Chapped lips!

[0a]

FFS I've got really chapped lips, tried every lip balm going, any PH recommendations? Not a proper man problem I know.

No it's unfortunately not from kissing too many girls.

if you have chaps on your lips, it's truly a proper man problem
vaselene is best




























that didn't sound good, but it works

Blistex/Blisteze. Job done and not as embarassing as using vaseline.

I find I get cracking lips when I don't drink enough fluids the previous day!

I'm MR crappy lipstick supplement at the moment, I've tried this, and the usual alternatives.

I'm ashamed, forever destined to be trying anti-chapping lipsticks...

Nolar Dog can give you advice on anti-chapping.

But seriously, try proper branded Vaseline rather than generic petroleum jelly. And drink more fluids.

worth trying a medicated chapstick, I find normal ones are useless and can actually make my lips drier and more flaky

[dtmpower]

Is it purely dry skin?

Is there any redness or any wet cracks?

If so it might be a skin fungus or infection which will only clear up with a prescription of mediated lip salve. You might need to see the doctor.

I speak from experience as I had a split lip whilst having orthodontic treatment which would not heal up.

I find Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm from boots works well. I get chapped lips quite often and nothing seems to work, Vaseline being the worst infact!

This is the stuff Mrs Pints uses. She swears by it and refuses to use anything else.
