| My lips are so dry and chapped. Tried all the blistex and labello drugstore balms out there. Anyone find luck with anything else? |

I've always had good luck with Aquaphor which comes in a big tube. It's the healing ointment stuff. You can get it at Walgreens, Walmart, etc. Here's a link to try a free sample of it (I think US residents only)... it probably won't get to you in time to help with your chap lips now but hey its free...

Another vote for the Dr H lip balms  Otherwise I quite like the Clinique Superbalm lip balm as well.  |

| These'll make you forget what chapped lips feel like: Desert Essence Lip Rescue with Shea Butter, Ganache for Lips, Duwop Buttercream, Juice Beauty Lip Plumper, and Badger Balm. HTH! |

I have a thing for lip balms. Here are a few of my favs:
Murad Soothing Skin and Lip Therapy--squeeze tube. good for every day...helps keep lips from becoming chapped, dry.
Prescriptives Lip Specialist--creamy, emollient, but non-greasy, formula in a small jar. Does a good job of soothing my lips when they are chapped. Also great to apply before spending time outside on a windy day! Protective and soothing.
Weleda Everon Lip Balm--tube, twist up. I purchased this after reading Sharky's rave review, and I love this--it's quickly becoming my favorite solid, twist up tube lip balm. This has more of a non-oily, moisturizing texture to it that seems to coat and protect lips, rather than sinking in. I love to apply a little of this before lipstick....makes it go on very smooth. This is also very inexpensive, too! Thanks Sharky!
L'Occitane Anti-Drying Lip Balm--twist up, tube. Shea butter, macadamia nut oil, sunflower seed oil are three of the top ingredients, so it has a more "slick" feel to it...sinks into skin. Feels nice on dry lips.
Aquaphor--inexpensive, simple tube of healing emollience.
Origins Cover Your Mouth--simple, small twist up tube. Canola oil and beeswax, SPF 8. Nice size to slip into a pocket when working in the yard this summer!
Neosporin Lip Treatment--for truely chapped, painful lips. I apply this at night, before bed every once in awhile.
Qtica Intense Lip Repair Balm--squeeze tube...very thick, white product. Another good one to apply on chapped lips at night, or during the day when you're not going to be seen! The first time I used this, I ended up with this white outline around my lips that looked like I intentionally applied white lip liner!
Kiehl's #1 and tinted with SPF--squeeze tubes. These have a nice consistency, and are great to apply regularly when out in the sun. (Even though I would hesitate to apply the tinted versions when playing, or working, when a quick peek into a mirror is difficult. Without careful application, the tinted product ends up outside my lip area. But I do like how they look and feel if I can quickly swipe off the excess with a tissue!)
Bobbi Brown Lip Balm, SPF 15--Cute silver tin. The product is hard, and takes me a bit more effort to apply, but feels wonderful once you have it on. Protective.
Clinique Moisture Stick--convenient lipstick tube, moisturizing, but NO SPF.
Will not repurchase:
Origins Lip Remedy--expensive, non-moisturizing. It claims to be moisturizing, but it actually made my lips more dry. I would not even apply this to healthy, non-chapped lips!
Bath and Body Works Le Couvent des Minimes Nutritive Lip Balm (Honey & Shea)-- Grainy. Messy. Felt awlful on my lips and my finger, after applying. (yuk) |

| Usually I use Chapstick. However, recently I picked up MAC Lip Conditioner SPF15 and it feels really nice on your lips. I have the clear version, but it comes in different colours. It has a really nice vanilla scent to it ... yummmm! |

| Definately Dr H lip balm. It smells funny at first (of burnt herbs I think), but its hands down one of my all time favourites. |

This isn't fancy at all--but with skiing, sailing and scuba diving, I've found that regular old Blistex-Lip Medex is the only thing that works. I hate Chapstick and even regualr Blistex, but their Lip Medex in the blue tin, is the best.
I usually slather on a ton right before bed--it tingles too! |

My favorites are the Aquaphor and Kiehl's #1. No fragrances but they protect and keep my lips soft.
I've also got a pot of the La Mer Lip Balm which is ok but nothing special. It's mint-flavored and has a cooling tingle. The balm is a light mint-green color which I like but not reason enough to re-purchase. Luckily it was a gift. |

My lips were CRACKED and even cut this winter, they were so dry they HURT. I used Dermadoctor POUTlandish and Viola! Smooth lips again. I just use it once in awhile now. CityLips moisturzes AND keeps my lips plump now.
Dermadoctor.com gives free samples of it. Make sure you get CLEAR though. |

| I'm using mentholatum lipbalm with SPF 15, lavender flavoured =) I really recommend Shiseido Water in Lip balm because it's ultra moisturizing not greasy at all! It's tasteless and wonderfully light as well. I bought mine in Hong Kong but you can purchase it in canada as well! |

Hello, I brew the rosehip tea and put it on the chapped lip. It works.
I used LipIce before but it cant help any except cooling my lip. |
