Re: What stops chapped lips??

[ Edited ]

I use an exfoliator for the lips by FRESH.  It lasts a long time.  It's still good over a year or so.  You apply a tiny bit to the lips gently rub, rinse and apply some type of moisture product to the lips.  Has helped me tremendously.  You could also take brown sugar with a tad of oil added to exfoliate.  Do this procedure once or twice a week.   Good luck.  Cat Very Happy

Nightly: Agave Lip Mask - Fantastic! Worth the $. I get at Sephora. I never have chapped lips when I use these and I live in Wisconsin.

My lips got very chapped as soon as the weather got cold.  I bought a new chapstick, it came in a silver tube and has argan oil in it.  My lips healed within a day and continue to be very soft.  I make sure I apply a thick layer before bed.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment or Cerave's version. I've been using the latter for more than a year and have been very pleased. I'm next going to try Cerave's ointment.

 

One thing that I purposely don't do is exfoliate my lips.

Lip Smackers made w/ beeswax...cheap, readily available.

 

I've never, ever had an issue with chapped lips.  

Ever.

I totally agree with Shiloh 81, I have been using Paula's Choice Lip & Body Treatment Balm for a number of years.  Previously, I had tried so many lip treatments  (Burts Bees, Nivea, Chapstick, Bobbi Brown, Carmex + others) and nothing seemed to work and some even made my lips worse.  I use PC balm every night before bed and never have issues with chapped, cracked, or peeling lips.  I love it and will not be without it.  It cost about 15.00 but last a very long time.

Re: What stops chapped lips??

I have a terrible problem with chapped lips and have to be careful what I use or I break out on my chin and above my lip.  I picked up some ChapStick Total Hydration at Target and no more chapped lips and no more breakouts!

I'm also going to check my tooth paste...that is great info!
