Default Dry, chapped lips?
Does anyone have really dry, cracked or chapped lips?

What do you do to treat it . . everything that I have tried has too much alcohol or something in its ingredients . . . my lips start to depend on it . . and hurt all the time if I am not constantly slapping the stuff on 24/7.

Can anyone help me soon? I am going absolutely crazy.

Thanks

Carmex. It comes in a yellow tube with a red cap, and you can get it pretty much anywhere they have the other chapsticks. It does tingle when you put it on, but it seriously works WONDERS. I had dry chapped lips that would bleed a lot, especially in winter, but I use it only when I need it and I have no problems anymore. Good luck.

Thank you

Do you think they have it in Canada?
I will go look for it tomorrow.


Oh! and someone mentioned using vaseline . . does anyone have any experience with that?

Thanks

You're welcome. I've used vaseline as well, and it does work, but I don't really like how it gets all over my fingers and is kinda...goopy I guess would be the word.

And I went onto the Carmex website haha, and it mentions Canada, so it's a safe bet they'll have some for you.

I also use Carmex but have found that the Cherry one doesn't seem to burn as bad. Also, try Neosporin~I use it at nights and days that I'm going to be in the cold allot. It works miracles and looks like lip gloss.

Mary Kay Satin Lips Lip Balm...it actually comes in a set with a mask if you like (to exfoliate lips) and the balm isn't wax-based like chap stick is, so you won't have to keep reapplying it. I use it and SWEAR by Satin Lips.

Good luck!

I am the chapped lipped QUEEN! Especially in the winter---ugh! Every other part of my body drips with oil (or so it seems) and my lips seem to get NONE of it. I honestly think I am addicted to chapstick...I have a million tubes of it everywhere...every purse, room, my office, my car!! Blistex seems to work pretty well at times, but I agree with the above posters on the Carmex. You can get in the jar or tube...tube is less messy. AND ITS CHEAP!!

Thank you everyone for your advice. I went to the drugstore and they did carry Carmex, so I bought a tube of it, and some vaseline. And if neither of them seem to do the trick I also found a type of Blistex that has a little bit of Nivea in it. So hopefully one of those will work for me.

Thanks again ladies
