Chapped lips!

[tiggerblue10]

I suffer with chapped lips and they are quite sore at the moment. I have been using Vaseline Lip Therapy for the last couple of days but they are still sore. Maybe its the time of year! Does anyone of anything better to use please?

[teag1rl]

Definitely Carmex as others said if they're really chapped. The others types might stop lips from getting chapped in the first place, but this is the most effective thing that helps once they're in that state...

I've never tried Carmex (but I'll see if I can get some) - having said that, I swear by Chapstick - it's wonderful (and cheap!!) K x

Thanks tea and kleiber. x

I absolutely swear by this:

I find it makes my lips feel better immediately on application, rather than waiting until they heal to start feeling better.

Then overnight I put a really thick layer of this:

which tingles a bit but next morning you can just scrape off the dry skin and apply the top one again, it really helps heal them overnight!

If you know anyone going to the States get them to go to Walmart and stock up at 99 cents for a stick or pot. I nearly passed out when I saw it was four quid a pot here.

Why is everything in the UK so overpriced?!

its expensive, but the best ive tried is clinique super lip balm.
i had really dry chapped lips & all of the usual ones seemed to make it worse (bought about 6 in 2 weeks).
it feels a bit gross when you put it on cos its like a really thick glue (but not sticky)
i put it on at night & by morning the problem had completely gone.

i use superdrug medicated lip balm. it's dirt cheap but works really well!!!

Thanks muppeteer and perigra. The clinique one sounds really good. x
