I have dry chapped lips..i tried carmex but it really doesnt work?

what else could work...someone told me coco butter?





i also work in a freezer so im constantly in negative 10 degree weatherI have dry chapped lips..i tried carmex but it really doesnt work?
Carry around chapstick with you at all times so that whenever you have some free time, or feel your lips getting chapped you can use it before they get really dry! Burt's Bees Lip Balm works great, Lypsyl is really good too. I don't use Blistex though I've heard it works. DON'T use any of those weird lipgloss-tinted-glittery-flavored chapsticks or anything. They just make it worse. Hope I helped!I have dry chapped lips..i tried carmex but it really doesnt work?
maybe vasoline to keep it moisturized? you may want to try a sloughing lotion to get the dead skin off, making them really drier than they should be. Keep hydrated, that is really a factor, and maybe try keeping a scarf, or mask/snow cap over your face while working
you can use a body moisturizer on them too. try something like jergens ultra healing lotion.
I go to a health food store and use some natural lip balm that helps a lot, but it wouldn't necessary be avail. to you depending on what area you live. So just try the different ones that they have in a health food store until you find one that works god for you. Or try putting pure olive oil on your lips. Hemp oil is good too!
I swear by Blistex ointment .... It's the only thing that works for me. I am addicted to it!!

This may sound silly but brush your lips with your toothbrush. It helps remove dry skin. And always keep your lips moisturized with a lip balm like chapstick when at work.

I have had cold sore /dry skin at left side of lips been using carmex what else would you suggest to make ?

go away?I have had cold sore /dry skin at left side of lips been using carmex what else would you suggest to make ?
Try using an over the counter antiviral medication. Abreva is one. It is expensive, but it works. Cold sores are caused by a herpes virus. The antiviral medicine stops the virus from replicating, and the cold sore clears up.I have had cold sore /dry skin at left side of lips been using carmex what else would you suggest to make ?
i hav same problem


i'm trying these new discs that are for cold sores but i cant tell if they're working yet

  • My lips are severly chapped and i drink water EVERYDAY and use carmex.whats wrong with me?

    a few days ago i had to little bumps on my lips then it advanced into six little bumps then about two days later they went away and my bottom lip was just swollen.


    all the bumps are gone now but my lips are VERY chapped.


    what do i do??!!


    thanks :)My lips are severly chapped and i drink water EVERYDAY and use carmex.whats wrong with me?
    You may have picked up a germ or something from a contaminated carmex or lipstick or you may have gotten fever blisters. Fever blisters are a virus. You need to throw your carmex away since it will now be contaminated if you used it on those blisters. The virus will now be in the carmex and It will just give you the blisters again.





    What most people don't realize is that chapstick, carmex and blistex are all addictive. People get so addicted to using them that it finally doesn't work on their lips. Same thing with eyedrops your eyes adjust to the drops after a while and they don't work anymore.





    When the winter is over try going a day or so without the chapstick, or carmex so your lips don't get used to it all the time. Also switch around to different kinds and that can help. Plain old vaseline will also work to help chapped lips. That was what we used before chapstick and carmex was invented.My lips are severly chapped and i drink water EVERYDAY and use carmex.whats wrong with me?
    Instead of using carmex you should try to switch to blistex or soft lips...or the plain old chapstick. The trick is to put it on regularly. It really helps when you apply it on after you shower and drink water.
    put on nipple cream, it moistens dry chapped lips, works wonders.

    Carmex lips balm for 10 months old in 30 and under temp out...chapped/cracked lips?

    I had taken a little Carmex lip balm for my son's (10 months) lips, since we take the bus and it is under 30 degrees outside when we leave the house and since his lips got chapped and bled some a couple weeks ago, but my bf (the father) said I should not do that and he doesn't need that. Is it bad to put some on his lips before we head out?





    I just don't want his lips to dry out again and crack and bled again.Carmex lips balm for 10 months old in 30 and under temp out...chapped/cracked lips?
    He will be fine...I did it to my lil guy when he started getting chapped lips a few months ago..I had hospital lip balm..pretty much a stick of vaseline..lol..and it worked..to make bf happy..get some unscented no flavor chapstick..Carmex lips balm for 10 months old in 30 and under temp out...chapped/cracked lips?
    All carmex is is vaseline, unless he knows something that we don't about when you should put it on he should be fine, vaseline wont hurt him.
    As long as it's not the medicated stuff, should be fine. Or if it's just a preventative measure why not use plain Vaseline?it works just as well.
    The only thing I think is Carmex (awesome stuff, btw) is really mentholated feeling on the lips. It is really ';stong'; feeling...it it may irritate a little one.





    We are in super cold weather here too, and when Mag's lips (5.5 mo.) looked chapped I put a little petroleum jelly on hers.





    If he didn't act like it bothered him, then I wouldn't be too worried.
    I would say it's fine if the label says 6 months +. If dad's still upset, why not try vaseline? Your son may not need the medication in the Carmex -- just the lubrication to moisturize and prevent them from getting chapped again. Vaseline will do this.
    I'm not a doc but I'd think that any of the nipple balms marked as safe for breastfeeding (it'll say ';no need to wipe off';) should also be safe to put on his lips.
    I don't think it will hurt him if not used to often but carmex has some other ingredients in it that he could become alergic too.. I used vaseline or maybe just plain old chapstick?

    CARMEX LIPS :)?

    What do you think about kissing a girl wearing Carmex lip balm?





    Or what is the best thing to wear if you plan on kissing? (Chap stick? Lip gloss? Scented? Colored? You know...)





    And I don't mean sloppy kisses, hahahaCARMEX LIPS :)?
    my honey and I both use carmex so it works out lol.CARMEX LIPS :)?
    Haha. I have this stuff called ';sexwax lipbalm';. Haha, I like it. Its not like perverted or anything. Sexwax is just a brand of board wax. but anyway, guys seem to like it. But i think it might be the name.... :]
    yeah if he wants his lips medicated...lol try some lipgloss..not to much though!
    Not everyone likes what you may like. Try going without any balms. Just be sure your teeth and breath are clean and fresh.
    I don't see what is wrong with carmex? It's better than having chapped lips!
    nothing!
    carmex like burns so...no not a gud idea!





    id advise vasaline...a thin layer.
    Wear a smile, its better then anything you can get from a makeup shop (yeah sounds gay but its the truth sister!)
    some guys don't like anything on them. But i would suggest a thin layer of lip gloss. may i repete thin.

    Is carmex addictive to your lips? does it only make them more chapped?

    Is burts bees better?Is carmex addictive to your lips? does it only make them more chapped?
    I know a lot of people who claim to have been addicted to caramex. I was too. I don't know if it makes them more chapped. I've never heard of anyone saying they were addicted to Burt's Bees so it may be better.Is carmex addictive to your lips? does it only make them more chapped?

    Hi!


    Does anyody know any recipes for something that makes your lips soft? Thanks so Muchh!!!


    Oh and is carmex lip stuff good?


    THANKS!!! :)Softer lips? Carmex?
    no dont use carmex when i was little tell i was in 8th grade my lip had a big cut in them and when i used carmex it worked for a week or 2 then my lips got worse so my mom gave my berts bees and then after we put vaseline on my lips now the smooth as thay can beSofter lips? Carmex?
    I leave Carmex on overnight. It works better than anything else I've ever used.
    i'm a nuse and i use carmex for patients





    and for a healthy look go for chapstick





    and for a shiny and tasty look, deffinitley go for softlips... luv it
    sry dont know any homemade stuff but carmex is great i luv it





    answer mine pleasssssssseeeeeee


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
    the best is soft lips





    its amazing





    you can get it like at walgreens
    YESSSS Carmex is awsome, here are the positives to is:


    - inexpensive


    - mosturizes very well


    - gives your lips a great shine


    I would definatly suggest that you use it
    i don't know of anything homemade, but if you're looking for something completely natural and which does an awesome job of moisturizing and softening lips, i'll have to say: John Masters Lip Calm! ingredients below:





    Organic olive oil,* organic beeswax,* organic avocado oil,* shea butter, jojoba oil,* kukui oil,* wheatgerm, vitamins A, C %26amp; E, essential oils of organic vanilla, lime, tangerine and ylang ylang
    I hate carmex because it tastes bad and after it dries up on your lips it makes it feel really dry. Try Neutrogena Lip Moisturizer SPF 15 or Aveeno Lip Conditioner, Essential Moisture SPF 15. They both work great. Also try exfoliating your lips first with a face scrub then apply the lip moisturizer. You lips will definately feel softer.
    carmex is best if you put it on before going to bed and after brushing your teeth. And yes, it is fantastic stuff.





    For day, I use a tinted Burt's Bees product instead of stick or gloss. It's as good as Chapstick and looks a lot prettier.
    yea carmex rocks!! and i take Vaseline and i put it on my lips then i rub gently in circles with an old toothbrush. this gets rid of the flaky skin. then i make sure to put on chap stick every night before i go to bed!
    Carmex is good. When my lips are really in bad shape %26amp; split the best thing is Blistex ointment (comes in the tube). The ointment is nice and smooth %26amp; slightly medicated and heals chapped lips %26amp; little blisters.
    vaseline is awesome
    i use vaseline.


    what u do is put vaselin on your lips and wait 3-5 minutes. then wet and old toothbrush and brush your lips ( it sound weird but it works very well ) then wash the vaseline off.

















    for best results i do this WHOLE process 2x











    BEST OF LUCK

    If i stop using carmex, will my lips peel off more?

    my lips peel off like every 5 days. a lot of people said that i should use carmex but some said that once u start using it then u should use it forever or your lips will chap even worse? is that true? if it is. then what lip balm should i use that will stop my lips from peeling off and i don't have to use it again.If i stop using carmex, will my lips peel off more?
    no, but no one's lips are always smooth. I carry a chapstick w/ me all the time. people think it's weird, but it's really not. carmex is pretty good, or burt's bees, it's all natural.If i stop using carmex, will my lips peel off more?
    I have Burt's Bees and I love it! Otherwise, use Chapstick (the Chapstick brand) instead of Carmex. Carmex feels like it may moisten your lips, but it makes them more chapped (from my experience). Otherwise, find a lip gloss that helps moisturize also.

    I have a few little blisters on my lip that itch and I have been using carmex on it to keep it from drying out

    but was wondering if anyone else had this problem and what is the bets thing to use to get rid of them fast... its on bottom lip....I have a few little blisters on my lip that itch and I have been using carmex on it to keep it from drying out
    Little Blisters on your mouth that itch are called Cold Sores or Fever Blisters (Herpes Simplex 2)...get some Abreeva at the Drug Store.Do It NOW since these blisters are HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS and will spread rapidly...Do NOT KISS(while you have these blisters),Share Drinks,Food or Lip Products with ANYONE as they will also contract Herpes 2...once this Virus is in your system it is there for the rest of your LIFE. Don't Spread It!I have a few little blisters on my lip that itch and I have been using carmex on it to keep it from drying out
    first, find the origin of the blisters.


    using carmex is defeating the purpose because it has camphor in it, which will dry it out. i would use a triple antibiotic like neosporin.
    IN the words of Mitch Hedburg: ';I have a cold sore that I put Carmex on to help heal it faster. Carmex may not help it heal faster, but it will make it shiny and more noticable';.
    wash with non scented antibac. soap rinse mouth out with listerine. Don't pick at the blisters.. and you can try abreva it's a over the counter med.
    It is most likely a form of herpes, try herpecin or lysine (sp?) or denavir from your doc.
    Try Abreva. It costs, but it works.

    Best way to treat my lip? i got hurt from basketball now every time i eat it hurts, i use carmex, and ice?

    need treatment i cant eat anything cant even lick my lips, lips is hurting and stinging very badBest way to treat my lip? i got hurt from basketball now every time i eat it hurts, i use carmex, and ice?
    Time is all that will cure this. Try taking some pain relieving medicine like Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Keep applying ice.


    You should also try eating pureed or pudding consistency foods until your lip feels better. (Popsicles %26amp; yogurt)

    What do your wipe your carmex finger on when you are done rubbing it onto your lips?

    Hi Porkchop,


    I have wiped it off on My Dads shirt that was hanging on the bar stool.


    I was to lazy to go to the sink and wash it off with soap. I guess i need a little kick in My Butt..


    Your Friend,


    poppy1What do your wipe your carmex finger on when you are done rubbing it onto your lips?
    What's a carmex finger?





    I have a thumb, index, middle, ring, and pinkie fingers.





    Are you a six-fingered mutant?
    eeeeww!! that's just gross. isn't carmex for cold sours? wow! that's why only the finest will touch the lips of a Princess. vicki's secret gloss, CHANEL, MAC baby!!
    Myass, i try to avoid things that chap myass and the residual Carmex seems to provide a protective barrier. My lawyer could care less if I talk about this.
    Kleenex would be the preferable choice, but covertly patting someone on the back seems to work too.
    My lawyer told me not to answer this as it would have a direct bearing on my impending trial. :)
    I don't use carmex for this reason..





    I use blistex in the tube, rub on, no fingers to get nasty..ha ha

    Does carmex make your lips bigger?

    i have really chapped lips and every 4 or 5 days i have to peel it off because they're dead skin. what should i use to stop it from dying? and someone told me that carmex makes your lips bigger. is hat true?Does carmex make your lips bigger?
    no it only make them look that way





    unless you get an allergic reaction





    i suggest lip gloss, its pretty lol and it will make ur lips less chapped. i didn't wear lip gloss for a long while and my lips got chapped. id also suggest cool reflections lip moisturizer and blistex.





    carmex is good for ur lips too. but i wouldn't suggest it. if u accidentally get in ur mouth IT TASTES HORRIBLE lol. and it comes off very easily. it moist but i wouldn't suggest it





    another thing dont peel ur lips. i know many people do that. hun, it


    is not good for ur lips. if you peel it off it hurts ur lips even more. i used to do that and well my lips were in bad shape





    GOOD LUCK HUN!





    PS Its a good choice when you buy stuff for your lips to make it moistDoes carmex make your lips bigger?
    thats gross Report Abuse

    No, just makes them look bigger, Vaseline works just aswell
    only if u r allergic to carmex it might cause it to swell...but otherwise nuthin should happen
    only if you have a serious allergic reaction. watch out now! woo.
    Carmex will moisturize them. Try wearing it when you go to bed, and they will be smoother when you wake up.


    In a week, they will be completely healed.





    Another problem is, that you keep peeling them.


    STOP THAT !


    That will make them continue to be rough and dry.


    They will never heal if you continue to peel.


    MOISTURIZE THEM INSTEAD.





    And no, Carmex won't make them any bigger than they already are. Are they big?





    Oh, try punctuation, capitalization, and a spelling-grammar checker, too.
    i never heard of that and i doubt if its true... use blistex

    Is it true that carmex really makes your lips dry so you will go and buy more?

    like it moistureizes at first but then it gets dry later?Is it true that carmex really makes your lips dry so you will go and buy more?
    No, that's a myth.


    People just get so used to the product that they end up using it more and more, and also forget to use other moisturizers on their lips.


    There are no addictive properties in any sort of lip balm.Is it true that carmex really makes your lips dry so you will go and buy more?
    YES!!! I went to my dermatologist (i go monthly) I am on Accutane and it dries out everything! He asked me what I used on my lips and I said Carmex! He goes stop right now because the methol in it becomes addictive so people overuse it! He gave me samples of aquaphor and it is the best stuff ive have ever put on my lips!
    I hate carmex I will forever stand by Blistex!! I don't know if that is the case with carmex but I do think it dries the lips out!
    that's the first time I've heard that...i don't think so.
    No, my lips were cracking so I got some cherry carmex lip balm and they are fine now so it obviously worked.
    yep. it gives you really tingly, soft lips but once it dries it dries out your lips even more, so just have to keep using it.


    i'll admit to being a victim.. lol =]
    idk but i have always wondered that about lip balms, Like they make them dryer so you go and buy more.... and more..... and more... etc. Thats a good question, but sorry. I don't have the answer to it. I would consider the thought! =)
    It doesnt, you just have to treat your lips like you want them.
    NO!

    How can I fix my lips if i've been using aquphor/carmex like ten times a day for the past 5 years?

    I've heard that it is bad to use chapstick that much and that your lips eventually stop producing natural whatevers to protect them from being chapped. Is there anything I can do besides try to stop using it as much (it hurts so bad because my lips get so chapped)?How can I fix my lips if i've been using aquphor/carmex like ten times a day for the past 5 years?
    Just kick the carmex/chapstick habit cold turkey, give it a few days time and your lips should be fine again, if you use that stuff all the time your lips become too dependant on it for moisture.How can I fix my lips if i've been using aquphor/carmex like ten times a day for the past 5 years?
    Carmex is for really dry lips but since you've overused you could try something like Vaseline that won't burn and will help with the dryness. Lay off the Carmex for a while :)

    I use Aveeno and its great (has natural ingredients and spf 15What is better and stays on your lips for longer: Carmex or Burt's Bees?
    They both work really well. Carmex feels more oily than Burts does, to me, anyway.





    Carmex is really good to use overnight, while Burts is great during the day.





    Yes, Aveeno works well, but I have found that it seems to come off easier.
    I BELIEVE CARMEX
    I tried them both. I thought Burt's wore off too quickly and my lips didn't feel moisturized to the same extent that Carmex moisturized them. I like Carmex better, but it smells like medicine so if I want a nice scent or taste, I put some gloss over it.

    Can Carmex acutally make your lips more plump and full because of the menthol?

    lol if menthol made skin/lips plump, my whole body would be. menthol just gives that tingly feeling that many companies use so you think something good is happining to your skin.Can Carmex acutally make your lips more plump and full because of the menthol?
    OMG! i've noticed that too. i put it on and was like 'wow'. it's a really cool thing. i don't know though about all the scientific stuff thoughCan Carmex acutally make your lips more plump and full because of the menthol?
    I haven't noticed that effect. I do know it makes them tingle a bit though and if you eat or drink anything with it on your lips it tastes really bad.

    Use something with Lanolin in it. ie. Burt's Bees....I have extremelly dry lips and carmex doednt help...what should I use?
    Go to walgreens and look for Yes to carrots...





    they have this lip balm and it is wonderful...

    Is carmex good for your lips?

    I heard from an esthetician that the lanolin in it can shrink your lips over time. But it's the only thing that works for me in the winter. Any other lip care suggestions?Is carmex good for your lips?
    Use carmex. Is carmex good for your lips?
    I use both. I put on carmex just at night so my lips have some extra protection while I sleep, and then I just use cherry chapstick all day.





    I don't really know about that lanolin business, have you seen any hard evidence for it?
    I think it's fine for your lips, but after a while when you get used to it, when you stop using it you'll find your lips will be even drier. I personally like Burt's Bees, they have a great line of lip balms.
    i use burts bees or blistex - i love blistex
    Od on chap stick :3
    Yep i use it %26amp; it keeps my lips soft so i guess
    no there is some ingrediant that isnt good
    yes

    Carmex squeeze tube or Burt's Bees lip balm?

    Which one works the best? I could care less about the price.Carmex squeeze tube or Burt's Bees lip balm?
    My vote goes to Burt's Bees lip balm.





    Carmex is petrolatum based so it keeps the moisture out instead of putting moisture into your lips.Carmex squeeze tube or Burt's Bees lip balm?
    I use burts bees honeycomb...it works awesome...No complaints here....i even have all my friends addicted to it...It works great....I live in maine and can use it every season...it protects wind, cold, chapped, or sun and burning...i love it
    i personally prefer the burts bees because it smells so much better and i think it works about the same
    Burt's Bees is fantastic! They also make a line of lip tints that give just a hint of color......I'm not a fan of Carmex, hate the way it feels and smells...just my opinion.
    Burt's Bees or Kiss My Face balms are better and more natural than carmex.





    My favorite moisturizing balm is from Jenulence though...better than all three listed above. I don't need to apply it as often, it's 100% natural and works perfectly.
    Carmex :D
    Burts Bees!
    in my opinion i use burt's bees lip balm because it smoths the lips and it works everytime and even the celeberties recemend it i really dont care about the price it just works better
    Burt's Bees. Your lips get addicted to Carmex!
    I think Carmex works better, but I hate the smell. Burt's Bee's is wonderful and tingley, but DO NOT get the ';Lifeguard'; kind with the red cap. It will go on white and STAY WHITE! Ew. I hear Carmex has a cherry flavored balm now; I would give that one a try!
    carmex is definetely something i have grown to be attached to. i take my tube of carmex everywhere and apply it all throughout the day. it definetely keeps lips healthy, but it also makes lipgloss last longer. i love how it feels and how well it works. definetely carmex.
    Carmex all the way!

    Okay..so I switched from softlips lip balm to carmex...?

    and yes, I know I had some probs with it in the past..but not anymore!I love it! Just want to know...jar or click stick? I have the click stick but...is the jar better? Based on a lot of reviews people prefer the jar because it's the original...


    So basically, stick with the stick or when finished with the stick buy the jar? p.s. no squeeze tube recs (I find ALL squeeze tubes awkward in application...)Okay..so I switched from softlips lip balm to carmex...?
    The stick because it works just as good as the jar with less the mess and you don't have to get it on your fingers.Okay..so I switched from softlips lip balm to carmex...?
    The drawback with the jar is you should always have your fingers clean so you don't get germs in it. The reason i like the jar though is that i can always massage a bit into my cuticles on a really dry day to revive them. And i can always dab a bit on my nose if i have a cold and want to moisten my bore sore nose, and it helps heat there too. The Tube is awkward for this.
    jar





    this is a very weird question though..
    i use carmex jar
    Get the click stick because your fingers are dirty and then you get it all over your hands and you are carrying germs sticks are alot easier

    Does carmex really work for your lips? Does it really last 120 days lke the website says?

    I have some carmex products and just wondering if the acid is good or bad for my lips?Does carmex really work for your lips? Does it really last 120 days lke the website says?
    i have the small pot of it and it lasts a reaallly long time. i put it on at night right before i go to sleep. i wouldnt suggest using it during the daytime because it puts a whitish film on your lips that'll make ur lips look ashy. but it works pretty well.Does carmex really work for your lips? Does it really last 120 days lke the website says?
    idk about the 120 days but i just got a new one with tons of make up i got for christmas and i can open it yet,:{ i do need it cause it's winter and i have chaped lips:[ really good
    yes its perfect for anyones lips and it really lasts for 120 + days
    actually chap stick is great for your lips despite an above answer. Licking your lips is bad. I personally dont like carmex because it feels like its burning my lips. I stick to chapstick brand. the below is my favorite (chapstick moisturizer tube) and it works the best imo and i'm a chapstick addict!
    I'm not sure if it lasts for 120 days because I usually lose mine and have to buy a new one. Carmex products helps soothe chapped lips and make it soft texture. It absorbs in the skin but I like to use it at night before I go to bed. In the morning you will have soft lips.
    Wearing chapstick is actually bad for you. Believe it or not, it dries out your lips, which is why you have to constantly re-apply, whether it be minutes to hours later. I just tried to find the article I read that from, but I can't because it was like years ago... I think they said Burt's Bees is the worst. Anyway, I lick my lips from time to time, and never find them chapped. Also, guys think it's sexy when you lick your lips ;)

    Many, many lap balms are NOT good for musicians. Far and away, the most-used by professional wind instrument players is ChopSaver. It was MADE by professional orchestral brass players - all relief, no tingle or burn. You can get this from www.lipmedic.com.

    Burt's Beeswax!

    If i stop using carmex, will my lips peel off more?

    my lips peel off like every 5 days. a lot of people said that i should use carmex but some said that once u start using it then u should use it forever or your lips will chap even worse? is that true? if it is. then what lip balm should i use that will stop my lips from peeling off and i don't have to use it again.If i stop using carmex, will my lips peel off more?
    no, but no one's lips are always smooth. I carry a chapstick w/ me all the time. people think it's weird, but it's really not. carmex is pretty good, or burt's bees, it's all natural.If i stop using carmex, will my lips peel off more?
    I have Burt's Bees and I love it! Otherwise, use Chapstick (the Chapstick brand) instead of Carmex. Carmex feels like it may moisten your lips, but it makes them more chapped (from my experience). Otherwise, find a lip gloss that helps moisturize also.

    Myass, i try to avoid things that chap myass and the residual Carmex seems to provide a protective barrier. My lawyer could care less if I talk about this.
    Kleenex would be the preferable choice, but covertly patting someone on the back seems to work too.
    My lawyer told me not to answer this as it would have a direct bearing on my impending trial. :)

    Does carmex make your lips bigger?

    i have really chapped lips and every 4 or 5 days i have to peel it off because they're dead skin. what should i use to stop it from dying? and someone told me that carmex makes your lips bigger. is hat true?Does carmex make your lips bigger?
    no it only make them look that way





    unless you get an allergic reaction





    i suggest lip gloss, its pretty lol and it will make ur lips less chapped. i didn't wear lip gloss for a long while and my lips got chapped. id also suggest cool reflections lip moisturizer and blistex.





    carmex is good for ur lips too. but i wouldn't suggest it. if u accidentally get in ur mouth IT TASTES HORRIBLE lol. and it comes off very easily. it moist but i wouldn't suggest it





    another thing dont peel ur lips. i know many people do that. hun, it


    is not good for ur lips. if you peel it off it hurts ur lips even more. i used to do that and well my lips were in bad shape





    GOOD LUCK HUN!





    PS Its a good choice when you buy stuff for your lips to make it moistDoes carmex make your lips bigger?
    thats gross Report Abuse

    No, just makes them look bigger, Vaseline works just aswell
    only if u r allergic to carmex it might cause it to swell...but otherwise nuthin should happen
    only if you have a serious allergic reaction. watch out now! woo.
    Carmex will moisturize them. Try wearing it when you go to bed, and they will be smoother when you wake up.


    In a week, they will be completely healed.





    Another problem is, that you keep peeling them.


    STOP THAT !


    That will make them continue to be rough and dry.


    They will never heal if you continue to peel.


    MOISTURIZE THEM INSTEAD.





    And no, Carmex won't make them any bigger than they already are. Are they big?





    Oh, try punctuation, capitalization, and a spelling-grammar checker, too.
    i never heard of that and i doubt if its true... use blistex

    Why does carmex make your lips look bigger?

    i have chapped lips but they said that carmex makes your lips look bigger and i already have big lips and i don't want them to look bigger. is there any other products that will stop my lips from peeling offWhy does carmex make your lips look bigger?
    Smith's Rose Bud Salve or Kiehl's Lip Balm





    I also personally use Carmex, but have never noticed my lips looking bigger than normal. I like the natural sheen I get from using Carmex and use it daily in place of lip gloss or lipstick.Why does carmex make your lips look bigger?
    berts bees, chaostic brand, blistex. i reccomend them in this order
    vaseline

    Is it true that carmex really makes your lips dry so you will go and buy more?

    like it moistureizes at first but then it gets dry later?Is it true that carmex really makes your lips dry so you will go and buy more?
    No, that's a myth.


    People just get so used to the product that they end up using it more and more, and also forget to use other moisturizers on their lips.


    There are no addictive properties in any sort of lip balm.Is it true that carmex really makes your lips dry so you will go and buy more?
    YES!!! I went to my dermatologist (i go monthly) I am on Accutane and it dries out everything! He asked me what I used on my lips and I said Carmex! He goes stop right now because the methol in it becomes addictive so people overuse it! He gave me samples of aquaphor and it is the best stuff ive have ever put on my lips!
    I hate carmex I will forever stand by Blistex!! I don't know if that is the case with carmex but I do think it dries the lips out!
    that's the first time I've heard that...i don't think so.
    No, my lips were cracking so I got some cherry carmex lip balm and they are fine now so it obviously worked.
    yep. it gives you really tingly, soft lips but once it dries it dries out your lips even more, so just have to keep using it.


    i'll admit to being a victim.. lol =]
    idk but i have always wondered that about lip balms, Like they make them dryer so you go and buy more.... and more..... and more... etc. Thats a good question, but sorry. I don't have the answer to it. I would consider the thought! =)
    It doesnt, you just have to treat your lips like you want them.
    NO!

    Best way to treat my lip? i got hurt from basketball now every time i eat it hurts, i use carmex, and ice?

    need treatment i cant eat anything cant even lick my lips, lips is hurting and stinging very badBest way to treat my lip? i got hurt from basketball now every time i eat it hurts, i use carmex, and ice?
    Time is all that will cure this. Try taking some pain relieving medicine like Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Keep applying ice.


    You should also try eating pureed or pudding consistency foods until your lip feels better. (Popsicles %26amp; yogurt)

    How can I fix my lips if i've been using aquphor/carmex like ten times a day for the past 5 years?

    I've heard that it is bad to use chapstick that much and that your lips eventually stop producing natural whatevers to protect them from being chapped. Is there anything I can do besides try to stop using it as much (it hurts so bad because my lips get so chapped)?How can I fix my lips if i've been using aquphor/carmex like ten times a day for the past 5 years?
    Just kick the carmex/chapstick habit cold turkey, give it a few days time and your lips should be fine again, if you use that stuff all the time your lips become too dependant on it for moisture.How can I fix my lips if i've been using aquphor/carmex like ten times a day for the past 5 years?
    Carmex is for really dry lips but since you've overused you could try something like Vaseline that won't burn and will help with the dryness. Lay off the Carmex for a while :)

    They both work really well. Carmex feels more oily than Burts does, to me, anyway.





    Carmex is really good to use overnight, while Burts is great during the day.





    Yes, Aveeno works well, but I have found that it seems to come off easier.
    I BELIEVE CARMEX
    I tried them both. I thought Burt's wore off too quickly and my lips didn't feel moisturized to the same extent that Carmex moisturized them. I like Carmex better, but it smells like medicine so if I want a nice scent or taste, I put some gloss over it.

    I just brought this carmex lip balm...?

    why dont u wrap ice in a paper towel?? hmmmm i wouldnt risk it. i am using carmex right now...but on my lips.....on my mouth lips.

    !ewwwwww CARMEX LIP BALM!?

    ok so i was hearing that carmex u know the lip stuff well i heard that its made of either two things: either cow or whale sperm.but look sounds kinda nasty but thats what i heard


    i thought is was just a lie because come on now who is gonna go do that to a cow or a whale !ewwwwww CARMEX LIP BALM!?
    no, it's a ';blend of Menthol, Camphor, alum, salicylic acid, phenol and fragrances in a base of petroleum, lanolin, cocoa butter and mixture of waxes.';





    under FAQs:


    ';Does Carmex include an ingredient made from sperm whales?





    You may be thinking of spermaceti, which is also called cetyl ester. It鈥檚 a synthetic wax made in a laboratory鈥擭OT the wax which was years ago derived from whales.';!ewwwwww CARMEX LIP BALM!?
    have you seem jackass #2 the movie, yeah they do that, but it doesn't have any type of sperm but it does have an active ingredient that apparently makes your lips dryer, i hate it but some people swear by it
    Lol, where do people hear this stuff?!





    Although Carmex isn't good for your lips since they have petroleum jelly in it which dries the lips.





    =]
    That how urban legends get start. Carmex has menthol in it which drys your lip and your need more. Use a Vitamin E stick.
    That's just a crock of bullshit.





    Carmex is great.
    Even if it was, it's still amazing.

    I need alot of answers! so keep on answering!Burt's Bees or carmex lip balm? I NEED ALOT OF ANSWERS!
    well it depends...............





    PERSONALLY, i think that carmex works a lot a lot better on healing your lips, however many people don't like it because of its smell or cause it burns ( just a little bit, not badly or anything)..............








    on the smell of carmex...... most people don't like the original smell, but now it comes in mint, cherry (not gross cherry medicine cherry, but good cherry), and i think raspberry... so that also makes a difference





    HOWEVER, i think Burt's bee works well and i really like the scent and the feeling when you put it on..... it tingles....





    it depends on what you want in chap stick





    I would say Burt's bees just cause i like the texture in a stick better than the balm carmex came in, BUT carmex now comes in a stick so like that too








    well, I HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!!!!!!Burt's Bees or carmex lip balm? I NEED ALOT OF ANSWERS!
    I prefer Burt's Bees, even though the smell of Carmex sets off some fond childhood memories.





    I prefer BB because the balm generally lasts longer when applied and the ingredients are more natural. And I have a thing for the smell of peppermint, though that's more of a personal thing.





    But if you want something to shield your lips vs. moisturising them I would go with Carmex. Carmex seriously feels almost like a shield when I have it on.
    Burts bees isn't what it used to be.


    They sold the company to Chorox a while ago and they plan to mass market it and cheapened the formula. Burts bees also gets too sticky at times and it doesn't work as well as Carmex.The only good thing about Carmex is the menthol mint affect but its also too gooey and is packed with chemicals. I personally can't use any of them because they contain lanolin (im allergic).





    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanolin





    Try the Lypsyl lipbalm,i think its better than burts bees and it uses honey( a natural and effective moisturizer).





    http://lypsylhome.com/lypformulas.html





    Its avaliable at local drugstores.


    You could also use Vaseline lipbalm it works wonders.


    I love the packaging on the Lypsyl that little bee stick is so witty!





    Hope this helped.
    Burts Bees is better FOR SURE !


    i LOVE this product, i dont know what i'd do without it


    i used to have REALLY bad lips, its was not only dry and cracked, the skin was peeling of a LOT, it was so gross, i tried so many different products, none of them worked. then i bought Burts Bees and now, my lips are so much healthier, all the peelings are gone, i apply every night right before i go to bed and its working GREAT for me. i would definalty recommend it
    i use to be obsessed with burts bees the tin the stick you name it i have it couloured ones.


    got over that quick works amasing dont get me wrong,


    but i now prefer water lip blam its made by water companys most have one.


    they keep your lips nice and smooth %26amp; hydrate them which i would have to say is healthy.
    I've always been a carmex fan. I guess addicted might be a better term, but recently my husband bought burt's bees for himself.


    As it turned out I really like it. I haven't bought my own or anything, but it is really nice, not like chapstick which I hate.
    both are ok.





    I like the Co. Bigelow lipgloss from Bath %26amp; Body Works. It has sunblock lipgloss, different flavors and tints.





    Chapstick is also a TOP TOP TOP brand. Probrably the most popular. Different flavors, too. I applied it one or two times a day for two days and it unchapps my lips pretty quickly.
    burt bees cause carmex has this addicting ingredient to it, you can even search it up, burt bee is just natural and it works perfectly fine =]
    i personally love burts bee's it doesnt feel like its on your lips when it really is and its not all gunky like carmex. but if you get burts make sure you dont get the lifegaurd one other wise your lips turn white
    Burt's is much better.

    I love Carmex, and it works really great and fast. I have used it myself for last minute pimples, and it helps everytime!!!

    Why do so many people like Carmex? (Lip product)?

    i use carmex because i have eczema and i used to get crazy dry skin around my mouth, and the carmex provided a long lasting layer to let my skin heal.


    i put it on at night really thick so it doesn't wear off by morning so my face isn't so dry.


    besides prescription steroid cream, nothing else that i have tried has worked as well.Why do so many people like Carmex? (Lip product)?
    it has a cooling tingle and is best for chapped lips


    it makes them smooth and gives a quick shine on the go


    also you can get it in a tube, which is the personally my favorite for easy access, and comes in stick form or a jar. i like the original but i believe there is cherry and other flavors like strawberry etc. Yum!it also helps smooth , mosturize, and soften your lips. you can use it befor lipstick or lipgloss to even and prepare to put something dry on .


    you should try it out!Why do so many people like Carmex? (Lip product)?
    Carmex's popularity is due, in part, of its name-brand status. Consumers know that if they buy the product, a certain level of quality is guaranteed.
    I like it because of the way it works. My husband says he can't use it because of the way it taste, but you should not eat it!
    Personally .. I hate the taste but it does the job on chapped lips...





    But as a regular every day chap stick...





    Use the one in the purple tube i think its called silk





    ITS AMAZING





    Tastes like gummy bears!!!
    Because its sooo smoothing and soft on your lips. It also moisturizes really well. I use it under my lipstick/lip gloss and it makes them last for hours.
    ..i guess its okay if you have severely chapped lips.
    Carmex blows. Burt's Bees does not blow.
    because it consists of my semen and a bull testicles its the perfect combination

    Why does carmex (lip stuff)?

    Get a funky smell after awhile?? Does it mean its old. And get rid of it?Why does carmex (lip stuff)?
    Yes, you're right. The oils and waxes used to make Carmex (and most lip balms) will go rancid after a time and get that 'funky' smell you mentioned. Toss it and get another one.Why does carmex (lip stuff)?
    people above right
    ive heard that carmax actually wasnt good for your lips...its dries them out.
    no!! CARMEX iS GREAT. iT JUST CAN TEND TO SMELL ';FUNKY'; BECAUSE iT iS SOO STRONG!
    It's fat-based, so the fat goes bad. You can still use it, but the smell will probably bug you, since it will be right under your nose.


    You can prevent the smell by keeping it in the fridge when you're not carrying around in your purse.
    no its still fine but you might not want to use it because of its smell
    no it doesn't mean that its old it just that way but it heals cold sores and chapped lips and more but to get of the smell when your not using it put it in the fridge
    o ya carmex i rember her she was so american she was always puttin her lips some were that carmex but have a great day kiddo scottie form philly.

    If I use carmex and lip-balm on lips daily will that make my lips softer?If not what would be the best way?

    it will help, but vaseline is the best!If I use carmex and lip-balm on lips daily will that make my lips softer?If not what would be the best way?
    Keep doing what you are doing. Soft lips are a part of healthy skin too!





    If you discontinue use of lip balm products, your lips will be cracked, dry and uncomfortable.





    make it a part of your daily beauty regimen....





    ...I Do!!!!If I use carmex and lip-balm on lips daily will that make my lips softer?If not what would be the best way?
    Make a washcloth wet with cold water and GENTLY massage each lip for about 30 seconds each. More or less time depending on how dry your lips are. After this dab some vaseline on. The exfoliating will plump your lips a little as well, so this is a great method for people with thin dry lips.





    (You can also use a toothbrush.)
    Your lips can get addicted to carmex and lip balms and may be extra dry when you don't use them. Try vaseline.
    i think chapstick works...and o yeah, stay hydrated by drinking water that ALWAYS works no matter what store bought product you use.
    If your lips are feeling really dry, open up a Vitamin E capsule and put that on your lips--total moisture.


    Burt's Bees is pretty much bomb at softening lips while making them smell good :] check them out, they're for sure at CVS and they used to be at Bath and Body works www.burtsbees.com


    Carmex can be addicting for your lips like soemone else said plus it smells reallly bad and burns your lips because it's a medicated formula for cold sores.
    well lip balms do make the lips softer so yeah.. also u can wet your toothbrush and exfoliate your lips which will take off the dead/dry skin. then put on some vaselineor lip balm n theyll be soft
    I acually use burts bees wax lip balm, and that works really good, but if you want soft lips fast use the Neosporin lip treatment stuff. and don't use carmex because it acually attracts sunlight and which can burn you lips.
    Yes, anything that keeps them moist is going to make them softer.

    Heating up Carmex lip balm?

    On cold days, or wen your hands are cold, wen u spread carmex on ur lips it feels solid and unspradable so wat i do is i put it on the radiator to warm it up. its become quite running/ soft. wat i want to no is but doin this would it lose its effectiveness as a lip balm (not protect my lips as well)Heating up Carmex lip balm?
    Carmex also comes in a soft plastic tube with one end sealed off and another end that is rounded (see the ones on top at this page: http://www.carma-labs.com/#/Products/Car鈥?/a> ). Just use that instead of the hard plastic kind and keep it in your pants pocket before using it. The radiator can overheat it and lead to separation and can completely melt the stuff in the hard plastic tube.





    It stays pretty soft even in cooler weather. ...but it will be really hard to get out of the tube when it is freezing cold. If you cap it well and just put it in a pocket to warm up it works perfectly.





    ...and the stuff in the soft tube still tingles and it comes in flavors like the stuff in the hard tube.Heating up Carmex lip balm?
    I see no problem in this, though don't put it in the radiator for long. I do not believee it shall ose effectiveness or harm your lips.
    not it wouldnt loose its effectiveness, but why dont you try the rose tinted vasaline its easier to spread in cold weather and give your lips a healthy tint of pink!!!!!

    How do you get rid of chapped lips besides Carmex and chap stick and drinking water?

    i use blistex medicated lip ointment. it works really good.... happy holidays!

    Do you like carmex lip balm?

    I use it all the time but everyone I know hates it.


    I love itDo you like carmex lip balm?
    yes the one in the tube works really good i use it a lot in the winter to keep my lips from getting chapped when it's really cold or if my lips are already chapped i'll put a real lot on before i go to bed and when i wake up they'll be fine! i love it :)Do you like carmex lip balm?
    I love it. I love the texture.
    i'm absolutely in love with it.


    it's amazing.


    i like the cherry flavor the best.
    no, i like burtsbees personally nothing and i mean NOTHING can beat that lip balm
    I like it......
    I use it because it doesn't make my lips peel.
    I don't like them, they smell bad... A little like car lubricant or something... lolz!


    but I'll have to agree that it's really good, I uses them whenever i have really dry lips... Cause it is good for healing dry and chap lips..!





    Enjoy!
    gurl i love it to! it works great and its smells great too! LOL
    i love it and use it...i also use chapstick cherry or watermelon flavor
    No I don't. I'm addicted to Chapstick, however. Well I'm not so addicted now, but I was for about 10 years.
    'Tis the best!
    no i dont like it. i never did. kind of burns my lips
    i like it but it doesn't moisturize anymore. I must have used it for too long, every night for the past 6 years. I use Blistex now. But my favorite chap stick is Bath and Body works.
    Chapstick! Carmex has a funky taste to it.

  • Does Carmex brand lip balm contain fiberglass?

    Screw Carmex, get some Burt's Bees lip balm. Its the best!!!Does Carmex brand lip balm contain fiberglass?
    I don't know if it contains fiberglass, but my dermatologist told me to stop using it. She said that it does not help your lips. Have you ever noticed that you keep constantly applying it over and over. It chaps your lips. She suggested anything with moisturizer like chapstick. I had been a loyal user of Carmex until my dermatologist told me about the problem. Now I used Chap stick and have not had that problem. Hope that helps.Does Carmex brand lip balm contain fiberglass?
    YES!!! Carmex also has the highest quantity of camphor allowed in the product by THE FDA!! --not a good sign. The microscopic fibers create small abrasions in the lips with actually make them worse.. a vitamin E stick will work much better!
    I hope not! I use that all the time! If you find out, please let me know!

    If you have a blister on your lip would u use carmex or toothpaste or both! which one is faster?

    which one is faster b/c i have a prom this fridayIf you have a blister on your lip would u use carmex or toothpaste or both! which one is faster?
    From my experience carmex works wonders just over nite, there are other products, but none works any faster. I keep carmex in my first aid pack, used it for years.If you have a blister on your lip would u use carmex or toothpaste or both! which one is faster?
    If you have a fever blister and can get a doctor to write a prescription for Zovirex it will take it away quickly. Take 5 pills one day and 5 more the next day then take no more. I do this and it works great.
    I would take a piece of ice and hold on there til you cant stand it and take off for a minute and then do it again for several time thru the day it will freeze it and dry up. really works.
    Soak a q tip in hydrogen peroxide and tap it on your lip several times a day. 3 or 4 times at least each day. That should take care of it. HP is really healing.
    i'd use bongela! it tastes nice! =]

    Carmex Lip Balm? Is it good for lips?

    carmex is amazing. it makes your lips so soft and chapped lips just disappear.some places its like 2 bucks, but you can also find it for like 25 cents. ((same size))Carmex Lip Balm? Is it good for lips?
    Its the best you can find!! I love it good price great moisturization I have never used anything that worked better. I always have carmex in a jar or tube with me at all times. Ive tried using colored or flavored lib gloss/balm and it always did the opposite for my lips My lips are never dry with carmexCarmex Lip Balm? Is it good for lips?
    i actually havent tried carmex. but i love blistex because its very good for curing chapped lips and it feels good too.
    Yes it works good
    This is probably the best OTC remedy for dry chapped lips out there and its extremely cheap. I like the mint chapstick but would choose Carmex over chapstick any day. Use it!! :)
    Yes, it is ... but DO NOT use it every day. Using any 'lip balm' or other product (even lipgloss and lipstick) can 'dry' your lips out to the point that your lips will chap if you DON'T wear them ... but if you want to use it for an 'undercoat' when you are going out, it works wonders ... and the 'color' you add over the top will 'stand out' better, because of the 'moisture barrier' the Carmex Lip Balm adds.
    My dr. told me not to use it because you tend to lick your lips more when you use it making your lips even more chapped.
    yeah, my aunt uses it all the time


    thats the only one she uses


    but if you have like cuts on your lips it stings and heals
    Only if it has a sunscreen and you don't over use it. All of these products tend to become addictive so to speak, and the lips feel moist upon application, but actually cause more dryness.

    Does carmex lip balm cause cancer?

    If it did, I dont think it would be around as long as it has been.Does carmex lip balm cause cancer?
    consumer products are required to go through rigorous testing, if there was any sign that carmex caused any sort of ailment there would be a huge scandal and it would be pulled from shelves immediately.





    if you can't find information easily on the internet about something like this...and have to come to y!a, i'm sure it's false.Does carmex lip balm cause cancer?

    TOTALY. It is a mirical!!!!!!!! Whenever I put it on they are imediatly softer, smoother, and moisterized. Carmex lip balm...has anyone used it...is it really as amazing as they say?
    I used to always use Carmex, but now I never do, because there is a chemical in it that is addicting and dries your lips out even more then they already are causing you to use more and then dries your lips even more and then on and on and on. I would advise you to stop using Carmex now. I hope this helps.
    Carmex is my second favorite. My first favorite has to be Burt's Bees. Since I always seem to lose mines, I always have a dozen(literally) all over my house. I love this stuff.





    I love it because it's cheap and it works. I love the cherry one. I tend to like the tube form the most.





    It's not going to give you dramtically fast results. Just stick with it for at least two days. Apply it often when your lips start to feel a big dry. Your skin .. or lips.. will start to absorb the product in %26amp; then that is when you will see the results.
    Carmex is actually made for drying out cold sores. Most chapsticks and lip balms on the market are cheaply made and have drying agents in them so you use the product quickly and buy more. Try Mary Kay lip balms. They moisturize for up to 6 hours and one has SPF15. www.marykay.com for a consultant
    Well being a guy all I can say is I have used it several times for dry chapped lips and it always worked great for me. If you would like I'll be willing to do a kiss test with ya
    I love it. I only use it when my lips are extremely dry though. It takes a few applications before you see that it helps though. Try putting it on and going to bed. You will be amazed at how good it works.
    Well, i use it....





    my lips were severely damaged due to biting and peeling, it cleared it up pretty well...





    it can be addicting though... works effectively though..


    as long as you continue use.
    i don't really like it that much...it's okay but i like blistex but the ultimate is soft lips..

    Is Carmex Lip Balm bad for you?

    No, it's acutally supposed to help you, if you have chapped lips. After I put it on, it's really soothing, and I feel refreshed. lol, but anyways, i like it, but it does have a bad smell. i cant put it on in front of my mom, she hates the smell ;)








    xoxoIs Carmex Lip Balm bad for you?
    Not necessarily, but it's not really meant for everyday use - mainly for severely damaged lips (chapped, cold sores, etc.) I strongly recommend Burt's Bees original lip balm - it's soothing, freshens your breath, and is (if I'm not mistaken) all-natural, so it's not harsh on your delicate skin.Is Carmex Lip Balm bad for you?
    No it isn't bad for you at all.


    I have used it for years.


    In fact, in the winter, my hands have cracked around my cuticles and I have applied it to the area and the next day they were fine.


    It can be used for other areas as well is my point.



    nope its the best! well i reckon its good... i always get cracked lips in winter and i use carmex which makes my lips soft...
    Not at all. Unless you're eating it or something. =]

    Does any body no how to get weird of cold sores i've tried carmex and lip clear help please?

    i've had it now for 3 days and been using the carmex and lip clear any suggestions Does any body no how to get weird of cold sores i've tried carmex and lip clear help please?
    Abreva cream, and the Amino Acid supplement called L-lysine at a local drugstore near the vitamin section. Works WONDERS.Does any body no how to get weird of cold sores i've tried carmex and lip clear help please?
    I've had cold sores before. They are terrible. I tried Abreva, but it didn't work. What really works is called Valtrex. Its a huge pill and the minute your cold sore is tingling you take a pill and it will prevent it. If you already have one it will be gone in a day or two. These things are amazing. I think you need a prescription for them though. Not too sure.
    Many of us already have the cold sore virus dormant in our bodies, and never have a flare up of cold sores. We contracted it as children, as it is a very common virus, and children pick it up easily as they often share food and drinks, and may be less concerned about hand washing and hygiene. Cold sores can be transmitted even when the person does not have a cold sore, though it is less likely to happen then.





    There is no over-the-counter medication or home remedy that cures cold sores. Only time will take care of that. But there is a good prescription medication for cold sores. It will make them go away much faster, and as a result of taking this medication you will have far fewer outbreaks of cold sores.





    The absolute best treatment for cold sores is a prescription medication in pill form called Valtrex. It was intended for genital herpes, but cold sores are caused by the same family of viruses, and Valtrex stops colds sores in their tracks. None of the other treatments come close to the effectiveness of Valtrex, not the ointment Zovirax, and certainly not Abreva or anything else. Ask your doctor about it to see if you would be a good candidate for this medication. My doctor prescribed it for me for cold sores about five years ago and after taking it only a couple of times I hardly ever get a cold sore any more, and before Valtrex I was having several attacks a year. On the rare occasions that I do get one now, it is gone almost immediately when I take the medication - in about a day. In the meantime, here are a couple of informative links.

    Try compeed patches. They get rid of my cold sores in only two days.

    Carmex is a lip balm used to heal chapped lips. Can it be used on Cold Sores (Herpes)?

    You can use it, but it only helps with some of the symptoms. Abreva is an over the counter med that is used to treat/shorten the healing time and there are also prescription meds that may help: acyclovir or penciclovir. Be careful not to contaminate others through kissing, sharing lip balm, etc.Carmex is a lip balm used to heal chapped lips. Can it be used on Cold Sores (Herpes)?
    All meds have possible side effects - your pharmacist or doc can help answer those questions. Lots of people use these meds with positive results and no problems. The Abreva is probably the best tolerated (lowest risk of side effect) and if that doesn't help, see a doc about acyclovir, et al. Report Abuse

    Does carmex help with lip discolouration?

    My lips are dark and I want them a tone or 2 lighter. Would it help??? If not, any other suggestions?? I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.Does carmex help with lip discolouration?
    Carmex will not lighten your lips or change it's color. Carmex is just vaseline (petrolaum jelly) with some menthol, camphor and fragrance. None of these things change your skintone. To lighten skin on your lips you'd need to use a skin lightener. Look for Kojic acid or hydroquinone. If you can find them mixed with vitamin c you'll have better results. The tone of skin and lips is determined by melanocytes in the skin. You have to lower the production of these melanocytes to lighten any part of your skin. Try looking for eye creams that advertise to ';lighten dark circles'; then read the packaging for kojic acid, and hydroquinone. The eye creams are moisturizing enough to use on the lips.Does carmex help with lip discolouration?
    I don't think carmex is gonna help, and it won't turn your lips yellow either. Try something from Sally Hansen...they have good lip products. I use them myself and love them.

    I know petroleum (like petroleum jelly) is very bad for your skin. So maybe having that ingredient in it is what may cause cancer in some people. I won't use anything that contains petroleum products. I use Bee-Luscious lip balm.Can Carmex lip balm really give you cancer? Why or Why not?
    what???
    anything can give you cancer theese days
    I use Carmex several times a day and have never heard that. It is suppose to be good for people who have fever blisters. I guess anything can cause cancer.
    It could be they are talking about the petroleum found in most lip balms. That is why I get the all natural lip balm from the Bee-Luscious Holistic line. It is great and tastes really good too.

    Does Carmex Lip Balm heal cold sores?

    I'm at the erly stages. its inflamed red and forming. bubbilish. no scab yet.





    will it heal it?Does Carmex Lip Balm heal cold sores?
    Yes you bet cha it does, it's medicated chapstick/lipbalm made just for that. Note that you will definitely feel a tingly feeling, almost like it's warming up a little. Not trying to be funny but Herpinsin L works great as well (they're for the same thing) Cold sores plus chapped lips.


    If you don't like the original sent Carmex they now have it in strawberry, it's a little more pleasant.





    Just keep in mind that it is not a quick fix. While you're waiting for it to heal be sure to get loads of vitiman C, so go heavy on the OJ (I know, I know, thats going to sting a bit)





    If that doesn't work then you might have to see a dermatologist.





    Good luck hon.Does Carmex Lip Balm heal cold sores?

    if u dont want the cold sore to advance into the other stages


    put ice on the cold sore


    it'll feel cold, but its work it %26amp; it wont hurt as much :]
    Yes. Carmex was created for cold sores, but it also works well on dried lips. It might not heal it immediately, but it will soothe it and minimize it.
    For me, not anymore than vaseline. Try some Abrevia. It seems to shorten the duration. Use it as the package says to.

    What kind of lip moisturizer do you use (Carmex, Blistex, etc.)?

    I use carmex but sometimes i can taste it in my mouth and it dont taste that good lol got any other suggestions that might work better? My lips get very chappedWhat kind of lip moisturizer do you use (Carmex, Blistex, etc.)?
    I use Burt's Bees when mine are really dry, but for everyday I just use Lip Smackers, they're convenient and have a Dr. Pepper one :]What kind of lip moisturizer do you use (Carmex, Blistex, etc.)?
    DCT (daily conditioning treatment) by Blistex. It works fast and gives relief to dry lips. Since it is a conditioner, you don't have to reapply once your lips are in better shape. You can find this at your local pharmacy, or walmart... good luck!!





    Also, dry lips is a sign that you need to drink more water. Make sure you drink 64 oz a day
    Chap stick brand works good or Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm is a natural lip balm that moisturizes the lips. Uses ingredients such as ultra-emollient lanolin, coconut oil and sunflower oil, and seals in hydration with beeswax.
    Go get the Neosporin lip treatment. My 9 year old gets really chapped lips and hates Carmex. She says this sfuff takes like Fruit Loops, and it works really really well. Its a bit pricey, but well worth it.

    Does carmex lip chap take out the natural lip softening oils?

    My sister told me that i shouldn't use carmex because it takes away from your lips the natural oil that softens your lips. And i didn't know if she was right or not. But it makes sense because carmex is pretty addictive and you have to apply it a lot.Does carmex lip chap take out the natural lip softening oils?
    I love Carmex. It is fabulous and it's the camphor you find addicting. That oh so cold sensation after you put it on.Does carmex lip chap take out the natural lip softening oils?
    yall stop playin an just use strawberry lipgloss geesh...


    lol


    i am a lipgloss addict... i will never recover.


    try ANY Loreal lipgloss.. they have the best natural an long lasting lip moisture even after it's rubbed off...
    Carmex has an acid that makes your lips drier. You can read the ingredients and see. It was developed for cold sores to dry them out quicker, people just started using it for their lips. I do not use it anymore and use chapstick or something moisturizing.
    what never heard such a thang Ive used it for years and my lips are fine
    No, Carmex will not do that to you're lips. However, if you find yourself licking off the carmex, you might also be licking off your skin's oil, resulting in even more chapped lips. If that's the case, switch to something that does not appeal to you scentwise. Vaseline will moisturize, but it will not have the menthol that makes your lips tingle (which is why I find carmex so appealing).
    Yes. Carmex is made in my hometown of Franklin, Wisconsin. Indeed it does. Camphor is a substance which dries out cold sores on and around the lip area. so, imagine how addictive and drying it is to your lips. And yes, addictive.

  • Is it bad to use Carmex lip balm?

    i just bought a tube of strawberry Carmex lip balm, and then later on the internet I read that it actually dries out your lips because of the salicylic acid (for drying out cold sores, the original purpose of Carmex)...





    Should I still use it?Is it bad to use Carmex lip balm?
    I think salicylic acid is also used as a type of exfoliator, removing a thin layer of skin (I have a palmers mosituriser with salicylic acid lol) So I think the purpose of having it in carmex lipbalm is to remove a thin top layer of skin from your lips, leaving you with the softer skin underneath, just try it out and see how it works for you, hope this helps :)Is it bad to use Carmex lip balm?
    OMG, I' am addicted to Carmex. Its not because I have chapped lips, but its just a habit. It makes my lips soft. I have been using for years now. No problem, but the thing is ..like every 10 minutes if I don't put it on I start licking my lips, then it leads to burning on my lips. But yea I don't think its bad.
    You're right... several of the ingredients will cause your lips to dry out more, making you apply the Carmex more often. I was 'addicted' to it too, for a long time.


    I switched to Avon's lip conditioner and plumper, topped with lip gloss. Now my lips feel soft and moist for a lot longer.
    I use the regular carmex and I have been for 3 years. It takes away my chapped lips and they are soft to this day. Maybe it is different for everyone...?
    i heard the same thing, so i stopped using it and i did notice a difference. my lips were not as dry and chapped. you should stop using it.
    No


    i use it and lipsn are fine

    Why do people get addicted to carmex lip balm?

    Carmex has an ingredient in it that after several uses, begins to dry your lips out. Then people think they need to put more on. It heals your dry lips for a few days. When you stop using it, your lips will get really dry, so then you resort back to the Carmex! I know, it's like a drug!Why do people get addicted to carmex lip balm?
    I never heard of anyone being addicted to that..


    I tried it and don't like the smell, to each his own I guess..Why do people get addicted to carmex lip balm?
    People get ';addicted'; to lip balms with petroleum or mineral oil bases. Carmex has a petrolatum base. The problem with petroleum, petrolatum, and mineral oil is in the way they work. They pull the moisture that is underneath the skin to the top layer making your skin feel moisturized or your lips feel soft. The product then wears off or you eat it off or you rub it off and with it you've just rubbed off your skins natural moisture supply. Your skin can't regenerate the moisture fast enough so you have to put more moisturizer, lip balm, or something back on the skin. You'll hear people say that their lips, face, legs, etc doesnt' feel soft without the product. That's the petroleum based products working. Many people become addicted to body moisturizers or face moisturizer because of it. Some infamous for this are clinique's dramatically different original formula is basically mineral oil, bath and body works lotions tend to be loaded with mineral oil and carmex style lip balms are loaded with petroleum and petrolatum. None of these things are good for your skin and will cause more problems than they solve.
    Well that's a new one! I never heard of someone getting ';hooked'; on carmex!
    I dont know i just love it like i tried others but theres nothing like it at first its all strong whateva then after awhile its cool and becomes kissable keeps my lips soft after awhile and its great to wear before you put on ur lip gloss or lip sick
    Because it actually has a drying agent in it. All of your inexpensive lip balms do. This way you have to keep buying tons of it. Mary Kay makes a lip balm that moisturizes for at least 6 hours... one tube should last you at least 6 months.
    I have been addicted to Carmex for years! If I don't have it, my lips feel soooo dry. I think it is the menthol feeling that people are addicted to.
    i wouldn't say they're addicted to it, but it's one of the best out there!
    because it's the best balm ever!!
    the brown sugar smell
    beacuse its really good for your lips but then i THINK soemone told me that it kind of makes them worse and thats why people always use it. i dunno thats just wat i was told but i use CHAPSTICK lols i love it
    it has formaldehyde in it so it helps a lot for a short period of time and then dries then out so yes it is very addicting along with and other chap stick. i suggest trying lip gloss from bath and body if you don't mind the shine it is menthol based so it works as a chap stick and stays on for hours, hope this helps!
