Carmex all the way for me Beanie - I usually use the little pots, but it comes in a tube as well. Vaseline is massively over rated as far as I'm concerned.

Mr SA won't use anything but Lypsyl. He used it when he worked outside in all weathers and still uses it now. When he was in hospital it was a standing joke with the nurses as he's always losing it and wherever he went they used to ask him if he'd got his Lypsyl.
