Beauty & Wellness Top Picks

Kiehl’s Buttermask Intense Repair Lip Treatment

Robust hydration for dry, chapped lips. The cold, dry winter months can leave lips painfully cracked and inflamed. The Kiehl’s Buttermask Intense Repair Lip Treatment stands out for providing immediate relief, thanks to its blend of plant oils and butters. This rich, buttery mask forms a thick layer that locks in moisture and softens lips overnight, although it’s effective enough for day use too. Unlike lighter lip treatments that wear off quickly, this one soothes and protects—a true lifesaver in harsh conditions.

• Key Benefits: Thick, protective layer, deep hydration, suitable for day and night use
• Star Ingredients: Plant oils, natural butters
• Ideal For: Those experiencing chapped or inflamed lips due to weather or other irritants

Glow-Boosting Highlighter

Elevate your makeup routine for a radiant New Year. January is the ideal time to refresh your beauty palette, and Prevention editors championed a subtle highlighter perfect for daily wear.
