Help with chapped lips!!

[XTinabell]

I have had the worst chapped lips in the past few years. It got so bad somebody actually asked me if I was okay.
One day I was wandering through the cosmetic section and a woman approached me and freaked out about how sore my lips looked, yadda yadda and insisted I just try this product. So I did, it worked within five minutes. It's Sisley's lip balm. It's ridiculously expensive but works like you wouldn't believe. I have to use it constantly though or my lips go back to normal within a week. My secondary options would be carmex or blistex like a few other posters recommended. Vaseline does not work for me at all.

Blistex is "addictive." If you use it, your lips will get used to it and then they will be constantly dry without it.

My dermatologist says the only good solution for chapped lips is plain old Vaseline (I get the tubes for lips.)

I have heard the same thing for vaseline and any Petroleum based product. I used Chapstick through my childhood and had to reapply and reapply.....I finally started using Burt's Bees and I only have to use it occasionally.

DD had awful chapped lips at the begining of this winter. I tried Burt's Bees (which is my standby) neosporin, vaseline etc, Nothing would help for very long. I found Aquaphor in little tubes at CVS and that's the only thing that has helped heal her lips.

I swear by Carmex,

I like Carmex too.

When DD was taking Accutane she had terrible chapped lips. The dermatologist told her to use Aquaphor and she has ever since.

I have Carmex like everywhere, LOL. I have a tube in the car, one in my coat pocket, on my desk at home, and one of those lil' tubs in my desk at work. Love that stuff

Aquaphor will work overnight. It is miracle stuff! You can find it near the Eucerin lotion at the drug store.
