Every year, like clockwork, my lips freak out once the temperature outside drops below 50 degrees. My once smooth, conditioned pout turns dry, chapped, and painful almost overnight. Leaving the house without a pampering lip balm tucked in every pocket is completely out of the question! In preparation for the coldest months of the year, I spoke to top dermatologists and makeup artists for their expert picks on the best Winter lip treatments to save your pout this season. Here are their favorite pampering treatments to have on hand.

Sephora Rose Lip Mask

Sephora Rose Lip Mask

"These cute lip-shaped sheet masks deliver quick hydration with rose and mango extract. I love to keep these in my kit for when I use supermatte lip products and the model's lips need to be ultrasmooth and soft." — Ashleigh Ciucci, makeup artist

GlamGlow Fizzy Lip Exfoliant

GlamGlow Fizzy Lip Exfoliant

"This is not your average lip scrub. It's a perfect blend of cane sugar and sea salt and is packed with tons of tropical antioxidants. While the granules physically exfoliate, ingredients like almond oil, guava, and lychee repair and protect the lips to make them softer and smoother. Also, once activated with water, the scrub fizzes, accelerating the process. It tastes delish, too." — Ashleigh Ciucci

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm

"This is a great everyday lip balm. It is nongreasy, not shiny, has great flavors, a nice applicator tip, and keeps your lips moist and soft. The best part is that it contains broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 25 so it protects your lips from UV damage and photoaging." — Dr. Samer Jaber, New York City dermatologist, Washington Square Dermatology

Savor Beauty Honey Lip Sugar Scrub

Savor Beauty Honey Lip Sugar Scrub

"The sweet sugar scrub lifts dead skin cells on lips, while the honey polishes lips to perfection." — Marisa Martino, skin care expert and founder of SKINNEY Medspa

Bliss Fabulips Sugar Scrub & Bliss Fabulips Pout-o-matic

Bliss Fabulips Sugar Scrub & Bliss Fabulips Pout-o-matic

"Lately my favorite lip treatment has been using the Bliss Fabulips Sugar Scrub combined with the Bliss Fabulips Pout-o-matic. The Pout-o-matic is a battery-powered device to gently buff away dry, flaky skin. The device comes with disposable massage heads, so I can use it on all my actors on the set of Quantico. After lips have been exfoliated, I apply lip plumping balm like the Dior Creme de Rose Soothing Plumping Lip Balm ($30) or By Terry Baume de Rose ($60). On men, I like to use Homeoplasmine ($16), which is an all-purpose balm used to soothe irritated skin. It also has no shine or stickiness, so even the manliest of men don't mind wearing it." — Erica Whelan, makeup artist

Shop it: Bliss Fabulips Sugar Scrub ($18) and Bliss Pout-o-matic Lip Perfecting System ($48)

La Mer Lip Balm

La Mer Lip Balm

"This lip balm is the granddaddy of all lip balms. It's weightless and reparative, targeting dry skin and strengthening cell structure on lips with the brand's infamous Miracle Broth. If you're not a La Mer junkie, the Miracle Broth is the bio-fermented algae that is the active ingredient in all La Mer products, and the reason you spend $60 on this lip balm." — Ashleigh Ciucci

Shop it: La Mer Lip Balm ($60)

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm

"The first ingredient is beeswax so it has tons of staying power and some real heft to it. It also has honey, which is an emollient and humectant and has been shown to help heal wounds. It's quite soothing, so it's especially good for dry and cracked lips. There are also a bunch of oils in it (like sweet almond and soybean oil), so although it's thick and has staying power, it doesn't feel sticky and goes on smoothly." — Papri Sarkar, dermatologist

Shop it: Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm ($15)

Vaseline Lip Therapy

Vaseline Lip Therapy

"Everyone's grandmother had Vaseline in her medicine cabinet, and for good reason. It is safe, effective, with really no risk of allergy. It now comes in little metal tins or mini tubs that can be convenient to carry with you." — Dr. Samer Jaber

Shop it: Vaseline Lip Therapy ($4)

Dr. Dan's CortiBalm Lip Balm

Dr. Dan's CortiBalm Lip Balm

"Dr. Dan's is a steroid lip balm containing one percent hydrocortisone, so it is a great lip balm when someone has severely dry, chapped lips from the wind, cold, or a medication. (Since it has hydrocortisone it should not be used for extended periods of time.) It's very effective when used for a few days when the lips are especially cracked." — Dr. Samer Jaber

Shop it: Dr. Dan's CortiBalm Lip Balm ($17)

Lip Fusion XL Advanced Lip Plumping Therapy

Lip Fusion XL Advanced Lip Plumping Therapy

"It's the Y2K version of a hot cinnamon gloss. Hyaluronic acid acts as an anti-ager by speeding cell renewal, and marine collagen plumps the lips on contact so you instantly have a full, healthy pout. It's hot and kind of fizzy so if you have sensitive skin, do a patch test first." — Ashleigh Ciucci

Shop it: Lip Fusion XL Advanced Lip Plumping Therapy ($50)

Korres Wild Rose Exfoliating Cleanser

Korres Wild Rose Exfoliating Cleanser

"It's cruelty free and gentle enough for exfoliating in the Winter. It's not too rough and doesn't leave your lips dried out after using it. I like to top with Korres Lip Butter ($12) to lock in the moisture." — Dr. Hooman Khorasani, chief of the division of Dermatologic & Cosmetic Surgery, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Shop it: Korres Wild Rose Exfoliating Cleanser ($28)

Live Clean Non-Petroleum Jelly

Live Clean Non-Petroleum Jelly

"It's non-petroleum based and cruelty free . . . great for putting over face and lips — also great for sealing in moisture. It's unscented, and your kids (and those supersensitive types) can use it too." — Dr. Hooman Khorasani

Shop it: Live Clean Non-Petroleum Jelly ($15)

Neova Intensive Lip Repair

Neova Intensive Lip Repair

"This lip balm feels silky smooth on the lips and visibly hydrates lips upon application. It's not that greasy and is great for the cold weather to protect the lips from cracking. It's also infused with anti-inflammatory copper peptides (to improve overall texture) and has no fragrances or dyes that can irritate the skin." — Julia Tzu, founder and medical director of Wall Street Dermatology

Shop it: Neova Intensive Lip Repair ($22)

Restorsea Pro Lip Magic

Restorsea Pro Lip Magic

"Restorsea uses a unique enzyme from salmon roe that exfoliates lips while also hydrating them. Look for moisturizing formulas with hyaluronic acid and ceramides." — Dr. Jason Emer, Beverly Hills cosmetic dermatologist

DIY: Sugar Scrub

DIY: Sugar Scrub

"My quick and dirty DIY lip treatment [uses] a packet of natural granulated sugar from the craft service table (the kind with the big, chunky granules). I mix the sugar packet with whatever thick lip balm I have on hand and apply to lips. Next, I take a paper towel and buff away the lip treatment. [I finish by] rolling a clean mascara wand over lips to wipe away any stubborn flakes." — Erica Whelan
