Best lip balm?

[MeadowHay]

I know there have been loads of threads about this before, but my lips are always dry and chapped in the winter months. I frequently apply lip balm, atm mostly either bog-standard Nivea cream, or the Hemp roll-on lip balm from the Body Shop. But neither of these seem to be really making it any better long-term, I just seem to constantly be reapplying and they're not getting worse but not better either. I'm going to buy a lip scrub and see if that helps too, but lip balm recommendations? Tinted ones would be good too. Also would like it not to have been tested on animals.

Thread about Nuxe lip balm, which gets my vote too!

Plain old Vaseline!

Carmex all the way! I think they do a tinted one, but I prefer the original. Put enough on and it's glossy.

Oh I sympathise. I'm currently liking Blistex Relief Cream.

It's the only thing that's helped me this winter.

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protectant. I couldn't live without it.

Another vote for Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Skin Protectant. I have even used Lansinoh that popular lanolin nipple cream and that worked just as well as the 8 hour cream! Oh no, does that make me weird.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour skin protectant like PP. Without sounding dramatic - it gets me through winter.

Carmex! One application sees me through the day and another one at night. I am eminently kissable!

Vaseline before bed, every single night. I usually spend winter chewing dry skin off my lips (I know, lovely), but not this winter. If you rub it into your hands each night it sorts your nails out too!

I don't usually use any lip balm. Lips were horrendous and I found an old vaseline at the bottom of a bag.

Lips were back to normal 24 hours later after applying over and over, next day cut down on how often I needed to reapply and it's been magic. Now just twice a day and will prob give up again in a few days.

P.S. Elizabeth Arden on half price at Superdrug too! Tempted to buy more even though I already have two tubes on the go...

The Dr Organic range at Holland & Barrett has some good ones. I like the tea tree oil and aloe vera ones, especially because they hardly have a taste.

I am extremely fussy about lip balms. Avon NZ made this absolutely perfect one with aloe vera and my Mum would post me across 10 at a time to keep me going. They've stopped making them now.

Nivea lip care or Vaseline aloe Vera have many in all coats bags etc works a treat

Nivea lip butter is lovely.

Blistex relief cream for very chapped lips.

Burts bees pomegranate is also good and smells lovely

I like the palmers cocoa butter lip balm. I thought petroleum jelly was drying?

Vaseline works for me.

BodyShop Lip Scuff ( abrasive stick) or Lush Lip Exfoliant (messy, but I use in the shower) in a jar.

Burts Bees (I have a Pomegranate one, slightly pinky) in my handbag
Neals Yard (freebie from a magazine) in my workbag (it's chocolate orange flavour but I don't like the flavour so I don't lick it off. Bonus)

Burts bees the honey one is my favourite and works a treat.

Eve Lom Kiss Mix. I have constantly dry lips and anything else just feels like it is sitting on top of my lips, or worse, makes them feel greasy but still dry. This works a treat. It isn't cheap, but you can pick up half price ones after Christmas if you decide you're addicted like it.

I've tried lots and my favorites are a simple no-name beeswax-based one from the natural store. Badger Balms and Reve de Miel from Nuxe are also great for overnight use. Burt's Bees is on my use-up pile but would not repurchase - the pomegranate one has a weird bitter vegetal taste iirc and I have another one (peppermint?) that makes my lips tingle. Not a fan of vaseline-based balms, I find them drying. I do, however, sometimes put Aquaphor on DD's lips when they are extremely chapped.

I use blistex if they're really dry. Once they're better I have a bit of a collection.

I've gone off lipstick, so if I want colour, I have Burt's bees lip shimmer which all taste the same. The names are for the colour. Fig is lovely darker red. Rhubarb v bright and apricot is lovely nude colour.

Then for really glossy I like lanolips. They do a fabulous banana one as well as a tinted one.

Then for no colour just protection, Holland and Barratt do gorgeous flavoured ones. Forgot brand name but I've got cola and gingerbread.

M&s has some nice ones too in pots but I find pots a faff.

Burts Bees (pomegranate my choice). Simple, doesn't go sticky or gloopy, you can use it right until the end. They do tinted versions too.
