What is the best thing for dry lips?

[Floogeldy]

I've tried Vaseline Lip Therapy and I think they changed the ingredients. It doesn't work like it used to.

Tonight, I got some Neosporin Lip Therapy and it seems to be better.

How is that Bee's Wax stuff?

1. my roommate swears by Burt's Bees

it's the only kind of lip balm she will use...I can't comment because I've never used it

[jobycom]

5. Come to think of it, my spouse and kids use that, too. They like it.

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Burt's Bees' lip balm is the best!

AWESOME!

[jobycom]

2. More fluid intake, fruits and veggies, less booze and junk food.

Yeah, like I'd listen to that, too!

Can't help, sorry. Couldn't miss the chance to be a smart-ass though. Go figure.

3. Burts' Bees stuff...highly recommend it!

4. Carmex.

14. Absolutely!

I didn't know about Carmex until I moved to Switzerland, and I now swear by it.

20. that's the stuff

my lips dry out a lot in the summer (plus there's a lot of dry crap in the air here in the factory during the busy season)...It indeed works the best.

7. I don't know. I've tried everything.

I'm a lip biter though.

9. Kissing.

No, honestly. I know it may be a bit of a Catch-22. :eyes:

But my lips are always in great shape after making out.

10. Aveda.

As with all of their products it is expensive but will last forever because it works, it really does work. I swear by their hand relief. It lasts me forever though so I would bet it almost ends up the same as using other stuff over and over and getting no change.

11. You may have to go for someting medicated

The first time I went skiing in the Rockies, my Northeastern lips got so chapped I was in PAIN. I went straight into the lodge and said, "No, not the Chapstick--I need MEDICINE!!!"

On edit: Also, you may not be hydrating enough. Drink more water.

12. Punch line paralysis!

16. Kindred soul!

Just stare at the screen, the right one will come ...

19. Welcome to DU, smtpgirl!

:toast: :applause: :hi:

[texanwitch]

13. I use aloe vera, works very well, it good for all kinds of skin problems

[khashka]

15. Neosporin, Carmex

Fluids - drink a lot of water.
Pretty much what everyone else said.

Khash.

[u4ic]

17. I use Vichy Lip Cream

It's around $14, but it lasts me at least a year, as you only need a wee bit. The waxy stuff never did anything for me, but this stuff works great.

[Floogeldy]

21. Muchas, muchas gracias to all.

And keep 'em coming. Now I know which ones to try next.

:)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. The best thing, my dear Floog? KISSING...nt

[BikeWriter]

23. Chicken shit.

[trof]

26. That was my first thought.

[Orangeone]

24. nothing

For a while i was developing a dependency to lip balms. Your lips just keep getting drier and drier because your body thinks that you are producing enough oil. .

[Jade Fox]

25. It's caused by under-hydration....

Drink more agua?

[youthere]

27. Lansinoh...

It's actually a nipple cream for nursing mothers and is found in the baby dept.It's pure lanolin..all natural,very thick,yellowish and sticky but they will be healed overnight. It's kind of expensive, but trust me, a dab'll do you, and you can use it to heal cuts and scrapes as well. It's awesome-and it lasts a LOOOOONG time.

28. Blistex and/or Carmex

Both work quite well for me in the winter, which is when I have problems with chapped lips.
