The £3 soothing lip balm that tops the Amazon bestseller list

If the recent spate of cold weather is leaving your skin more flaky and dry than soft and smooth, we may just have the solution.

When the cold weather hits, it's always the lips that seem to be instantly affected, with this sensitive area becoming dry and chapped at the first sign of frost.

So if you're on the hunt for a quality lip balm to help your lips survive the 'Beast from the East' - and the rest of the winter - Amazon may hold the answer to the problem.

The Blistex Medplus Repairing Lip Balm is one of the website's top-selling lip products - and for good reason.

At just £3.59, the product is number one bestseller in the 'Lipstick primers' category. And if the customer reviews are anything to go by, it's easy to see why.

With over 93% positive customer reviews, fans have flocked to the site to praise the product for soothing dry, chapped lips, and even helping with cold sores.
