Nothing is moisturising my lips. Heeeeelp.

[dailymaillazyjournos]

I've tried PawPaw cream, Clarins lip oil, vaseline, neutrogena stick thing and the flipping things are STILL dry. Is there anything that absolutely works for very dehydrated lips please? I can't use things like Carmex as I'm allergic to them. It's not a deficiency as my iron/thyroid are fine and I take multi vits and iron supplements from GP.
TIA

If you don't mind the thought of it then lanolin nipple cream is brilliant for dry lips.

I sympathise as I suffer from this too. Are they chapped as well? There used to be a cream called blisteze which was very good for cracked lips. I use Vaseline but it's not brilliant.

Best stuff I've ever used is Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip balm. Brilliant as a cuticle treatment too.

When you're on roaccutane (the skin drying drug) they recommend acquaphor.

I read that anything with a lot of petroleum in won't let your lips absorb any moisture. I'd never thought about but it's true my lips do feel worse when I remember to put vaseline on.

Vaseline is shut all it does is sit on your lips.

Blistex intensive moisturiser is the best thing, it actually moisturises!

Lansinoh nipple cream.

Coconut oil at night before bed

I second the lanolin nipple cream. My son gets terribly chapped lips and it sorts him out within a day or two. I use a discontinued Neutrogena one which comes in a pot and is brilliant. I have to order it online from Spanish pharmacies!

Did a first aid course, where they suggested that chapped lips is a sign of dehydration. Can you increase your fluid intake and see whether it makes any difference?

I gave very dry, cracked lips. Vaseline etc does nothing for them, they need something to heal them first. Blisteze ointment is really good, apply throughout the day. It can sting a bit to start with if the cracks are deep, or if the lip line is sore.

Blistex Relief Cream is my "when all else has failed" back-up. It used to be called Blisteze as missyB1 mentioned.

Burts bees.

5000 candles is right, the petroleum products can make things worse- in my family it does, i couldn't even use sudocrem on nappy rash.

Burts bees or neals yard products work best for us. Dc1 is particularly sensitive and burts bees lip balm is wonder stuff.

Creme de la mer lip balm is the only thing that sorts out my lips but it's deathly expensive. I really struggle, if I don't use this regularly they bleed twice a year

Nipple balm is a good second best.

Second Nuxe Rêve de Miel, it' feels gorgeous, works fantastically and makes me feel like I'm indulging myself every time I use it. Lasts well too, I do feel it's good value for money despite being the most expensive lip balm I've ever bought, it's my HG now.

When mine are that dry, it is usually a sign that (a) I need to drink more water and (b) I need to put some hydrocortisone on them, very thinly but sometimes it is all that will shift it if I've let them get bad.

Lanolips, it's the absolute best. Buy one get one free in Boots right now!

Lanolips lanolips lanolips!! I had cracked lips for 2 years after my son was born. Lanolips cleared them up within 1 week. Amazing stuff!

La Roche Posay have an excellent lip balm. DS' lips were in a terrible state after a week at an adventure centre, a couple of days using this and they were back to normal. Highly recommended

The Nuxe is the BEST. The pot version.

8 hour cream would be a second choice.

Blistex relief cream twice a day at least.

Clarins hydra quench lip balm. Ask for a sample they usually have them in, and as you already are a customer they won't mind.
