I find chantecaille lip gloss does the trick, have not had dry lips since have been using this daily

Virgin Vie's Guardian Angel aromatic balm is good, but pricey (I got loads of samples when I had a VV party), apart from that another vote for Blisteze or whatever it's called now for really scummy lips. Lush ones are pretty....well, lush, too, also vaseline with aloe vera.

glad to see some khiels supporters out there. good isnt it. i too have tubes / pots scattered around the place.

LadyTophamHatt · 02/03/2006 16:44

Carmex.

fantastic stuff.
I have 1 pot in my make bag, 1 in my handbag and 1 in kitchen.

I'll never be without it.

I was just looking on spacenk to see if I could send DH to get me something tomorrow and I found this \link{http://www.spacenk.co.uk/SpaceNK/ProductDetails.aspx?productid=0220%2f4794%2f10009%2f&category=PSKINSKLIP&language=en-GB\nipple cream as lip balm}

Kiehls - I panic a little if I go out without a tube. In fact there's even one in my car!

dd1 suffers with dry, cracked lips all the time and I find vaseline helps most.

burts bees Grin burts bees Grin burts bees

it is the best lip balm in the world, I used to put on lip balm loads and loads of time each day, Now I only need to put some on couple of times a day.

also taking fish oil can help.

carmex for maintenance

if truly horrible and scabby, then the blistex medicated one is good (then revert to carmex once worst is cleared)

sanchpanch · 02/03/2006 21:33

blistex daily conditioner, small white pot, especially if they are sore as well, this is slightly antiseptic and tingly, i love it

Earlybird · 02/03/2006 21:44

Another vote for Eve Lom. Use it everyday.

And for all you Burt's Bees fans - have you seen they now do coloured/tinted lip balm? Got some in America over Christmas, and it's my new favourite thing.

NannyL · 03/03/2006 00:02

I use Vaseline! works perfectly for me
