TTC After a Loss

Rec your chapstick/lipbalm?

I use Carmex, but since there's salicylic acid in it, I'm going to switch.

Any recs for ones you love?

TIA

Re: Rec your chapstick/lipbalm?

  • I've been using Vaseline lately, as my lips have been very dry. The Vaseline works so much better than Chapsitck. (note: I am addicted to lip balm)

  • I use Burt's Bees also. I use the pomegranate with the red cap. The stuff with the menthol in it burns my lips and I don't like it. The honey one is pretty good too.

  • I ABSOUTELY LOVE Blistex Silk & Shine.  I had picked it up before my wedding in Sept09 and have used nothing else since!  It is and SPF15 and does not feel too think or greasy!  If my lips start to feel chapped, which is practically unavoidable in Ohio, One night of this stuff and I'm good again!  It's wonderful!

    Loove this stuff. I also use a little bit of it on my cuticles and under my eyes before I put my make up on in the winter.

  • I started using "SoftLips" about a year ago and LOVE it!

    I live and breathe Carmex!  For years now, why would you stop using it bec of the salicylic acid?  I mean, you're not using the whole stick?

  • I use the Burt's Bees, too - the citrus one with the orange cap - I think... it has SPF in it... my hubby uses it, too!
  • I still rock the Dr. Pepper lipsmackers

    Yes

    I also use Burt's Bees.  I got some great stuff from the Oral Surgeon when I got my wisdom teeth out and wish I could find it in a store.

  • I stocked up on Chapstick before I left my job since I got it at cost. I had at least a dozen, all different kinds. I am running out now and I don't like it enough to pay full price. Crying

    I like Carmex and Kiehls has a good one too.

  • Burt's Bees - fave is the pomegranate.  For a splurge I also like Korres lip butter (I have mango).  I also like Alba coconut cream.  YUMMY and it has SPF.  I'm a lip balm ho.

  • I have had a tube of Chapstick (the real thing) Classic- Strawberry EVERY SINGLE DAY since middle school (~20 years).  Wow, saying that out loud makes it seem a little weird.  Honestly I am obsessed, and very likely addicted.  I cannot be without it.  The strawberry kind is hard to find here so for several xmas my mom has bought be a whole box as a gift.  I don't know that it is the most effective, just my personal favorite.  I have used Burt's Bees before too and I like it, just not as much.

  • I use SoftLips Vanilla flavor. I don't think it "protects" as well as some of the others but I've been using it for ten years. DH even uses it.
