The return of cold weather signals the start of the new season and while you can wrap yourself up in a cosy coat, snuggly scarf, and warm winter boots, it can be tricky to avoid getting cracked lips. Turning to the skincare shelves of celebrities, shoppers are praising a "miracle" balm that's used by Victoria Beckham for keeping their lips "super hydrated" and "stopping them from cracking."
The beauty buy in question is Dr PawPaw's Original Balm, which is now on sale for £1.97 at Superdrug. Victoria Beckham has previously revealed on the Breaking Beauty Podcast that she uses the product "most often", and while its primary function is as a lip balm, the multi-purpose product has a number of uses - from moisturising dry elbows, to softening your cuticles.
Clear in colour, and with a formula that doesn't feel "heavy or greasy", the balm is elsewhere stocked at LookFantastic, Boots, and Holland & Barrett. It is also available in red and peach, to give your pout a pop of colour, while still keeping it hydrated and nourished.
The Dr PawPaw Original Balm has been reduced in price to less than £2 (Dr PawPaw)The vegan lip balm is made from 100% natural ingredients, including papaya to rejuvenate, aloe vera with soothing antibacterial properties, and olive oil which gently moisturises the skin. As well as restoring existing cracked lips, it's a great idea to use this buy to prevent rough lips from forming, as one layer creates a barrier against cold air and dehydrating wind.
It's suitable for all skin types, with one shopper saying, "I love this product, I have sensitive skin, but can use this everywhere! It has helped so many of my skin problems, especially chapped lips. I always have Dr PawPaw in my handbag."

A second user confirmed that it does indeed serve multiple purposes, penning: "you can use it to shape your eyebrows, moisturise your lips and skin, or protect your nails between manicures. So soothing, healing and long lasting!"
It's even more useful at this time of year - one person said: "Amazing in winter, I absolutely cannot be without this product now! I get cracked lips and this helps SO much!"
It has been noted that "it immediately has a strong nutty scent," but that "goes away quickly." Setting you back less than £2, "a little goes a long way," and "it's the only thing that comes close to the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, proving that you don't necessarily need an expensive product to get results."
If you did want to spend a little more on the popular Elizabeth Arden product, it currently has 30% off on their website, and you'll receive a full-size Prevage Moisturiser that's worth £135 at checkout.
