Every winter I get badly chapped lips. This year I've already gone through an entire pot of Body Shop lip balm, and my bottom lip is in danger of proper, painful cracking any minute now. I'm terrified of leaving the house and forgetting to take the balm with me. It hurts.
Is there something else I should be doing or using? I am pregnant, if it matters, so medicated balm might possibly be forbidden to me (it's really weird some of the stuff contraindicated in pregnancy!), but probably not.
Is there anything I can eat or do to help apart from keeping lip balm on my lips? I know some people say that balm makes it worse/keeps you dependent on balm all the time, but I really couldn't have avoided it with how dry and painful and cracked they got early this winter.
Should I start wearing a balaclava? Would that scare the shit out of people walking past me in the street? Might that be quite fun?
