Lip balm

**Shell** · 09-29-2005, 07:17 PM

I have dry lips and I have tried many kinds of lips balms but so far nothing works that well. What do you like?

I have also increased my water intake but haven't noticed a difference either.

I live with Dew Kiss from Avon in my purse, car, etc. I buy it twelve tubes at time! It works very well and th eprice is right.

The inly thing that works for my is burt's bees beeswax Lip Balm, it's a little pricy for chapstick but works wonders.

I like something with a little menthol in it. Most recently I've been using a lip balm from walmart called "Natural Ice" (I think) and like it a lot.

My daughter uses Carmex in the deep of winter and it has worked the best for her.

In college a friend from Michigan used straight mentholatum on her lips. She said she began using it after having had a horrible cold that gave her very chapped lips and just had never quit.

I'm seconding the vote for Burt's Bees. I love it so much I tend to buy it for everyone. It is about $2 a tube around here.

Burt's Bees

Blistex is the only thing that works for me. I'm like Lori-- I buy several tubes at a time and keep them everywhere. I use the green tube (medicated) daily, and then in the winter, I use the little pots of heavier medicated stuff.

Oh, and I forgot to mention why I like Burt's Bees better than the stuff from Mentholatum (the "Ice" stuff Jean mentioned- I used it all the time when I was younger.)

The mentholatum brand and many other larger poducers have petroleum-based ingredients. For me, even if it wasn't environmentally more sound, I still wouldn't want to use it, because the Burt's Bees ingredients are much more "breatheable" to me, and I just can't stand the way petroleum-based products feel on my lips.

Avon makes a line called Naturals, I like the vanilla-not overpowering and if I put it on at night, it's there all night- generally can get during sales for .99. I use blistex for ski weekends, beach weeks any extreme times.

I use homemade lip balm--

generic kool-aid mixed with shortening!

I used to use someting by Blistex called "herbal answer" I think. It was in a light green see through tube. I can't find it anymore at Wal-mart, so I am wondering if its still being made. It had both Jojoba and shea butter in it.

I am currently using Burt's Bees in a "can". I prefer tube style chapsticks, because I always keep one in my pocket. My dh laughs at me because I get chapped lips in the summer.
