dry lips...

gingembre1 · Kate Spade

What about the lip repair chapstick that neosporin makes? You can find it at the drugstore. I think that Neutrogena also has an intensive night repair balm as well. I know you said you've tried Vaseline, but that's what really took care of my dry lips. I would say go with an intensive night repair/medicated balm at night, and just slather on the vaseline during the day. Basically, never leave your lips uncovered. And drink tons of water!!

i swear by origins lip remedy, and have slowly converted lots of people- even boys! it is $11

i swear- i have the driest lips ever. What helps me- FORCING myself to drink water all day long, and Kiehl's baby lip balm. Baby, not the #1 stuff. Seriously, its kind of goopy but it sinks right in. It's $7.50 at Nordstrom.

I swear by Aquaphor's Healing Ointment.

I apply it in the morning & before bed & haven't had any problems.

I also read somewhere that licking lips tends to dry them out. I tried it to see if it there was any truth behind it & low & behold, my lips were no longer chapped. I still use the Aquaphor to prevent any unwanted dryness & it's helped a ton.

I've used Rosebud and like it.But if you are at the point of no return I second Kiehl's baby lip balm........and WTF? I haven't been able to find mine so I've substituted my Ganache that I picked up while at Anthro the other day........Aquaphor works wonders also.Exfoliate your lips at nite and then slather on Aquaphor........it makes a difference!

Vitamin A&D in the baby aisle...it's used for diaper irritation but it's the best stuff for dry lips...my mom used to slather it on me when I was little and had dry lips.

you will second my kiehls baby, and i'll second your ganache for lips (i love chocolate raspberry) from Anthropologie and www.lipmedic.com. Those are the only two things I will put on my lips. If you have seriously dry lips, I would avoid petroleum or petrolatum (in most chapsticks, rosebud salve, maybe even aquaphor) because apparently it just dries your lips up further. Though many people can use it, I can't. It just makes my lips feel much drier after the chapstick wears off. These are the two best kinds I have found- I went from always chapped to always soft and kissable

I'll 3rd Aquaphor. I use it on any part of my body that is excessively dry. It's not the most soothing of things but it works, so it's worth it. It's so cheap, it's definitely worth having around the house.

Grace · Dooney & Bourke

Careful, I like aquaphor for dry skin other than my lips...it chaps them even more. But that's just me.

I love coco care cocoa butter lip balm. It's in a yellow tube, only 99 cents (at walgreens). This stuff heals my chapped lips so fast.
