Recommend your chapstick/lipbalm pls

missyjg · September 2011

I have horrible chapped lips. I've been drinking tons of water but they aren't getting any better. So I bought some regular chapstick but it isn't doing the trick. I had this problem when I was pregnant with B before, so I'm thinking this is hormonal. But it's driving me nuts. Anyone have any good products or magic cures? TIA

When I was on accutane, my lips were awful and the dermatologist told me to use carmex. I hated it at first, but it grew on me and did work great.

I second the Carmex. It doesn't smell the greatest, but it works so well. I love the little tingle haha

I use Carmex too! The stick, not the pot though.

Alright, I'm stopping on my way home (stick not the pot:)

Sidenote: Is there a lot of people with chapped lips or something? What's up with the views on this post. Weird.

I use carmex as well but the body shop use to be in my mall and i would get the hemp chapstick, that worked better than carmex. but they are no longer in my mall so carmex it is.

Carmex is the best, I'll take stick or pot

My all time fav is Palmer's brand Coco Butter Swivel Stick https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/palmer's-cocoa-butter-formula-swivel-stick/ID=prod768820-product?V=G&ext=frgl_Google_Personal_Care

I get mine at Wegman's usually...that's been the only place I've been able to find it.

Don't laugh but I use a tiny dab of Lansinoh, yes the stuff you put on your nipples while bf'ing. It works all day long, its great. I even converted one of my sisters! She thought I was kidding then she tried it, and hasn't gone back.

Hmmm, I'll have to try that. I think I still have a tube with my pump. Now to dig it out. Thanks!
