Best product for chapped lips.

[SheWhoDaresGins2]

They are dry, cracked and bloody sore.

Vaseline with aloe vera aint doing anything, if anything they feel worse.

What do you use/recommend?

Carmex

The reason Vaseline doesn’t work is because it’s a barrier cream not a moisturiser. And it’s petroleum based so dries the skin.

I use a home made concoction of beeswax and coconut oil.

Thanks everyone!

timeforachangemethinks Im interested in your suggestion, have you got an image please, so I get the right one. Thanks

FruminousBandersnatch I never knew that, no wonder they feel worse.

Oh, and drink lots of water. Chapped lips are a sign if dehydration

I Keefes gorilla balm - in Sainsbury's at £3.50. Seriously it is the best thing ever - just looks shite. www.google.co.uk/search?q=o%27keeffe%27s+lip+repair&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari#lbl=OVERVIEW&pie=plaji-i

Hurraw lip balm is good - natural ingredients, very moisturising. Better than Burt’s Bees and more convenient than the Nuxe one.

The Nutritic lip balm from La Roche Posay. My husband suffers terribly from dry lips at times and swears by it.

Carmex. And it's like £2.99 from Boots. It's all I use.

Benefit benebalm if you want some colour too;
Nuxe Reve De Miel;
but my favourite ever (it’s a miracle!) is the Dr Organics Coconut lip serum. I get them from Holland and Barrett and keep a few in different places (car, purse, bedside table, work). It’s amazing.

Blistex. It takes the burning feeling out straight away, and heals it up really quickly.

A fairly thick layer of bepanthen overnight is the only thing that helps my lips. I use carmex in the day because it looks less weird but bepanthen every night.

I love Carmex. It has to be the stick one for my though, I don’t like the one in the pot or the tube.

You can get the stick one from home bargains for under £2

Lanolips - costly but effective.

Carmex in the yellow squeeze tube with red lid is working a treat for my lips. I normally suffer really badly with sore lips but this seems to be keeping it at bay.

Blistex! Amazing stuff.

Kamillosan - the only stuff that works properly for me.

Definitely burts bees .. the one where the lid is the same colour as the tube.. it's excellent and doesn't leave a greasy film on your lips. Even my husband always has one in his pocket! 

Also to use along side for a bit of colour, their coloured lip balms a nice ... the ones in the really thin tubes

I sound odd but me and my DD get awful dry lips that spreads upwards making us look a little bit like the joker, I put bepanthen on us!

Carmex if nothing better is on offer. Otherwise Blistex. I suffer terribly, and love the stuff.

To be a bit more specific: I use the yellow tube/red top Carmex every night, without fail. But Blistex is really better, and I use that during the day when a night-time dose of Carmex isn't enough.

Another vote for Lansinoh or the generic Boots equivalent. Absolute magic. Use it on hands and feet too to heal cravued skin.

Carmex original in the yellow tube with red lid. DH and I both use after each time we brush our teeth and no issues even in depths of winter.

A good lip scrub will do wonders for chapped lips because it will get all the dead bits off and smooth them out. Use the scrub and then a lip balm straight after to keep them hydrated and prevent more chapping
