Read this and this.

Let me just say now, I love Chapstick. My family is a loyal Chapstick family. It was the first thing my dad ever bought in the US. He got a black Chapstick in the Anchorage airport on a layover during their immigration flight to the US. Daddy uses nothing else on his lips. To this day, I can’t kiss a guy who wears it because he smells like my pop.

My personal favorite Chapstick is the blue one with SPF 15. I like to keep the UV from damaging my lips.

Keep reading the Consumerist and you’ll see their readers are devotees of Burt’s Bees. My mom loves Burt’s. She started using it this past year, mostly the hand lotion because it smells good. I’ve used the lip balm before, but I could only ever find it in the tin. I keep my nails kind of long so I hated gouging the surface of it.

Lately, I’ve got a pot of Aquaphor I bought for a burn on my leg (dismounting a Ducati, another story) and I’ve been using that up. I apply it to my lips after a shower, every time I wash my hands at home, etc. It’s a huge tub. (and that’s the newer small tub!) It’s basically Vaseline with some good stuff in it for fast skin healing. No tingles, just keeps the lips protected during the dry winter months. I’m not addicted since I don’t use it in the summertime.
