Hi everyone. Can anyone please recommend a lip balm that actually improves your lip’s condition. I have tried many, and whilst they stop them feeling tight, it doesn’t last, I keep needing to reapply, and they don’t ever make my lips looks soft or smooth. I rarely spend a fortune on make up but surely there must be something out there that can improve pinched crinkly lips?

Another vote for Vaseline and also for Elizabeth Arden eight range. The great thing about lip balm is that it doesn’t have to be used with precision but the Elizabeth Arden has three tints if you do want a bit of colour.

I was recommended Avene Lip Balm for Sensitive Lips.
I have found it to be excellent. It is made from cold crème so is long lasting and moisturises very well
I got it from A….n about 7ish pounds. I find I don’t have to reapply it very often . About the same as you would lipstick

Another vote for Burts Bees, both lip balm and hand cream. Fabulous stuff.

I have very dry sore lips and the best dry lip stick is Neutrogena Lips SFP20 for dry chapped lips - Norwegian Formula. I buy 3 or 4 at a time in Boots so that I have one in each main room and my handbag.
