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'm trying these new discs that are for cold sores but i cant tell if they're working yetShell Necklace New Design

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?

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?
