What is your favorite lip balm to moisturize your lips and prevent cracking during adjustments? Thanks

My favorite is Carmex Spearmint flavored moisturizing with SPF sunscreen.

My lips don't crack as long as I have some form of lip balm on. The type doesn't really matter. My regular dentist actually gives her patients minty lip balm, and I got some from my oral surgeon too, so I'm use those right now. Teatree mint is great XD

Some no-name brand in a tube with Vitamin E from GNC. Very convenient. Colorless and unscented so you can apply it constantly without even having to look in a mirror.
I use Carmex in a pot at bedtime.
I also use Bath & Body Works C.O. Bigelow with almond oil in a squeeze tube, the white tube with black and blue writing.
And I top it all off with shimmer lip gloss.

Oh, one I can't stand is Burts Bees. It has a waxy unnatural taste.

Blistex's original, the one in the little pot.
Doesn't go yukky-white at the corners of your mouth when it dries (like some

), and has that lovely cocoa butter scent. Mmmm!

Gotta throw in another vote for Carmex. Been using it for years - especially during the chilly, dry winters here. Works wonders!

Forgot to mention... Burt's isn't my favorite, but it's awesome!

My lips went absolutely haywire after I got my brackets, so I've tried several things in the past two weeks...
Original chapstick: my old standby failed me...
Conditioning chapstick (blue tube): great for multiple daily uses when things are just a little dry, but not horribly painful
Blistex medicated: great for painful lips, very cool sensation!
Carmex: very good for healing, but I find that it burns a little when I put it on very tender lips
Blistex lip protecting ointment: I use it every night... burns and then cools, but does wonders for keeping my lips in good shape

I recently got the mint and cinnamon lip balm from bath and body works (they come in a red tube, or just mint comes in a green tube) I really like it and its supposed to freshen breath too.
Burts Bees is also a good choice!

I use Carmex in the tube, but I've also used Blistex sticks and love them, too! It's so dry here in Colorado that I'm always using lip balm and moisturizers. Yes, I do drink lots of water, too!

I am so totally addicted to chapstick! I sleep with chapstick under my pillow!! If I wake during the night I will reach and put more on!! I am not too picky about what kind, but I found some that I LOVE from a website
www.faceofthewave.com Their chapstick is so smooth and not waxy. My fave is a flavor called vanilla banilla. Alot of times I will just use vaseline too.
