If I've chapped lips, anything sticky or waxy that comes in stick form is actually more harmful than good I find.
Just leaves you with greasy feeling wet lips, and only make u wanna lick/smack them, making the problem worse.
Creams like blistex are the job I find. |

Gary is right, blistex is the business.
If you want something balmier though, the nuxe reve de miel in the pot ( not the stick) is brilliant and not glossy so good for men too.
Also the Dr Lipp nipple balm (or the rebranded "miracle" balm - same stuff) is a great multi use product, great for lips, dry cuticles, heels etc and lasts forever. They have it in tkmaxx at the mo so don't pay full price  |

My LO has chronically chapped lips, so much so that she needed a stitch in one once. The only thing that works for her is Cymex. Chemist does it for about €2.80 and it clears them up a treat. A quick coat once a day prevents them getting worse. |

Get her iron checked. Along with vit B12 and folate. |

"Which do you think is the best lip balm/moisturiser? This weather has the face cut off me  "
I make my own: extravirgin coconut oil, mixed with essential rose petals oil, almond oil, a bit oh acacia honey, and aloe vera gel.
You can add a little of natural food colourant. I cannot use the ones from the shelf, so making my own over 15 years |

I have a small container so its 1 tsp of coconut oil, 1/4 tsp of almond oil and 2 drops essential oil, 1/4 of aloe vera, 1/8 of honey. Re food colourant it could be a powder or gel or just beets juice.
If you want to make a bigger amount then double it, divide by two and store in the fridge up to a month.
I normally use it within a week. |

Coconut oil is my go to for everything. Mix some with brown sugar to make a gentle lip scrub to get rid of all the dead skin. Wipe it all off and put vaseline or coconut oil on to put moisture back in. |
