Anyone know a really good lip balm to help moisturise and stay on?

    I used to have pretty dry lips and tried Innoxa`s Ultra Moist Plumping Lip Creme. It totally saved my lips and it great to wear under lipstick as it absorbs quickly and helps your lipstick stay put. Just make sure you massage it in well and don`t apply too much as it is a creme and may leave a white residue!

    Just exfoliating with a toothbrush works best, my favourite overnight balms that I normally alternate are Dermalogica Lip Complex, A`kin (I have two different ones the blue and maroon) and MooGoo edible lip balm (not too tasty though, lol)

    Try exfoliating your lips before applying a nice thick lip balm overnight. This way, your lips stay smooth for the entire day so you won`t need to keep re-applying lip balm.
    But I love something simple like Blistex because it doesn`t rub off easily.

    I think the pots are better for at home if you use it heaps, but the tube is ideal for on the go, I like having a tube to cart around 🙂

    Hi darl, the one that I am aware of is an Australian one called Simmons, it is available in both the tube and the tub like the lucas one, Contains NO PETROLEUM JELLY unlike other paw paw ointments Made with 51mg/gram of fresh paw paw and the rest is made from vegetable waxes and oils. More papaw per volume than other leading brands. Ingredients: fermented fresh paw paw fruit, Rhus succedanea wax, glycerine, canola oil, hydrogenated castor oil, beeswax, corn starch. It is also only about $4.95 for the small tube and $7.95 for the tub. Here is a link for you 🙂

    melmeko what brand is the all natural one? is it the one with honey or something?

    You can get an all natural paw paw ointment which has no nasties in it, I never realized that the lucas one was not the best until becoming a member of BH 😉 So many valuable tips that have taught me so much over the years 🙂

    I would have to say the nivea, i love all their balms, that come in the wind up containers.they are inexpensive and last a few while. I am extremely prone to dry lips and i find this works well, no yukky taste and u dont have to stick your finger in the pot like blistex and carmex. Nivea was a clear choice for me because After seeing a news clip on the amount of bacteria that sits in those pots everytime you stick your fingers in it and transferring it from the product to your lips i couldnt use my blistex anymore without thinking about that news clip….. YUK!

    did anyone else see it… You would be suprised with the amount of feral bacteria lurking in your make up. No matter how good your personal hygeine is your always at risk.
