Dry lips

31 replies

SheStoodInTheStorm · 04/12/2018 21:18

Does anyone have any recommendations on lip products to help dry, cracking, tight lips please? I know it's a combination of needing to drink more and the heating.

Currently using PawPaw balm.

Thanks!

burts bees, or EOS organic (i have the blue one) :) x

I use Carmex's moisturizing lip balm. It comes in a squeezy tube which I find easier to apply than the stick variety.

Following for suggestions also. I've put some sudocrem on tonight in a last minute bid of desperation.

Pure vitamin E has transformed mine. I use it overnight, as it's a bit sticky, combined with any old lip balm during the day. No more flakes or dry patches.

Burts bees in the traditional twist up packaging.

Lanisoh

blistex alternate using it with the paw paw, which is good stuff and will protect your lips a bit from the cold and central heating.

Are you drinking enough water as that is definitely an underlying cause of dry lips. Always find Nivea Lip Butter great.

Cherry Carmex 🍒

Original chap stick in the black tube. Only thing that's ever worked for me

SilkandSteel · 05/12/2018 06:54

I swear by Palmers cocoa butter lip balms

GhostCurry · 05/12/2018 07:29

BinkyandBunty where do you get pure vitamin e? Is it a cream?

OP I use Aquaphor applied very thick at night. That helps. And yes, drink water.

LambChopsMcGee · 05/12/2018 07:42

I use Blixtex lip conditioner in the pot as my lip balm throughout the day and extra before I sleep. Been using it for ten years (since I first lived in Scotland, which killed my lips in winter) and it's great

LRP cicaplast lips is excellent treatment.

SheStoodInTheStorm · 05/12/2018 22:42

Thanks all! I definitely need to drink more, but after something that could help short term too. Lots of things to try!

Another vote for Blistex! Lansinoh in emergency!

BookMeOnTheSudExpress · 06/12/2018 06:07

Only thing that has ever worked for me is Carmex. Others add a bit of surface moisture, but Carmex seems to penetrate and stop actual lip-fraying on my lips

OneFlewOverTheMumsNest · 06/12/2018 06:53

8 hour cream or lansinoh both work for me and I get hideously dry lips at this time of year.

Sparkletastic · 06/12/2018 07:21

I second La Roche Posay Cicaplast. It's amazingly healing. Don't go for any crappy balms as they just end up drying your lips even more.

newcarsmells · 06/12/2018 11:34

I bought O'keeffe's Lip Repair on a whim recently and it has transformed my lips. I used to pick/bite all the little bits of dry skin so they were constantly chapped but now they've all healed up and feel soft and plump.
Best of all it was only £3!

OnlyonplanetMN · 06/12/2018 11:35

I use Burts Bees and make sure I put it on every night, without fail, just before going to bed. I very rarely have dry lips now.

Ineedahouse · 06/12/2018 12:24

8 hour cream is the only thing that works on mine - i am outside in all weathers walking to work/nursery/taking dogs out several times a day and this is the only thing that stops them getting painfully dry!

DoingMyBest2010 · 06/12/2018 12:32

I used to have cracked nipple cream that I used for my lips (well I was BF at the time), worked a treat.
