I have always been a frequent user of lip balm. In fact I used it day in and day out. I was concerned that it was becoming a bad habit not to mention the amount of money I was spending on all different types of lip balms. I had a used lip balm in every purse and drawer in the house.

I did some online research and thought I would share it with you. Many of the lip balms I have been using contain fragrances and preservatives that can actually cause dryness. I found that a very interesting tidbit! Also the flavored tasted fairly good thus causing me to lick it off and then apply more often then needed.

I am now reading the labels on the lip balm packages and buying the least expensive without all the flavors and fancy packaging. This is not only saving me money but I have honestly found my lips are not as dry and I am using the lip balm much less.

Source: I love the internet and the easy access to information on unlimited subjects. This tip is my own.

The best thing to use for dryness is vasoline. The stuff is great on lips and hands and is super cheap, lasts forever

The brands I favor are Solgar, Terressentials, Bubble & Bee Organic, and Cosmic Tree Essentials. I decided on them by looking at lip balms in the Environmental Working Group list rated 0 or 1 (best of 0-10), then omitting those with iffy essential oils or other problems.

Thanks Bobbie - without lip balm I would die! I've been wondering what's in it because we all know that it gets eaten and should probably be registered as a food, right? Good research, thanks!

I have very dry lips (well, all skin actually) because I take a large amount of diruetics for a medical condition. I've found that almost any lotion works well without the heavy greasy feel of lip balm. If my lips are really dry, I put Vick's Vaporub on them and it's an almost instant cure.

I had actually read something about people who are lip balm addicts. I think there are some lip balms and lip glosses that have ingredients that actually dry your lips out so you will be forced to use more and therefore buy more of it. Does anyone know what kind is best to use. I don't use it much myself 'cept maybe in the Winter.
