What can I do about my dry lips?

I use Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm and cover my mouth with a scarf (or mask) when out in cold or windy weather. Dry lips can be a sign of dehydration so drink more water too.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream or their Lip Balm. Don’t lick your lips and make sure you are drinking enough fluids.

Another Burt’s Bees fan here.

Plain old vaseline does it for me.

I use lip salve with Aloe Vera, it comes in different flavours and colour tints, also Burts Bees is excellent too, apply as often as you like especially in cold or windy weather although I need to use it all year round.

I agree. Burt’s Bees overnight intensive lip balm - about £6 - to get them softened,
then maintain with Burt’s Bees orange blossom & pistachio lip butter - about £5.
(The butter tastes delicious, you’ll be tempted to lick it, but resist)

I like Blistex although I am not sure if you can get that in the UK. Their Lip Medex is very good.

Rosy Vaseline for a bit of colour as a bonus!

Lanolips - basically pure lanolin. Works for me. Costs-a-load but lasts for years.

Are you drinking enough water, if not this might be why your lips are dry. You have to hydrate from the inside first, creams only provide temporary relief.

You get addicted and dependant on it too.
I definitely am, and have been for thirty years!
I must apply lip balm or vaseline about twice an hour.
I have them every where in the house and in my pocket.
If I accidentally go out without one I have to nip in a shop and buy one.
I think that the Nivea ones are my favourite.

I find that blistex stings.

Simple lip salve 4 or 5 times a day would be my advice

I use lime and honey with sugar.... Is that okay enough?

I’d say drink lots of water to keep hydrated and if that doesn’t do the job a Vaseline lip salve.

FannyCornforth- was just going to write this. Same here. It is a known medical issue- and very difficult to get rid of.

I am trying to only use natural beeswax ones or vaseline- as so many have lots of chemicals in them.

If it was for me, I'd avoid lanolin as my lips react badly to anything containing it. I was going to suggest manuka honey, but that would probably be unacceptably sticky. However, manuka honey lip balm is lovely - I got some in NZ years ago and I have found that it is available on Amazon.

I have the same problem, I use a Nivea lip salve.
I've heard that it's a side effect of some blood pressure tablets.

I use Carmex medicated lip balm. Keeps your lips very kissable. ?
Much better than non medicated lip balms.

I'm with GrannyGravy. EA's 24 hour balm is wonderful. Can be used on eczema, sunburn, sore spots et al..

Coconut oil might be the way to go...natural and tasty!

Have you tried checking your hydration? If not fill a litre bottle of water and sip it throughout the day so that by 5 or6 o'clocknin the evening it is all gone. Dry lips for me is a dign I am not drinking enough water. Tea& coffee with be drying.

Pure Aloe Vera is the best thong - available from Forever Loving products, based in Warwick in the UK,

I find Blistex (in a little blue pot) works when my lips are cracked.
Also Lanolips, but don’t buy Lanolips, go to the mother and baby aisle and look for Lansinoh nipple balm. Same stuff, bigger tube, lasts ages.
For maintenance, I like Actuve Silver lip balm, and also one called eos in a turquoise egg shaped applicator.
Whichever you use, they key is to use them regularly.
