Lip Balm
Okay I'm a not so bright mid 40's male, just what is meant by lip balm? Chapstick? I'll need it in about six days.
Thanks
Mike

Re: Lip Balm
Not a stupid question, but why the 6 days?Okay I'm a not so bright mid 40's male, just what is meant by lip balm? Chapstick? I'll need it in about six days.
Lip balm = a substance topically applied to the lips of the mouth to relieve chapped or dry lips and cold sores. The balm is usually manufactured from beeswax, petroleum jelly, menthol, camphor, scented oils, and various other ingredients.
Not to be confused with lip gloss, which is similar, but generally has only cosmetic properties as it can be tinted any color and leaves a high glossy sheen on the lips.
There are lots of balms on the market and very easy to find, try your local pharmacy or drug store. Some well known brands include:
* Burt's Bees
* Blistex
* Carmex
* ChapStick
* Lotus Skin Care
* Tholene
My favorite lip balm hands done is by an online company called My Lip Stuff. There are over 250 flavors/scents to choose from and the ingredients are all natural. http://www.mylipstuff.com/flavors.html

I like Burts Bees and the tingle it gives. There are others that dont tingle as well. I'm getting braces hopefully this month or next month and lipgloss/chapstick has been like the #1 thing to have a lot of!!! I think it's attractive to see a guy use chapstick since some think it is 'girly', and I also think it makes ones lips more kissably soft...**^^**
