the little individual tins are on offer at 85p (iirc) in Wilkinsons

edit: personally i'd go for a lipbalm from Lush instead, pricier at £5+ BUT they are lovely

Blistex daily conditioner is the best that I've ever used. All of the others tend to leave clumpy bits that I end up biting off!

It comes in a little tub, I use a lip brush and mix it with a bit of lipstick for some colour.

Superdrug sell it....

IMO Vaseline is good as a protectant on your lips but doesn't really add any moisture.

If the weather is cold and wet (where it bites lips and cheeks) i apply a little bit of oil to my lips and them slick on the vaseline over the top. It locks the oil in and protects the skin. I also like using Elizabeth Arden 8hr Cream for this - especially on my cheeks.

If you need moisture; i like the blistex one and have a nice burts bees one too but like all my lip balms/salves after about a week they vanish into thin air. I quite often just apply a bit of hand cream on my lips if they feel dry when i'm out and about.

I read somewhere that you should over apply lip conditoners and balms as after a while your lips then stop poducing their own oils and you end up in a viscious circle?

I use vaseline (small handy pots) & find they do my lips more harm than good. Once you start you can;t stop as I feel they dry out more!

I really need to find something else instead x

PS I agree with the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream - brilliant - but I can't afford it!

Carmex, I love it, especially the cherry one! Apparently it helps dry out cold sores too, but I have no experience of that as I don't get them. I use Vaseline too, but more out of habit than it helping.
