Name your best chapstick/lip balm

[mommasita]

I spent LOADS of time at the beach this week, and forgot my Lypsy. My lips are swollen icky , and boy do they hurt. For 2 days I have been applying my Lypsyl (day and night)..and it is not working..

I wonder which brand has the most healing in it..

On the flip side, I am sprouting some Angelina lips

 

[Mady/Sophiemom]

Burt's Bees, is my absolute favorite. A little menthol for healing.

Lip Medex -- it comes in a small blue container, great year around

Burt's Bees, is my absolute favorite. A little menthol for healing.

Quoted for truth!

I Burt's Bees!

I'll 3rd Burt's Bees I love the stuff

 

[mommasita]

Ok Great..Burt's it is. I actually saw it at the check out the other night at the drugstore. We are far behind in products, but I know we just started getting this in our area..

Thanks guys..I will buy it on my way home at 5

Not a stick, but when my lips need HEALING, I swear by the Blistex in the tube. Soooo soothing.

Hope you feel better soon!

I have the medicated Blistex in my desk here. It HURTS soooo much, as my lips are cracked, and have a few blisters.. I am being a baby, but every time I smile, it hurts more...Why did I forget to protect my lips

Thanks for the well wishes.

Ouch, poor you!

Do you have any cooling moisturising cream or lotion you could put on your lips for now?

Yes, it is just taking long to heal. I guess this is a lesson to learn. I usually don't go anywhere without my chapstick, but this was a sporadic day trip, and I guess with trying to get it all organized I simply forgot it, and boy I will NEVER again...

Agreed on the burt's bees. Another one I loved, but don't know if it's available anymore is Blistex pro. It was in this slim blue tube.

Mine, too.

I use plain old chapstick once or twice a year, usually in the winter. But other than that I find no need for any of that stuff.

 

[spazzyjazzy]

Rosebud Salve

 

[jagafen]

Avon's Moisture Therapy......love it! Also Bag Balm (in a 3X3 green tin)...hard to find, but the tin lasts FOREVER!!!

I'm a fan of My Lip Stuff (available at mylipstuff.com); however, it doesn't have any sunscreen in it, if that's a concern for you.

 

[HockeyChick]

Another vote for Burt's Bees, made right down the road from me in Durham, NC.

There may be one with sunscreen but, the kind I buy doesn't have it. That's great for me because I'm allergic to the sunscreen in lip balms. And despiste being a red-head, my lips have never been sunburned anyway.

I use True Blue Spa SPF 45 Chap stick(sold at Bath and Body Works) to prevent your plight, but when I just don't reapply enough ,or forget all together, and I end up with super chapped lips I use Carmex(you can find it at any drug store). I've also used Burt's Bees, like many have mentioned, and it works pretty well.

It never seemed to be a problem, but it is now for sure. Funny thing is I am VERY dark skinned..Oh well. Thanks.

I use A&D ointment. Has never failed to cure dry lips.

Esp at night. Slap it on, go to bed wake up cured.
