A major violation of pretty girl status is to walk around with chapped, splitting, peeling lips! It’s just not hot or comfortable! I live in Michigan and the winters here are BRUTAL on your skin and especially your lips!
For some reason this winter season was extremely hard on my lips. My staple products were no longer proving to be effective. I was perplexed and thought to myself, boy this being 30 plus (only a few pluses thank you! Lol) sure does change things!
I was on a mission to find the perfect ritual and combination of products that would cure my new found cure less issue of chapped lips! Again, that’s not hot! Lol
I first increased my water consumption because obviously I needed more to hydrate my body and in turn help with this issue I was facing. I also began applying a nice portion of good old fashion Vaseline, only this brand and not any other brand of petroleum jelly, every night before going to bed! This helped tremendously but I wasn’t quite satisfied with the daily lip balm I was applying. I won’t name the product because honestly I tried a lot and none of them proved to be effective.
I was given a nice lip balm for Christmas but it costs $27 per stick and was gone within two weeks! I was happy that I had found something that worked but unhappy because I was developing an expensive habit! I challenged myself to find a cheaper alternative which yielded the same results!
Ready…. Set…. Go….
It took a few weeks but I finally found a replacement product! I was so elated I almost did a dance around the block a few times but thought that would be a little weird so just settled on a fist pump and nod! J
My absolute favorite winter time lip balm is……. Burt Bee’s Ultra Conditioning lip balm with kokum butter! When I say it works, it works! My less than attractive, uncomfortable chapped lips turned into supple heaven in no time! I know spring is here but next winter try it and thank me later! J
P.S. Nivea just came out with a new product called lip butter… check it out too, and you may like it!
I use Burt's Bees, but I haven't tried that one. Going to have to check it out!
