Now during these brutal winter months my lips get really chapped…which works btr??
i have had really good experiences with carmax and burts bees wax works to thanks to sista wink wink again lol well i hope your lips get better we wouldn’t want them to get too swolen would we????? feel better enjoy you your car wax and keep burt in mind!!!!!
one’s medicated. the other is not. carmex is very good, but i think nuetregena noerwegain formula can be used on the lips as well.
ooooooh seminaryhelp did that help you at all????
I use Vaseline it really works.
ya, but carmex tastes better than Vasaline
Oh I dont lick my lips on a regular basis but you on the other hand seem to know.
i don’t b’dafka try to taste it, but eating and drinking doesn’t help
i like blistex u dont have to dip your finger in like carmex u can apply as much or as little as u like
Ok I gotcha try putting it on before you go to bed it avoids that problem…I hope!
thanx for the tip. i’ll (try to) remember to add it to my nightly routine of slathering on gold bond to my bleeding hands
carmex has a really bad gooey taste and texture so i prefer vasaline
I agree to you struzzle but some say Vaseline is too oily. Your choice.
CARMEX all the way!
yent i have to ask why are your hands bloody?
Might there be a problem with kashrus?
theGOq: cuz they are extremely chapped
Gesundite?!
Chapstix & Blistex are top two brands.
Shea Butter is good for dry skin. This is available in any Natural Food Store. Shea Butter can be applied on dry skin. Good for the hands, lips…
i vote carmax. i keep it in my pocket at all time and whip it on whenever my lips are feeling a little dry…it adds a surge of moisture its amazzzing!! thanks semhelp for posting this and BTL ANGEL 😉
There are some foods if eaten that are healing for dry skin-Carrot (good source of Vitamin A); Avocado (Vitamin E); Flax/Linseed Oil; and more.
BS”D Vaseline is more useful than Carmex. If you or any member of your family has a few screws missing, put Vaseline on the screws before installing them to make it easier for them to penetrate even the thickest heads. I have some Vaseline which is sold specifically for this purpose; it is an old tube under the hashgocho of the late unlamented Moshe Hirsch and is “noki mekol chashash timas hatzioinis”. In addition, the pharmacies in the area of Saddle River Road in Monsey report periodic shortages of Vaseline due to bulk purchases made on behalf of the imams of Masjid Itbach al-Yahud at number 104.
Seriously, half of these remedies for dry skin are far less effective than Vaseline. A rov told me not to use my usual urea hand creme during Pesach and to use Vaseline instead. It was far more effective, and I assume it would be for dry lips as well.
And yes, I do keep a tube in my toolbox. As messy as it is, it is easier to control than WD-40 or light machine oil for lubricating screws.
Just wanted to bring this post back…now, in the depth of winter, what works for you? I find that after a while, I get ‘immune’ to the classic lip balms like carmax and vaseline. Any suggestions?
Would one be allowed to apply chapstick or Carmex on Sahbbat?
I used to use carmex and found it to be very helpful for chapped lips, but recently i’ve come to realize that it’s not so tznius for girls to apply lip products in public, so lately ive chosen to just let my lips be chapped. it’s hard, but imagine the schar you’ll get for your mesiras nefesh for tznius if you give up chapped stick and vaseline.
JWAG Oy: Apply it behind your burqa.

From my post above:
“Chapstix & Blistex are top two brands.”
ilovecoff, I take it you asked your question seriously, and are not just looking to play around like some other posters.
As far as I know these products cannot be used on Shabbat. Please find yourself a real life Rav to ask this (and other) question(s). The CR is lots of fun, but while I’m not sure that it’s prohibited to use Chapstick and similar products on Shabbos, I am absolutely positive that it is prohibited to get Halachic guidance from CR posters.
