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!
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.
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!!!
