think I should buy stock in Lubriderm and Chapstick

this cold weather is causing my skin to dry out and my lips to chap. ugh!

Me too! My hands are very dry all year long and this weather just kills them and I never had a problem with chapped lips until 3 days ago. I usually don't mind the cold, but this is ridiculous!!!!

This central heating really dries out my lips and hands. YUCK. I need to buy stock in those companies, too

I need to find an automatic lotion dispenser with a long handle so I can put lotion on my back. It is so dry and itchy. I broke out with a cold sore and I don't even have a cold. I think it was from using WAY too much chapstick.

I have used Burt's Beeswax religiously for the past 3 years and I have always been fine. But with this cold, my lips are crazy chapping. So I went to Target last week and bought like 5 different kinds of chapsticks to see which one would moisturize the best. This weather is killing my lips!

Make sure you run your humidifiers if you do not have central ones on your furnances. Humidity really helps, and you stay much more comfortable also, at a lower level of heat. Stay warm.

Sounds like a good idea! So many people have been sick at work I have been using hand sanitizer almost constantly and the alcohol in it has really dried out my hands! My 14 year old is taking Accutane and it makes your skin so dry -- his lips are really chapped. He has been using Chapstick but they still look terrible.

I had gotten a free sample of burts beeswax from drugstore.com and can't believe how wonderful it is. I had to buy several more because it work so well. I wish I owned a little stock in Kleenex these days, I now just carry a box around with me. Give me spring!!!

a friend gave me some really good hand cream -- orange scented. it's made a big difference.
