dry lips, anything that really works?

[keeping_my_wings]

I have always had extremely dry skin but lately nothing seems to help moisturize my lips.  I have tried everything from chapstick to neosporin to pure vitamin E oil, nothing is helping!!  Does anybody know of anything that may help?

Thanks Ladywhy, I try to keep my sense of humor even when someone tries to suppress, oppress and depress me. Waaah, waaaaaah -  but sometimes I can't hold back the tears, like just now.

and imagine, still working on starting the mission. already hit a detour...the shopping list, it delays me everytime.

[ladywhy]

lol....how aptly put!

[keeping_my_wings]

I have used aquaphor before trying to heal my hands when they were splitting open from dryness.  I probably have some somewhere in this house.  Now I have a mission, if successful I may have relief tonight.  Probability of success...very slim, will probably get sidetracked by something else within the first 5 minutes and forget what I was doing.  I'll remember its on the computer, but something else will capture my attention before I make it back to check. At least I put it on my shopping list, eventually i will complete this mission.

Looks like we both should p/u some Aquaphor!
nighty, night

Hi there,
I heard about this Aquaphor from Ladybug....well I'm gonna get it tomorrow. The hands and cuticles are what's gettin' to me...always this time of year...but more severe these dark and trying days...j/k...i'm makin' myself chuckle...
I have great imagination...and you are so skilled at visual writing... I  pictured you tonite and you got me  laughing. :) Thanks.
"til soon

I gotta find my way....to the Land of Nod

...you better do the same, young lady!

I appreciate the idea, unfortunately I've already tried softlips.  It works for me in the summer but falls short in the colder months.

Like Ladywhy, I too shop at Rite-Aid.  I found Aquaphor original ointment.  Says right on the jar it's perfect for severely chapped or dry lips and skin.  Don't remember how much it cost though.  I was still brain dead when I bought it. ; ]  

[ladywhy]

I get this stuff at Rite-Aid called Softlips...it works rather well for about $3.00

[ladywhy]

You are one funny lady!

Y'all have a great forum here! I think I'm going to be very grateful I found y'all.  Thanks for the tip on mike, it'll certainly come in helpful.  nice to meet you also and thanks for the welcome.

[Myown]

No I didn't ask mike, I just found y'all yesterday. He may be able to offer another option?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yes he knows alot about everything. I look up to him. We all do. He has a very pleasing personality too.

Welcome to the forum. Nice to meet you.

[keeping_my_wings]

Thanks for the suggestion. No I didn't ask mike, I just found y'all yesterday. He may be able to offer another option?

[keeping_my_wings]

Thanks, I actually have a friend that uses Mary Kay, so I'll have no problem getting it.

[Myown]

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. Well you can try co-co butter.

Btw, I hope you ran this question by mike. I forgot to.

[mistified]

By the way, it is pretty inexpensive. Its 18.00 and it will last a good six months.

It might be better for confidentiality reasons for you to just got he the Mary Kay website and search for a consultant in your area. I am confident that this can help you.

:)

[keeping_my_wings]

I hadn't even thought of trying Mary Kay, thanks for the help.  I am willing to try anything new at this point and Mary Kay might just work.

[mistified]

I actually do have something that will help you. It's a 2 step process, but quick and easy. The first step cleans and exfoliates the dead skin, the 2nd step moisturizes. Its called Satin Lips. I swear by it. I use it every day.  I am a Mary Kay consultant and if you would like I could give you my web site and you could order straight from there. Its not just for ladies, its also for men. Give it a try and if you dont like it, or it doesn't work, there is a 100% money back guarantee.

Just a suggestion :)
