The winter is harsh on my lips and skin. My face is dry, and no amount of moisturizer seems to work. My lips are chapped and cracking around the edges. It's hard to find a chapstick or lip balm that completely nourishes your lips back to their normal state.

Hydratation 24 Protection Lèvres ($24) is a lip balm that hydrates, soothes and protects even the most sensitive lips. This balm employs tropical plants that are resistant to extreme dehydrating conditions, such as African shea butter, Australian macadamia oil and jojoba oil from Central America. A luscious, non-runny and non-sticky formula, it coats lips in a cocoon of softness. This balm is not sticky or greasy, however I wish it had more of a scent. There is no taste or smell, and unlike other lip hydrators, this one creates extreme shine. It creates almost a "wet" look. The Payot Hydration 24 leaves a silky sheen layer of moisture on your lips.

Final Thought: Anyone looking for more shine and more hydration for your lips, this is the product that will achieve it. If you are not a fan of shine, or you like delicious scents to lick off your lips, this won't work for you. I, on the other hand enjoy a ton of shine and a yummy taste so I'm half satisfied with this balm. I would recommend using this as a top layer maybe over a matte lipstick.
