9 lip balms for dry, cracked, chapped lips| Dr Dray

[@baldorigami]

Doctor Dray, I’m an adult man and caring for my skin hasn’t been part of my routine (I guess, culturally, men aren’t excepted to focus on that. I know it’s stupid!), until I accidentally stumbled into your channel. You have changed my life and I want to thank you for your videos! they’ve really helped me steer in the correct direction towards making informed decisiones about my health. I love you!

[@SusanSaysSomething]

I love how practical you are. Not everyone is buying $100 candles or $80 lipstick as "stocking stuffers".

I’ve been purchasing these small lip tubes in the Twin Pack. They are not inexpensive but just a small dab on your finger will cover your lips. I use this after brushing my teeth in the morning and before I go to bed.

[@anitabathe2]

Well hey 👋 Dr Dray, I always had the driest of lips until I took your recommendation and started using Creave Healing Ointment at night and Vanicream Lip Protectant sunscreen during the day. No more dry lips! I have the softest smoothest lips EVER! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@kayleed2497]

I would also love to know what lip balms you don’t recommend and why! Thanks for another great video

[@SamMKKK]

It took me a long while to realize that those terrible EOS lip-balms were aggravating my eczema - not just on my lips, but around. Slathering Aveeno Eczema Therapy balm and/or Vaseline on my lips to bed has been très bien.

[@catladylion5186]

Thank you for putting time stamps in the description box. I find it really helps. I love good moisturising lip balms :)) I love using Vaseline on my lips and paper cuts. And it’s fragrance free

[@christopherroloff3453]

Revisiting this video 1.5 years later. You are always a wealth of knowledge, Dr. Dray!

[@saralamusquintero5703]

The Cicaplast lip balm from Roche Posay is really good as well! Only thing that worked for me while I was on accutane!

[@AlyssaDyck]

This and paulas choice lip balm are the absolute best!

[@rosej9686]

I heard about Lansinoh nipple cream as a lip balm from a couple of KZbinrs and it has become my favorite!

[@RadiantPineappleSkincare]

You can never go wrong with Vaseline. I put it on every night before bed time.

[@zariaackermann3147]

I love my aquaphor healing ointment from my dermatologist, but the thing that never fails to keep my lips moist overnight is the Vaseline rosy lips. Idk why but that one works better than all the other Vaseline ones I've tried.

[@carnystrickland7367]

Thank you so much, dry lips are the bane of my existence. Tried everything except these.

[@ColletteC2106]

Dr. Bronner's Naked Organic Lip Balm is absolutely fantastic. My lips were always dry before I started using it. Now, never! It stays on all night, and I'm not a back sleeper. I get it at Target or Whole Foods. :)

[@myozbubble]

I purchased the Avene Cicalfate lip cream. I got it off Amazon. This is a product that I never had heard of before so I was curious to try it out. I must say that it is awesome!!! Not sticky, not smelly and stays on my lips without traveling onto my face. My lips are dry all year-round but it's terrible during the winter. Avene lip cream has made my lips so soft and I'm glad I spent the money on it.

[@doeeyes2]

My favourite is Avene Cold Cream lip balm. But during the day I use Paulas Choice SPF 50.

[@JaxBachtle]

I have lip-balms in my desk at my office, my desk at home, my purse, my car, and in each bathroom of my house. When one goes missing, (usually because my husband steals it), it ruins the whole balance of things. LOL! Thanks for the list...I love trying out products you recommend!

[@camillekrist6556]

Nothing has given me dry lips like wearing a mask, off to target to purchase a couple of these. Thanks Dr .Dray

[@SteffLowe]

You got me hooked on Cerave healing ointment. I have one in every bag and all over the house

[@184rama]

I randomly found a Norwegian neutrogena lip balm with spf 15 at cvs. Best one I have ever used.

[@sevensevenalways7995]

I find it crazy that with what we know today about sun damage so few lip balms in the stores actually contain spf

[@FarduwsatheNP]

One reason I hate winter is dry lips and it seems I can never get they right lip moisturizing 😭. But I will be trying some of your recommendations! Just want say you are amazing Dr.Dray and thanks for sharing the good stuff ❤️❤️

[@cheesycheez]

I got the Sun Bum recently, I love it! It does have the slight white cast but not too bad, maybe a shade or two lighter than my lips. Feels good and hydrating too, no weird taste / smells 😄

[@nathanielheenandez5239]

I really wish she was my aunt or something she would give the best skincare,lip, or body care gifts for christmas or birthdays

[@michelecarlsonbsnrn8054]

Thank you so much for recommending the Sun Bum high performance, Dr. Dray!! I did not care for their regular lip balms (too drying IMO), but I just tried this one and it's 1000 times better. Super soft lips with sunscreen! Thank You!

[@CApoppyquilter]

The only ones I could find at the pharmacy were scented/flavored. Now I know I can get it fragrance free. Thanks!

[@Charliegirlie]

Love this! I also use the Jack Black intense lip therapy spf 25 (the Shea butter one) and the Neutrogena revitalizing and moisturizing tinted lip balm spf 20.

[@CApoppyquilter]

I do as well. Although, it does have lanolin in it. So far, it hasn't been a problem.

[@doeeyes2]

I use the Paulas Choice SPF 50 but Ive heard good things about the Jack Black one.

[@christinenguyen1398]

@Dr Dray A dental hygenist noticed my son was a "lip licker" and had a constant chapped mouth. She recommended A+D Diaper ointment (or any similar generic brand--I use Target's Up&Up) and it really was a game changer. I even started using it myself. A huge tube costs less than $3 and lasts a long time. Now that I have chapped hands from frequent hand washing, I use it on my hands, too.

[@sevenlust]

Yep! A&HD is over 50% petrolatum ^^

[@purpleluvdancer]

The Clinique moisture surge lip is my favorite! I’ve tried different petrolatum based lip balms, and to me, this one has the nicest texture.

[@stephanied6711]

[@iamsusiecarmichael6650]

I dampen my lips with water and apply on top at night. Game changers ladies

[@user-ge9cw7ti2g]

I'm thankful for these videos, because even though petroleum jelly seems like the obvious solution, I simply can't use it without risking getting a breakout if it transfers anywhere outside my lip area.

[@cats.addict6457]

Dr Dray, I regret you did not mention those who are, or not, sticky. That's often the problem with those kind of lipstick and many I stopped using when my lips are/feel sticky... but tks for the video

[@lisah1507]

From one of your prior recommendations, I use the mini Vaseline jars every day all day on my lips. The best! When I wake up, my lips are still soft and moist. 😎 I’m 54 and need the moisture. 😉 thank you 🙏

I’m a lip balm junkie, but I think I’ve been using all the wrong ones😂😂 I was an RN in Labor and Delivery for almost 20 years before I was diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome and became unable to work, and I think I carried 3 lip balms in my scrub jacket at all times. With Sjogrens I have dry mouth witch leads to dry lips, plus I’m always drinking water so I need something really hydrating and long lasting. Since finding your vids, you have helped my diabetic/Sjogrens skin SO much!! I thank you! I love you skin too, looks so smooth like a china doll❤ do you have a video of your skin care routine?

It's worth mentionting that Petrolatum is not a good option for acne prone skin. I used vaseline lip therapy and ended up with acne all around my lips. I went back to my labello stick. It's has less watery feel, which what i liked about vaseline lip care, but at least it won't ruin my face.

Thanks for sharing Dr Dray! I've been on the look out for tinted lip balm. I've been so sad because in one of your old videos you said to avoid products with yellow, red, and blue dye. Can you please review Em Cosmetics' Lip Cushion (it has vitamim e and hyaluronic acid), Daydream Cushion (serum infused cushion blush with spf 50++++, niacinamide and micronutrient complex), and their Color Drop Serum Blush (has hyaluronic acid, feels like skincare but looks like makeup). The line is vegan, cruelty free, and some are gluten free. I'm tempted to try these products because I miss wearing makeup but don't want to irritate my skin because I have liittle sprouts of rosacea, broken capillaries on my cheeks.
