Chapped lips

qualitygal — Thu, 28 Dec 2017 13:17:31 GMT

All day yesterday, I was applying Burt's Bees....today, lips are smooth and back to normal.

Beeswax lip balm. It's great stuff. I'm going to have to try some of the other products of theirs.

You ever tried this for chapped lips, or what do you use?

I don't use Burt's Bees anymore since I found out they are owned by the Clorox company and are big animal testers. But Beekman Brothers make great lip salves.

I find it doesn’t really matter what you use, just keep your lips covered with anything all day, chapstick, Vaseline, lip sticks etc...

I can't use Burts Bees because they contain lanolin, and I'm allergic. I've been using EOS.

Can’t be just anything....many products have

ingredients which actual CAUSE dryness of the lips.

Chapstick, Carmex...just a couple famous for being the ‘fix-it’ of

chapped lips, but they have camphor, phenol and/or menthol...

which drys out the lips, but yet people continue to buy.

The best thing I've used for dry lips is Lansinoh. It's ususally used by breastfeeding moms for cracked nipples. I put it on at night and still have softness in the morning. If you have a sensitity to wool, don't use it. Cerave Healing Ointment is my other "go to".

I've had good luck with Burt's though I didn't know they do animal testing, I'll have to research that.........bummer. They also make the best cuticle cream. I thought I remember seeing a special on this company and that they use only organic ingredients and their beeswax is from their very own bees?????

I use Aquaphor and buy in the small tube to use for my lips. It's the best I've found.

Blistex medicated lip ointment (the white stuff in the white tube). I always have one with me and several throughout the house. Been using it for nearly 40 years. Will never be without it.

I use Nivea in the Milk and Honey flavor. It has a very smooth, almost creamy-like texture.

Carmex is my favorite.

I used to use Burts Bees. My lips got really dry so I bought a tube of Lypsyl & a tube of Aquaphor. My lips are no longer chapped.

I had never heard of the Lypsyl or seen it before.

I never have a problem with chapped lips because I always have something on my lips:

Revlon Lustrous lipstick even around the house because it's so creamy.

Avon Lip Conditioner (when it's on sale, I buy several tubes!)

Blistex "Renewal" stick - just got this last week and I'm really liking it so far.

Someone told me years ago to not use Chapstick because it actually dries your lips. I don't know if that's true or not, but I quit using it ASAP. To me, the trick is to have something moisturizing on your lips at all times - don't allow them to be naked for very long.

Vanicream for those of us with sensitivity to a mix of chemicals and ingredients. Love the stuff. Nothing else worked.

I use Burt's Bees. The tube plainly states no animal testing.
