Lip balm recommendations: choosing by situation means fewer misses (men’s lip balm, pharmacy lip balm, gifts)
There can’t be just one right answer to “Can you recommend a lip balm?” Someone whose lips feel dry all day, someone who wants to apply it before lipstick, a man using lip balm for the first time, someone looking for a gift. Each person needs something different. So I’ve organized these by situation.
Choose based on your situation
| If this is your situation | This kind of lip balm |
|---|---|
| My lips feel dry all day | A highly moisturizing lip balm rich in oils and butters |
| My lips keep getting flaky | A lip balm you can apply thickly before bed |
| I’ll apply it before lipstick | A melt formula that spreads thinly and sets quickly |
| I dislike fragrance, or my lips are sensitive | An unscented lip balm without fragrance or menthol |
| I’m a man trying lip balm for the first time | An unscented, untinted tube that fits in a pocket |
| I’m buying it as a gift | Unscented and untinted, so it’s less dependent on personal taste |
Choosing a men’s lip balm
There are usually two reasons men don’t apply lip balm: they don’t like a shiny look, and they don’t like fragrance. That’s why unscented and untinted are most important. Apply just one very thin layer, then press your upper and lower lips together once, and it’s barely noticeable.
When looking for pharmacy lip balm
There aren’t any special criteria just for pharmacy lip balm. The way to choose is the same: moisturizing ingredients near the top of the ingredients list, whether it contains fragrance or menthol, and the stated concentration. Still, one advantage of buying it at a pharmacy is that you can see the product in person before choosing.
Lip balm as a gift
If you don’t know the recipient’s preferences, fragrance and color are the riskiest choices. Unscented and untinted is a safe option regardless of gender or age. If it’s a product you can describe in one phrase, like “20% squalane,” it can also give you something to talk about when you hand it over.
Gloshell Melt Lip Balm works well for all these situations
Gloshell Squalane Melt Lip Balm is a highly moisturizing lip balm containing 20% squalane. It’s unscented and untinted, so it’s an easy choice for men or as a gift, and its melt formula can be applied thinly before lipstick during the day or thickly at night. It comes in an 11 ml tube and sells for 17,900 won. You can buy it at Naver Smart Store and pharmacies such as Seongsu Anzu Pharmacy.
