Lip Balm

    I used to be a total lip balm addict and I've tried everything. The absolute best I've found is Kiehl's lip balm #1. You put it on once at night and you really don't need it during the day, but I keep it with me just in case. It is awesome!! I've heard the Vit E is good so I tried it, it always seemed greasy to me, just couldn't get used to it and my hair would stick in it which annoys me too.

    The best best best thing I've ever used is made by Aveda and called Lip Saver.  It's SPF 15 and works awesome when you are in the sun.  My lips get very sunburned and since I spend a lot of time outside I'd be in trouble without it. Someone recommended it to me about 10 years ago and I've used it ever since and nothing else I've tried has been as good.  I have some Keihl's too which I'll use at night before I go to bed but I think it only has SPF 4 and doesn't help outside.

    Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol - The acetyl ester of lanolin alcohol. This is derived from lanolin, a by-product of the wool industry. This is a very good conditioner for dry, chapped lips.


    A lot of moisturizing products contain lanolin - for humans and animals.  BUT, if you are allergic to wool - which ;produces lanolin - lanolin can make your lips (or other body parts if using a body care product w/lanolin) terribly dry and cracked and cause blistering.
     
    I am allergic to wool (cannot wear wool clothing or footwear) and therefore also lanolin and have to spend a lot of time scanning the back of hair care products, as well as, all other body care products.

    I saw Burt's Bees at Walgreens at Christmas.  I don't know if it was a one-time thing, or if they routinely carry it.

    I swear by Dew Kiss by Avon.  I order it by the dozen every time it goes on sale. My sister is an Avon lady, so she lets me know when the next sale is.  I have  them in my car, purse, all my coats, bathroom cabinet...well, you get the idea! When they are on sale, they are only .69, so it's a tough price to beat!

    I use  alot of it since my lips get really dry when my allergies are bad.

    OH MY GOSH. I am sooo totally addicted to chapstick. I use the chapstick brand medicated. It's horrible. It makes my lips kind of cold and i can't stand it when they're not cold, like i go crazy. I no joke, probably apply chapstick 50 times a day. My co-workers make fun of me because i do the one handed application. I also can't wear pants without pockets because i have nowhere to put it. It's a serious issue and i need to work on it...

    They actually make a lip balm neoprene holder w/clip...I know, that's not helping but I just had to tell you! [:D

    burt's is the BOMB!  i've never had a problem with it drying me out, but i'm definitely addicted to the peppermint feeling.  the best thing EVErrrr is those colored lip balms they have. 
     
    but i was glad to see someone mention aveeno.
     
    also, if you can find it, try:  bigelow apothecaries ultra mentha lip shine.  a great gloss that gives you a feeling of relief from "chap-ed-ness"
