Chapped lips

[Kati*89]

I use Lucas' Pawpaw ointment from Australia - is amazing, use it for sores, bites, grazes - anything really - lasts for ages if you can get a kind person to bring it back!

Honey Stick from the Body Shop is my favourite. Ask for it if its not in display.

Merlod...I have tried pretty much every type of mainstream or obscure lip balm, conditioner, what have you and I am now a permanent regular customer for L'Occitane. Their lip balms are expensive, but last for such a long time. Seriously, I get 6-8 months out of one little tube, using it numerous times a day, every day. It's the only one I have found that tastes of nothing, isn't sticky, doesn't melt even if in jeans pocket all day and keeps my lips in better condition than they have ever been.

I have a few tubes now because when I misplaced one last year, I actually had tears of frustration and drove a lot 80 mile round trip to get some because I didn't want to wait two days to order and receive lol.

Genuinely, the best out there.

I use Burt's Bees! Have the pomegranate oil stick sorted my lips out in one day haha

I have incredibly sensitive lips - I have tried so many of the balms suggested on this thread and they just make it worse. The only one I like is Nivea Hydrocare.

Not only are my lips chapped but my face is chapped, red, sore and flaky all over. It's making me quite miserable.

I usually use the vaseline tin or my lips but it disappears within seconds and doesn't help at all. I'm allergic to all moisturisers but have started using Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse dry oil which helps a bit.

Are you my twin?! My forehead is shedding skin like its going out of fashion (eyebrow dandruff anyone?!) and my neck, and cheeks and nose and T spot like to get in on the action too. How I'm trying to deal with it is try not to scratch (very hard sometimes) and then I use some nice creams on it, and every so often if the itching is too much to bear I put on some mild steroid cream from the doctors, I don't like it - but needs must. Dietary wise I'm trying to be really good and eat very healthily, smoothies with avocadoes in (great for skin) no alcohol, and limited dairy (dairy not good for eczema)

These are my creams
This one is fab, really rich, and no perfumes and feels very soothing

This is a new one, is perfumed, but seems calming

And this is fab for smearing on before bed, or when you don't have to go out in public for a bit (I know it says for babies, but it is brilliant)

I also occasionally use Argan oil, which might be worth a go?

Try the aloe Vera Vaseline lip balm...works much better than just straight Vaseline in my opinion!

 

[Tiger21]

Definitely Blistex intensive moisturiser...used to love Carmex till I tried this. It doesn't smell particularly nice, but it certainly works

I really don't know what it is I'm allergic too but it may be the fillers/cream itself. Anything that goes on my skin brings me out in lumps and makes my skin sore, red, itchy and swollen. I keep promising myself that I'll get allergy tested at some point but never get around to it. For some reason I react a lot less to oils than creams.

I am trying very hard not to scratch my face but keep doing it absentmindedly when I'm talking to someone and the shower of flaky skin is pretty embarrassing!!!

Try this - https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/mv-organic-skincare-pure-jojoba.html, I swear by the stuff. I have so many creams made specially for eczema and none of them clear it up like this oil does.

I am another one that went cold turkey! Don't use anything now and no longer suffer!
