What's your lip saviour?

[PurpleOctober]

As in, what do you apply day to day to moisturise?

I need to apply something constantly to avoid dry lips.

Lansinoh. From boots. Amazing stuff

O'keefes, little orange lip balm. It's been absolutely brilliant on my lips, even through the summer with constant air conditioning. Normally my lips are terrible but this one really works for me.

Nuxe lip balm. The best ever

Another one for lansinoh. I couldn't be without it.

eek ... doesn’t lip balm add to the dryness?
L’occitane shea butter balm works for me ...

Burt's bees. Great stuff

Or kahl's if I am feeling flush

Nude, the one in the pot.

Carmex, if economising, the one in the pot.

Kohl' s even

Nuxe, not Nude.

I’m an absolute lip balm/cream/oil obsessive and have used everything. Literally everything!

Complete game changer was using up some hyaluronic acid on my lips, haven’t had a hint of dry/cracked lips since.

I still apply lip balm throughout the day but need it less and previously I would still get periods of dry or cracked lips despite constantly applying.

So what I do now is dab on a bit of water so my lips are slightly damp, pat in a drop of hyaluronic acid, give it 10 seconds or so until it’s almost but not quite dried in then apply lip balm. I do that once in the morning and once at night.

I don’t think it matters too much which balm you use after, it’s just about sealing it in - I use Carmex.

I suffer terribly. Last year I ended up at the pharmacists as they were so dry, cracked and flakey. She recommended body shop hemp lip balm, amazing stuff. This year I am trying burts bees lipbalm.

Nuxe - Reve De Miel

Absolutely love it!!! Cheap but incredible!

I got it on Cult Beauty (along with lots of other nice potions!)

Carmex is the best I've used.

Dr PawPaw. Best stuff ever. I've used carmex, lansinoh (gave me round the mouth zits) but this and loccitane Shea butter are the best I've found at maintenance.

If they're split then blisteze in the metal tube.

Nuxe is fantastic. One application makes a difference

Nuxe in the jar, there's a new ultra nourishing version out that I keep meaning to pick up, but using the normal one at the moment. I use it on it's own in the day, and at night I put a layer of squalane oil on, let it absorb and then put a thick layer of the Nuxe on. Works wonders.

Dermal Therapy is the absolute best thing ever. Not sure if you can get in the UK though sorry!!

Another vote for Paw Paw ointment - my lips get in a terrible state if I'm using petroleum based products too much (Carmex is the worst). Paw paw is the only thing that brings them back to normal!

Malibu (the suncream) lipcare. spf 30 with uva/ubv protection and its water resistant. Loads of nice flavours and only 3 for £1:50ish in home bargins.

Lansinoh

Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream. Best thing ever. I never go anywhere without it, it’s great on dry skin, skin irritations, cuts , minor burns, etc etc. Just about everything gets a smear of it.
There is a reason why it has been going , unchanged for 88 years .

It’s not cheap ( about £25) but it lasts for ages and is a must in my house and handbag.
I can’t recc9mend it highly enough.

La Mer lip balm. So pricey but the only one that doesn't add to the dryness.

Burts Bees lip balm. I carry it everywhere with me. The pomegranate one is slightly tinted too which I love. Best lip balm I’ve ever had.

This stuff. My lips get so dry & cracked, especially at this time of year. This stuff sorts them right out in a matter of days. It's a bit freaky deaky when the dry skin starts peeling off though, a la sunburn!
