Wilson Leung

Eve Lom Kiss Mix ($140 for 5ml at Joyce Beauty, New World Tower, 16-18 Queen's Road, Central)

'The most important property of a lip balm is its moisturising effect. This lip balm provides a lot of moisture without being waxy or sticky. It's also slightly minty and fresh-feeling, and lasts a long time.'

Edith Siu, beauty editor, Harper's Bazaar

Blu Spa Grapefruit Moisturising Lip Balm ($70 for 15ml at Blu Spa, 9 Queen's Road, Central)

'This balm is very gentle and protective, and is ideal for use during a facial or body treatment. I also like its cotton-candy colour, yummy fragrance and the fact it can be used in place of those sticky lip glosses that are so popular these days.'

Constance Haisma-Kwok, beauty columnist, South China Morning Post

Emulsifying Ointment ($48 for 450 grams at Watson's)

'Even a small amount is enough to moisturise lips. I use it myself, as do many doctors and clinic workers. Some people, however, might consider it messier and less convenient than Chapstick-type products.'

Dr Louis Shih, dermatologist

Nuxe Honey Lip Balm ($120 for 15ml at Joyce Beauty)

'It's very moisturising, not too sticky and fragrance-free. This brand is known for its all-natural ingredients, so there should be little chance of an allergic reaction. It's suitable for even the driest lips.'

Freda Leung, beauty editor, Cosmopolitan

Vaseline ($12 for 50 grams at Watson's)

'I think the best non-prescription lip balm is Vaseline, which is 100 per cent pure petroleum jelly. Even though it's a bit inconvenient to apply, it's cheap, simple and effective.'

Dr Wong Kai-fou, dermatologist
