I'm new to chapped lips since I started a job in a school, and have to spend every lunchtime outside in the freezing cold!
The only thing I have found that works is the big tubs of 100% pure shea butter from L'Occitane - this is also AMAZING if you've had a cold and your nose is red raw from blowing it. A good way to use it is to hold a hairdryer over the pot - it melts it into a liquid which is nice and soothing to apply.
Only downside - you get a few funny looks from your boyfriend when you climb into bed looking like you've just eaten a box of candles. Small price to pay though!!! |

My personal fav is Blistex Herbal Answer SPF 15. Has Aloe, Chamomile, Avocado, Jojoba oils & Shea Butter.
A must have for me, especially in the cold, drying winters in Ottawa. The only thing that keeps my lips smooth, moist and lovely. I use it along with Modèle's collegan lip treatment...the best I've found for plumping lips. |

I haven't tried the rosebud salve but wanted to mention that Sephora has it in rose mint. I think it's an exclusive of theirs.
I just got the Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment that Carekate recommended and, although I usually avoid anything petroleum-based (as is the rose salve), it is great! The .35 oz is easy to use as a lip balm / carry around. It lasts a long time without needing to reapply!!!!! Can't wait to try it as an exfoliant scrub using sugar per Carekate's suggestion as well  |

| I too am in love with Khiel's #1 Lip Balm and I also love Be Fine Lip Exfoliator-dab some on the lips and then wash off and my lips are soft, then I put Khiel's on. |

Second vote for Kiehl's #1 lip balm. But I haven't tried many lip balms yet. I will include that in my list  |

I've tried most lipbalm under the sun and finally concluded no lipbalms will do miracles.
But for peeling/chapped lips,
Laura Mercier lip silk is the best thing in the world. It gives you super soft flakefree lips overnight. I think there's AHA inside but it's pretty mild.
However, because it's exfoliating i wouldn't recommend using it as a regular lipbalm.
I just use random lipbalms and tend to avoid menthol/ peppermint oil/ lanolin now since my lips are quite sensitive.
Using Caudalie grapeseed lipbalm now which i think a lot of people might like. There's a very light, slightly sweet vanilla scent and taste. Cant beat that.
I have smith's rosebud salve and strawberry salve but I dont find them moisturising, a tad greasy but nice tint/gloss though.
Kiehls #1 was like overpriced vaseline for me unfortunately, but their baby lipbalm is quite good. (Mentholatum, a japanese brand, has almost a dupe of kiehls baby lipbalm, it's a chubby pink tube which says Soft Lips i think, but it's different to their usual skinny softlips range in terms of formulation/scent or everything else).
Mentholatum also used to do a lip gel which was so good, haven't been able to track this down though.
For pricy ones, YSL lip and nail balm wins hands down, there's a slight mango/melon scent and it's very moisturising without feeling heavy and glossy enough but still sits well under lipsticks. Not to mention it doubles are a nail balm. |

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for a lip care which can make the lips not dry even if do not apply it.
I used Kiehl's, Marykay, carmex(?)and rosebud before. But none of them can do that. |

| I have used and loved both the fresh sugar lip balm with SPF 15, it smells great, has an addicting texture that is rich and more like a humectant that a slippery-petroleum feel, like the Khiel's #!, which I do like just not as often. The only problem is the price. I have also used and loved the rosebud salve, the only problem is that it is from a pot so you have to scoop it out, but it also makes a great salve on cuticles or other dry spots. Burt's Bees original rocks on convience and price |

just curious
Do you rinse off the lip balm before eating something? I always do and have to take the lip balm with me. So the box-packed lip balm is not convenient.   |
