Is there anything I can use for chapped/dry lips, besides chapstick?!?

Question

WHAT CAN I USE IT, AND WHERE CAN I GET IT

Answer 1

you can use Vaseline, lotion or olive oil

Answer 2

chapstick is just grease
basically perfumed, flavored, solidified mineral oil
mineral oil is not good for you

any grease you can stand
[butter, olive oil etc]
will serve the same purpose
to seal the skin and hold in moisture

vaseline is less solidified, non-flavored non-perfumed mineral oil
it still ain't good for you

if this a normal condition for you
[chapped lips]
you probably have a b vitamin deficiency
or other medical condition
[or are a professional skier]

try taking a multivitamin

some people get addicted to chapstick
[i don't know why]
[women just use lipstick]

Answer 3

Aloe Vera is a good moisturizer, and should be available at any drugstore. It's primarily used for sunburns, but should work reasonably for chapped lips.

It probably won't taste very well, and commercially available chapped lip remedies like blistex and carmex will probably work better, but AV might be a good short-term solution.

Answer 4

Hey...Vaseline works great, its not a chapstick, it comes in a tub. If you dont wanna use it public just put a slightly thick mount on before bed and in a couple of days there will be a difference!

Answer 5

Virgin Olive Oil, I have read from the internet, has been used for skin ailiments since at least the Roman Times.
Aloe is a plant we used to grow in Hawaii for skin and stomach ailiments, like burns and things. You can get that at the drug store in many products and cremes.
Many lip balms have cocoa butter, also soothing.
If it's like a herpes thing, you might want to go to a dilutions of Oregano oil, and garlic, as they are anti-fungal. Garlic is another age-old thing to rub on sores, wounds, etc. Oregano oil is good but tastes like S****.
Otherwise, quit kissing your girlfriend on her a**.

Answer 6

Lorenzo is right drink more water, it makes sense when we are dehydrated, lips and skin get dry, it is chug eight glasses a day, the best chapstick is carmex, because it will exfolliate your lips also and get all of the dead skin off. (you can get it at any drugstore).

Answer 7

Chapstick has wax in it, wax makes lips dryer. Try vaseline. I use it all the time and it works for me. You can buy it in any store except for where I live. Lol!

Answer 8

Also, drink more water. Unless they're chapped because you spend a lot of time out in the cold, windy weather, you're probably dehydrated.

Answer 9

try carmex, or plain old vasoline. you can get them at a cheap drug store, you dont need anything fancy just keep the wind away from your lips and keep them moist.

Answer 10

petroleum jelly works... it has the same components as chapstick, minus the flavor... and it is available on pharmacies... try it! it's super effective...^^

Answer 11

vaseline, applied several times a day, and when you go to bed at night.
It's cheap, and works better than pretty much anything!
