Do you have any tips for avoiding dry lips? Or if one has dry lips already, what can you apply aside from lip balm? Thanks

I find that vasalin works really good. I also use lip balm regularly. I love chap stick!

I only use lipstick when I go outdoors in cold and dry winter and clean it once I come indoors. lipsticks remedy our lip rapidly but can't save us radically, even worse it may break down lip's metabolism function and let us have to depend on the lipsticks afterwards. Taking up enough water and vitamin can solve dry lips problem, that is why I alway drink a lot of water and eat amount of vegetables an fruits...

My mother was tellin me (she's 78) that when they used to get dry chapped lips they would use Jergen's lotion, petroleum jelly, or Vaseline!

Hello dear glitzypurple. Usually lip balm is a good stuff to help with the dry lips, but if this is not to be used, I think that it would also be helpful by using some cooking oil. It helps as well.

I have only ever used lip balm type products on my chapped lips. I have used everything from Vaseline to Blistex, to Chap Stick and Carmex. As far as avoiding chapped lips I have no idea. I always manage to get them.

Apart from using vaseline jelly and lip balm I use butter for my lips as I find this helps.

a very good one is to use vaseline... it sucks in the moisture alot more than what lip balm does..i have used this many many times... if they are dry already put some on for the next day or 2... but otherwise you can get away with just putting it on at night and leaving it on throughout the night.. good luck
