One of my favorite winter skin-care hacks consists of strategically placing lip balms in my coat pockets so my lips are covered when I'm out and they feel super dry. Since I'm prone to chapped lips and the products in my handbag (and throughout my apartment) will inevitably go missing at some point during the chilly season, this trick has really come through for me.

It's not quite the same magical feeling as finding a $10 bill by surprise, but I've certainly never been disappointed at the discovery of a balm in my pocket. For the record, I feel the same way about hair ties.

In the event that you like to stock your pockets with balm too (or just need more lip balm in general), these products below might be worth adding to your shopping cart.
