Chapped lips

[velvett]

Does anyone else get hit with this in the winter?

I have puffy looking lips as it is and now I look like - oh I don't even want to tell you how funny I look.


What's that saying?
Rode hard, put away wet.


HELP?!

Anyone have any ideas?

I've tried blistex, carmex, chap stick, oralabs (this is the best so far), vasiline and la pairie's lip repair.




When will it go away.

Please excuse me - I am overly emotional today.

Blistex works for me but sometimes when lips are very bad, I scrape (with toothbrush...) dry parts away and then put some salve on it. It works, at least for a while

Spatt´s solution sounds easier and more comfortable

Thanks Spatts & Lady!!!!!!!

I will try all of the above.

I recently bought Blistex "herbal answer" & really like that. Otherwise I ALWAYS put some blistex on before bed every night. That really helps.

I found the cure for me...as i am currently on accutane and no chapped lips so far...

Its called A + D ointment, its for diaper rash and its used when u get tatoos...

Try it out....

Accutane user here too (which really dries you out, esp lips). Aquaphor ointment is positively the best lip ointment I've ever used. While we're on the subject of moisturizers , Cetaphil creme is the best yet too. With Aquaphor and Cetaphil creme, I don't even know I'm on Accutane (and my skin was horrendously dry the 1st time I took it).

Another vote for Burt's Beeswax Lipbalm. Awesome stuff!

Very very true. Aquaphor is far and away the best for chapped lips. I am also on accutane, and on cycle at the same time. Aquaphor kicks major butt and works like a charm.
