Protecting Your Lips

One of the things that happens to everyone during the Fall and Winter is the awful chapped lips catastrophe. Some people think that if they chew the skin off of their lips and it goes really smooth that they are helping their lips. DO NOT DO THAT. When you peal the skin off of your lips, you are exposing the weaker skin to the sun and that causes more damage to your lips than the actual chapped skin itself.

Many brands of lip balm will say that they protect your lips, some that I have tried do, others don't. One of the products that I use every day, even in the Spring and Summer is the

Bliss Fabulips - I got my first thing of it this time last year and I have used it every day since I got it. It is a key in my everyday make up routine and I keep one in my purse. I love the smell and the way that it makes my lips feel really soft.

On those days that my lips are feeling really bad I use a normal Chapstick in the original formula because they work better than the ones that have the flavors or scents - at least from Chapstick. I also use a lip salve from Lush or Burt's Bee's. I however do not like the Burt's Bee's everyday lip balm. I find that it doesn't work as well as some of the others.

I haven't tried the EOS lip balm but I hear great things about it. I will probably pick one up next time I see one and try it and let you guys know how it compares to my Fablulips.
