Lip 'salve'

[Rosiefan]

I get very sore lips in this cold windy weather. What do you use/recommend to prevent the pain?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place

Blisteze. Fab stuff, works a treat.

 

[beh]

Just normal Vaseline always seems to work for me

 

[Nari]

Chapstick, but get a flavoured one because the original tastes horrid

Forever Living Aloe Lips. Best I've used, apart from the beeswax one which had minty stuff in which made my lips tingle!

Eliz Arden 8 hour cream is the only thing that works for me (and the horses). it's not cheap, but it really works. the big tube lasts well over a year if only used for lips, but occasionally if my face feels really dry after a freezing windy day outside then i use it as a super-moisturiser all over.

Carmex Lip Balm is fab stuff!

QR - hoped there'd be a consensus of opinion (on HHO - am I mad?) but thanks very much everyone. That's me off to the chemist tomorrow then

 

[meandmyself]

I like the green Nivea stick

Carmex or blistex.... both very good, i use it all the time as i sail boats alot for work/outside alot... and of course a stint up the mountians....

 

[AgentM]

Carmex if my lips aren't too bad, Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream if they are bad. It's amazing. Even if you just test it in boots or somewhere, it'll sort your lips out straight away!

i use blistex if they are sore...then nivea original lipbalm for the rest of the time

 

[Rosiefan]

thanks everyone - I'll abandon my pot of germolene then. Works reasonably welll but tastes and smells disgusting

 

[PennyJ]

Elisabeth Arden also do a lipstick thingy of the 8 hour cream, it's the only one that works for me.

Blistex is good but I also found a lipbalm in LUSH a couple of weeks ago called EGGSNOG & it's fantastic!

Smells v.christmassy so maybe I'll be fed up with it in another couple of weeks but we'll see.

Oh my well kept secret - product called Aloe Kote

White stuff used to sell it, but now you need to google it to find somewhere selling it!

It has lidocaine in it so numbs chapped lips (odd sensation!), has sun block and is super effective. Also using regularly seems to prevent cold sores too.

Another vote for elizabeth arden.... they also do tinted lip balms!!!!

Believe it or not I survived last winter with Clarins Lip Gloss!!!

Chapstick or the one I think is the best (lovely and minty) is Burts Bees. This one:
