-painful-pimples" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10 to 15 minutes</a> at a time, three to four times a day, until the pimple releases pus and the skin heals. </li><li><strong>Avoid touching your face: </strong>Apart from resisting the urge to squeeze the pimple, you should also try to avoid touching your face, as that can introduce dirt and germs to the site. </li><li><strong>Wash up after you sweat: </strong>Perspiration can worsen your acne, so make it a point to wash up if you get all sweaty. You should also wash your hair every day if it tends to get oily. </li><li><strong>Use benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid: </strong><a href="https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/hw199202" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benzoyl peroxide</a> can help unclog your pores and kill the bacteria at the site. <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne/DIY/wont-clear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Salicylic acid</a> can help reduce inflammation and dry out the pimple. Both products are commonly used to treat acne and Ko says they can help treat a pimple around your lips as well. You can buy creams, gels, lotions, and cleansers that contain these ingredients over the counter, although stronger ones may require a prescription. Follow the directions on the package or apply a small amount to the pimple <a href="https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a601026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">once or twice a day</a> for three days. If you experience discomfort or a reaction, stop using it and consult a doctor for safe alternatives. Be sure that you're not using another product that is making the pimple worse, like one with <a href="https://www.insider.com/skincare-products-that-cause-acne-breakouts-2023-4">heavy oils</a>.</li><li><strong>Take prescription medication: </strong>If you are prone to frequent breakouts or persistent acne, you can visit a dermatologist for treatment. Retin-A is a common prescription medication for acne. "If you have a prescription for Retin-A, that can also be helpful as a longer-term preventative treatment," says Ko. Spironolactone is another popular medication for hormonal acne, but it can come with <a href="https://www.insider.com/spironolactone-acne-treatment-side-effects-dizziness-fatigue-2023-2">some side effects</a> including dizziness and low blood pressure. </li></ul><h2>What causes pimples on lips?</h2><p>The skin at the edge of your lips is loaded with pores that each contain a sebaceous gland that secretes oil. When that oil gets blocked underneath the surface by dirt, grease, make-up, or something else, the pore can become irritated and inflamed, causing a lip pimple.</p><p>While some people may be <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/12233-acne" target="_blank" rel="noopener">genetically</a> more prone to acne, these are some factors that can contribute to pimples around your lips:</p><ul><li><strong>Greasy foods: </strong>When you eat greasy foods, some of the grease can get transferred to the skin around your lips and cause acne, says Ko. Cleaning your face with a mild cleanser can help get rid of this grease and reduce your chances of developing acne. </li><li><strong>Lipstick: </strong>Lipstick, lip gloss, and lip balm can get into the pores around your lips and result in acne, according to Ko. If you're prone to acne, pick non-comedogenic beauty products; these are products that are specially formulated to not block your pores. Also, beware of getting lipgloss on the skin above your lip. This is called the vermillion border and getting thick lip gloss on it can clog your pores.</li><li><strong>Hormonal changes: </strong>Hormones known as androgens can cause the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. These hormones increase during puberty and may also fluctuate at certain points in a person's menstrual cycle. Medication and <a href="https://www.insider.com/does-birth-control-help-acne" target="_blank" rel="noopener">birth control</a> pills can help regulate hormonal imbalances and treat acne.</li><li><strong>Medication: </strong>Some medications, like those containing testosterone, corticosteroids, and lithium can cause acne. If these medications are the culprit, talk to your doctor about other options.</li><li><strong>Diet: </strong>Some foods, like desserts, fried foods, or dairy products, may cause acne in some people.  For instance, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6115795/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research</a> shows that consumption of dairy products is linked to a higher chance of developing acne, although the <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/diseases/acne/causes/diet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Academy of Dermatology</a> says the reason why isn't known; one theory is that the hormones in dairy products may cause inflammation. If you notice that a certain food is triggering acne, try to avoid that food to prevent breakouts. Additionally you can also improve your skin by treating your microbiome (the ecosystem of healthy bacteria in and on your body) through daily <a href="https://www.the-dermatologist.com/article/role-microbiome-acne?page=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">probiotic</a> use. </li><li><strong>Stress:</strong> According to the <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/acne/symptoms-causes/syc-20368047" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayo Clinic</a>, stress may not necessarily cause acne, but it can exacerbate it. Try to find healthy ways to manage your stress levels; doing yoga, meditating, and making time for hobbies can help.</li></ul><h2><strong>Insider's takeaway</strong></h2><p>Pimples around your lip are a form of regular acne and are not uncommon; however, they may hurt more because the skin in that region is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on other parts of your body. </p><p>Avoid popping these pimples or touching your face as far as possible; instead, apply a warm compress to the zit, cleanse your face with a mild cleanser, and wash up if your skin gets sweaty or your hair gets oily.</p><p>You can use products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to help dry the pimples out, or see a dermatologist for prescription medicine, to treat the problem long-term. </p>

Even when people are concerned with protecting their skin, they often forget to take care of their lips as well. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But in reality, sun protection for your lips is just as if not more important. Our lips have a thinner layer of cells compared to the rest of our skin and they contain less melanin, the pigment that helps protect our skin from the sun. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As someone who has seen her fair share of unfortunate sunburns, I can honestly say that besides the back of your knees, your lips are also one of the most painful spots to get a sunburn. The easiest way you can prevent burned lips is to invest in a good lip balm that offers SPF protection.

The effect is more like, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"What? My lips are just naturally flushed this perfect shade of violet!"</span></em></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unlike traditional lipsticks or even lip stains, tinted balms have all the moisturizing power of clear balms, but they're dosed with a hint of pigment.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Some of the best ingredients in <keyword id="808139" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="lip-balm">lip balm</keyword> are castor oil and hemp seed oil to help soothe chapped lips.</li><li>Choose balms that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, and make sure to drink plenty of water to help hydrate chapped lips.</li><li>You don't need a lot of ingredients in lip balm, you just need ones that work.</li><li>This article was <a href="https://www.insider.com/insider-medical-review-board" target="_blank" rel="noopener">medically reviewed</a> by <strong><a href="https://www.visagederm.com/about-us/dr-st-surin-lord/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharleen St. Surin-Lord</a>,</strong> MD, a board-certified dermatologist at <a href="http://www.visagederm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visage Dermatology</a> and assistant professor of dermatology at Howard University.</li></ul><p>Lip balm is great for relieving dry, tingling, or chapped lips. It can also serve as a preventative measure to maintain full, healthy lips, says <a href="https://mdinseattle.com/about-modern-dermatology/our-physicians/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Heather D. Rogers</a>, MD, a dermatologist with Modern Dermatology in Seattle. </p><p>However, with so many options available it's hard to know which lip balm is best for your needs. Find out which ingredients work best to soothe your lips, and which you should be cautious of.</p><h2><strong>Lip balm ingredients</strong></h2><p>There are a variety of ingredients used in lip balms. When choosing a brand, review the ingredients to make sure you're getting the best care for your lips. </p><p>"Less is more when it comes to ingredients to heal chapped lips," Rogers says. You don't need a lot of ingredients to make a difference, you just need ones that work. </p><p><strong>Castor oil: </strong>Castor oil is made from castor beans and has long been used in various medicines. It penetrates the skin better than other vegetable oils, says Rogers. Castor oil and hemp seed oil are among the oils recommended by dermatologists to help soothe chapped lips, according to the <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/dry/heal-dry-chapped-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Academy of Dermatology</a> (AAD). </p><p><strong>Honey: </strong>Honey is considered a <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24305429/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">humectant</a>, which means that it attracts moisture. As a lip balm ingredient, honey can help exfoliate lips and keep them hydrated and healthy, says <a href="https://www.advanceddermatologypc.com/doctors/jennifer-m-wong/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer M. Wong</a>, a dermatology physician assistant with Advanced Dermatology PC in the New York metro area.</p><p><strong>Lanolin: </strong>Lanolin is a type of wax secreted by woolly animals such as sheep. It can relieve irritated lips because it helps to seal in moisture. One <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5849435/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> found that it was able to reduce water loss in the skin by 20% to 30%. </p><p>Although lanolin has moisturizing qualities, an estimated 1.2% to 6.9% of the general population is allergic to lanolin, according to a <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30624788/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 study</a>. Some may not even know they are allergic until they use a lip balm that contains it. A rash, redness, or burning on the skin or lips are signs of an allergic reaction, and you should stop using that product, according to the <a href="https://www.aaaai.org/conditions-and-treatments/library/allergy-library/contact-dermatitis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology</a>.</p><p><strong>Petroleum jelly, petrolatum, and mineral oil: </strong>Even before its commercial discovery in the <a href="https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/Vaseline2015.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1800s</a>, humans have used petroleum jelly or petrolatum as an ointment. Mineral oil is one of the ingredients in petroleum jelly. Both petroleum jelly and mineral oil are commonly used in lip balm because they trap moisture, Wong says. They also can help heal chapped lips, according to the <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/dry/heal-dry-chapped-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AAD</a>. </p><p><strong>Shea butter and cocoa butter: </strong>Shea and cocoa butter are both natural types of fats that come from the shea tree and cocoa bean, respectively. Butters, like shea and cocoa, help your lips hold on to moisture and help heal chapped lips, according to the <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/dry/heal-dry-chapped-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AAD</a>. </p><p><strong>Tocopherol (vitamin E): </strong>Vitamin E is an antioxidant that has been used in cosmetic products for at least 50 years. <a href="https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/antioxidants-in-depth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Antioxidants</a> are substances that help prevent or delay cell damage and are beneficial for skin care. </p><p>Vitamin E is commonly used in lip balm, although a small percentage of people — a little under 1%, according to a <a href="https://journals.lww.com/dermatitis/Abstract/2010/07000/Allergic_Contact_Dermatitis_from_Vitamin_E__The.2.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010 study</a> — are allergic to it. To help avoid a potential allergic reaction, choose lip balms without vitamin E, or make sure it's far down on the ingredient list, says Rogers. </p><p><strong>Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide: </strong>Just like your skin, your lips are sensitive to the sun, and too much sun can cause them to chap. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are common in sunscreens for both skin and lips because they help block UV rays. </p><p>This also helps prevent certain pre-cancers of the lip, like <a href="https://dermnetnz.org/topics/actinic-cheilitis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actinic cheilitis, </a>and skin cancers such as <a href="https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/squamous-cell-carcinoma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">squamous cell carcinoma</a>.  Since UV rays can also trigger cold sores in people who are prone to them, a lip balm with sunscreen will also help prevent outbreaks. The ADD advises using a lip balm <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/dry/heal-dry-chapped-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with an SPF of 30 or higher</a> before you go outside.</p><h2><strong>Insider's takeaway</strong></h2><p>In addition to looking for the right ingredients, you should always opt for lip balms that are fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, Rogers says. </p><p>That's because many fragrances can cause an <a href="https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetic-ingredients/allergens-cosmetics#common" target="_blank" rel="noopener">allergic reaction</a>, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.

Dehydration</strong></h2><p>Since the skin on your lips is thinner than the skin in other areas of your body, it can <a href="https://share.upmc.com/2017/02/how-to-treat-chapped-lips/#:~:text=Dehydration%20%E2%80%93%20When%20you're%20dehydrated,and%20lips%20drier%20than%20usual." target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a> the signs of <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/dehydration-symptoms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dehydration</a> first. So if you're experiencing dryness and cracking, a good first step is to make sure you're drinking enough water.</p><p><strong>Quick tip:</strong> While it may be tempting to lick your lips to rehydrate them, it could actually make the dryness worse.  When the saliva dries, it causes the moisture in your lips to evaporate, leaving them even drier, Ugonabo says. </p><p><strong>What to do about it:</strong> Make sure you're drinking enough water: Men should <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/how-much-water-should-i-drink#:~:text=Overall,%20it's%20imperative%20to%20drink,women%20need%20around%2091%20fl." target="_blank" rel="noopener">aim</a> for 125 ounces of fluid each day, and women should aim for 91 fluid ounces. While water is an important part of that, you can also count fluids like coffee and tea, plus the fluid found in foods like fruits and vegetables. </p><h2><strong>2. Sunburn</strong></h2><p>If you notice that your lips are dry or painful after a day in the sun, it could be a sunburn. Your lips are even more likely to burn than other parts of your body because the skin on your lips has no <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459156/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">melanin</a>, a pigment that protects skin from damaging UV rays.</p><p>If you have <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/treatments/sunburned-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sunburned lips</a>, you'll notice symptoms including:</p><ul><li>Dryness</li><li>Peeling</li><li>Sensitivity, stinging, or burning</li></ul><p><strong>Note:</strong>  Blisters, pain, and swelling on your lips can indicate a more severe <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/treatments/how-to-treat-burns-at-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">second degree burn</a>. If you notice those symptoms, call your doctor. </p><p><strong>What to do about it:</strong> Use a lip balm with at least SPF 15. "A lip balm will protect the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss, keeping the lips supple," Toy says. </p><p>If you don't have a lip balm with SPF handy that's ok — you can apply regular sunscreen directly to your lips. </p><p>Reapply lip balm or sunscreen <a href="https://www.skincancer.org/blog/5-tips-for-your-lips/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">every two hours</a>, since it can come off when you're eating or drinking. </p><p><strong>Quick tip:</strong> When you're choosing a lip balm for going outdoors, it's important to select one with SPF. Or else, applying product to your lips can actually increase your risk for sunburn. "It's like rubbing baby oil on the skin before tanning," Toy says. </p><h2><strong>3. Wind damage</strong></h2><p>Because lips are exposed to the elements, wind and weather can take a toll on them. Wind can <a href="https://www.skincancer.org/blog/against-the-wind/#:~:text=Being%20exposed%20to%20wind%20can,effects%20of%20the%20stratum%20corneum." target="_blank" rel="noopener">weaken</a> and dry out the outermost layer of skin and remove the moisture from the skin, making them more prone to drying. This leads to a condition known as <a href="https://www.kidspot.com.au/lifestyle/family-health/what-you-need-to-know-about-windburn-and-other-winter-lip-conditions/news-story/078eb70a7866ce1fc3bdb195efd7d95c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">windburn</a>, which is especially common on the lips.</p><p>So if you're boating, skiing or doing other outdoor activities that leave you exposed to the elements, you'll need to prioritize lip health. </p><p><strong>What to do about it:</strong> While you're out in the sun, use a lip balm with SPF. After your activities are done and you're inside, use a lip balm with Vaseline or Aquaphor to restore moisture. These thicker balms protect the skin, but they can leave you prone to sunburn, so don't use them while you're out in the sun. </p><h2>4. Irritation from cosmetics</h2><p>If you experience dry lips after switching your personal care products, the cosmetics could be to blame, Ugonabo says. </p><p>"Sometimes people are sensitive to certain ingredients that are in these products and so their lips are becoming more irritated with use," she says. </p><p>When you feel the need to apply a lip balm frequently — more than every two hours — it can be a sign that your lip products are actually <a href="https://www.wellandgood.com/how-often-should-you-apply-lip-balm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drying your lips out</a> rather than moisturizing them, Toy says. </p><p><strong>What to do about it:</strong> If your lips sting or tingle after application, stop use immediately and wash the product off with soap and water. Choose balms with healthy ingredients, while avoiding harsh ingredients. </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Avoid</strong> these <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/dry/heal-dry-chapped-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">harsh ingredients</a>:</p></td><td><p><strong>Choose</strong> these <a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/dry/heal-dry-chapped-lips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moisturizing ingredients</a>:</p></td></tr><tr><td><ul><li>Camphor</li><li>Eucalyptus</li><li>Flavoring</li><li>Fragrance</li><li>Lanolin</li><li>Menthol</li><li>Octinoxate or oxybenzone</li><li>Phenol (or phenyl)</li><li>Propyl gallate</li><li>Salicylic acid</li></ul></td><td><ul><li>Castor seed oil</li><li>Ceramides</li><li>Dimethicone</li><li>Hemp seed oil</li><li>Mineral oil</li><li>Petrolatum</li><li>Shea butter</li><li>Sun-protective ingredients, such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide</li><li>White petroleum jelly</li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table><h2><strong>5. Yeast infection</strong></h2><p>A yeast infection around the mouth, also known as thrush, can cause dry lips and cracking at the corners of the mouth, Toy says. </p><p>If you have thrush, you'll notice <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23201-yeast-infection-on-face" target="_blank" rel="noopener">symptoms</a> including:</p><ul><li>Painful cracks in the corners of your mouth</li><li>Redness or soreness at the corners of your mouth</li><li>White patches inside your mouth and gyms</li></ul><p>Eventually, this can lead to a condition called <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21470-angular-cheilitis#symptoms-and-causes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">angular cheilitis</a>, where people develop painful cracks at the corners of their mouths. It's most common in people who <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/why-do-i-drool-when-i-sleep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drool when they sleep</a>, Toy says, since the moisture lets yeast flourish. </p><p><strong>What to do about it:</strong> See your doctor. You'll need to be treated with an anti fungal cream. In addition, you'll want to stop drooling, since the moisture helps bacteria thrive. If you drool while you sleep, talk to your doctor about <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/why-do-i-drool-when-i-sleep" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ways to stop drooling</a>, like treating seasonal allergies and acid reflux that might be causing you to drool. </p><h2><strong>6. Vitamin deficiencies </strong></h2><p>If you're not getting enough <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/vitamin-b12-benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">vitamin B12</a>, you might experience dry lips and <a href="https://www.mapledentalhygienecare.com/when-it-comes-to-my-dry-chapped-lips/#:~:text=B%20Vitamins%20Deficiency:%20specifically%20vitamin,is%20a%20B%20vitamin%20deficiency." target="_blank" rel="noopener">cracking</a> at the corners of the lips. That's because vitamin B12 helps your body <a href="https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional/#:~:text=The%20DV%20for%20vitamin%20B12%20is%202.4%20mcg%20for%20adults,been%20added%20to%20the%20food." target="_blank" rel="noopener">repair cells</a>, so if you don't have enough it's more difficult for your body to repair normal damage to the lips. </p><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/b12-deficiency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vitamin B12 deficiency</a> is pretty rare, affecting about <a href="https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12-HealthProfessional/#:~:text=The%20DV%20for%20vitamin%20B12%20is%202.4%20mcg%20for%20adults,been%20added%20to%20the%20food." target="_blank" rel="noopener">6%</a> of adults under 60 in the US. However, about 20% of people older than 60 are deficient. Vegetarians are also at higher risk, since vitamin B12 isn't naturally readily in plant-based products, Toy says. However, there are <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/b12-foods-vegan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ways to hit your B12 target if you're a vegetarian</a> including eating nutritional yeast and shiitake mushrooms. </p><p><strong>What to do about it:</strong> Make sure you're getting enough vitamin B12. Most adults need to consume 2.4 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin B12. To get that, <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/b12-foods" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eat more foods</a> like fish, eggs and other animal products that naturally contain vitamin B12; or breakfast cereals that have been fortified with vitamin B. </p><p>Talk to your doctor about whether a vitamin or supplement is right for you. If you have a severe deficiency or other underlying conditions, you might also qualify for <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/b12-shots" target="_blank" rel="noopener">B12 shots</a>, so ask your doctor if those might be right for you.  </p><h3><strong>When to see a doctor</strong></h3><p>If your dry lips don't resolve in about a week, it's time to see a doctor. You should also see a doctor if you have persistent or severe peeling or cracking, which can leave you vulnerable to infection. </p><p>In rare cases, dry lips can be a sign of an underlying medical condition including:</p><ul><li>Infections like a yeast infection around the corners of the mouth</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/vitamin-deficiency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nutritional deficiencies</a>, including vitamin B12 deficiency</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/symptoms-of-eczema-2019-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eczema</a>, also known as contact dermatitis</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/when-is-allergy-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Allergies</a></li></ul><h2>Best lip balms</h2><div type="image" title="Best lip balms with SPF 4x3" height="1249" width="1666" msid="93380536" hostid="261" sizebytes="145952"></div><p>Soothe dryness and protect your lips with our guides to the best <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/beauty/best-lip-balm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lip balms</a> and <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/beauty/best-lip-balm-spf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lip balms with SPF</a>.<br /><br /></p><ul><li><strong>Best overall:</strong> <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ulta.com%2Fp%2Fmoisturizing-lip-balm-xlsImpprod11731363" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Burt's Bees Lip Balm, $3.99 at Ulta</a></li><li><strong>Best unscented:</strong> <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB004FHZKOA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Aquaphor Lip Repair, $2.99 at Amazon</a></li><li><strong>Best with SPF: </strong><a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPalmers-Cocoa-Butter-Formula-Balm%2Fdp%2FB004RIS32I" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm (3-pack), $8.94 at Amazon</a></li><li><strong>Best tinted with SPF: </strong><a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FMDSolarSciences-Hydrating-Sheer-tinted-avocado%2Fdp%2FB089X46F63" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">MDSolarSciences Hydrating Sheer Lip Balm SPF 30, $20 at Amazon</a></li></ul><h2><strong>Insider's Takeaway</strong></h2><p>Dry lips are common because skin on the lips is thin and exposed to stressors including sun and wind. However, "the lips generally heal very quickly due to an abundant blood supply," Toy says.</p><p>So, if you have persistently dry lips you should talk to a doctor. They'll help rule out any underlying conditions and help you manage your dry lips. </p><p>"Please consider seeing a  board certified dermatologist for further evaluation to make sure there isn't something more going on," Ugonabo says. </p>
