Do you find that you can't go a day without applying chapstick, blistex, carmex or any other kind of lip balm or lip gloss?
Do you find that your lips get wicked chap when you don't use it?
What are your thoughts on this?

yea lipgloss cus it makes your lips look nicer, fuller, and beautiful
it also gives a great accent to the face if lips are shiny and glossy

I don't know the exact biology behind this sort of thing, but I think it's similar to what happens when you wash your hair too often.
When you wash your hair too often you strip the oils off the hair and the scalp, this causes damage b/c the natural oils (the ones your body makes all on its own like it's supposed to) aren't there to protect your hair.
When you use moisturizers like hand lotion and lip balm, you are moisturizing the cells of your skin and lips, and therefor telling the cells that they don't need to create the natural oils that they would normally create to moisturize. The more you use it the more often the cells are confused. Eventually the cells become dependent on your moisturizers to supply the moisture. this is similar to an addiction b/c you feel the need to add moisture, b/c your lips ARE ACTUALLY dryer than they're supposed to be.
Some places have drier air than other places and in these terrains you must go through adaptation phases where your cells learn to produce more or less depending on the state your skin is in. I personally never use moisturizer except a the beginning of winter and the beginning of summer. Then I phase my use out so that my skin can adapt. I've never had any problems with dry skin or lips.

Yes! I confess I'm addicted to lip balm. I am aways equipped with a tube, and become extremely uncomfortable on occasions when I discover I have no way to smooth and moisten my lips. I guess that crosses the line of addiction.

I love my lip gloss. I apply it every day, several times a day.
Lip gloss is the only make-up I use. I like it because my smile is my best feature. Gloss makes my lips pop!

I absolutely have to have my chapstick with me at all times. It's one of those things (such as keys, ID, phone) that I double check if I have it. I use it in between appetizers and waiting for my meal. I made a joke that I have OCD. Obsessive Chapstick Disorder. (btw I'm not trying to make fun of the real disease OCD)

yeah, I'm lip balm, my lips immediately dry out and start to hurt if I dont have any with me, it's like a psychological thing I guess.

I have full lips and they are the first thing to be exposed to sun and wind.
