Chap Stick?

A few of my favorites, for what it's worth:

-- ChapStick All Natural, it smells nice and isn't as intense as the others on this list
-- Burt's Bees (normal variety) stays on much longer, but some people find it overwhelmingly pepperminty. They make a honey version which is less powerful.
-- Medicated Blistex (dark blue-green tube) for the times when the cracking gets so bad it bleeds

Yup! Here's a description of the honey one. Also there is a Lifeguard's Choice variety which I've never tried, better for protection from the sun if that's an issue

Hi, my name is TuZZi and I'm a lip balm connoisseur.

I am hardly ever without at least 3 tubes within easy reach. If one day I have a brain fart, and forget one, I end up at the store within hours, no matter how many I tell myself I already have.

The one thing that puts me off of a balm, or gloss, or stick, is the nasty aftertaste some leave in your mouth when using them. Some of the nastiest after tastes have some of the yummiest starting tastes. So because of that, I would say I throw at least 30 tubes away after maybe 3 tries each.

The best I've found so far, have been Aveeno "somethin or other - super moisture, minty feeling" (I can't find it right now and it's stressing me out,) Chapstick Vanilla Mint, Blistex Mint, Labello Orange, Softlips Strawberry, and eventhough I hate the aftertaste of it, The Body Shop Vitamin E stick works well in the winter.

So you may ask why I mention all this? Well, because of my "problem" I just ordered $50 worth from mylipstuff.com. Thanks Eleni!

Throw that chap stick out!
Get Carmex, i had a huge chapping problem before i started rubbing carmex on my lips. Matter fact i got a cracked spot on my lower lip and my mother in law gave me some carmex and i have to swear by it. It works. That cracked spot was gone in 3 days and didn't cause any more problems.

Update:

Day 12, and what seems to be working very well is Aveeno Intense Relief lip balm. I would highly recommend it.
