WHY MOST LIP BALMS ARE BAD FOR YOUR LIPS - Nadine Baggott

[@Siireny]

I cannot thank you enough for this video. My lips had been extremely hurtful and chapped for years and nothing worked. BUT La Roche Posay Cicaplast Lip is the first thing that is helping. I only got it this morning after I watched your video last night and I can already tell a difference. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@NadineBaggott]

Anne Michel this is so good to hear x

[@Rose-bl9df]

Great i need to buy this

[@michellerjackson5776]

Anne Michel~ Hello⚘ Have you been staying with La Ros Posey still? Thank you dear

[@newlearnfromyoutube2285]

Hi anne, pls can you help me where can i get it, and could tell me the brand of this type , and how is your lip right now cos it is almost passed two years, sorry for that because am suffering by this lip disease,

[@margosimpson5698]

Finally. this drives me insane and I hope companies STOP PUTTING FRAGRANCE in cosmetics and skincare asap!! Being allergic to fragrance is no joke.

[@epifanny]

Exactly. I went to 4 stores today and didn't find a single fragrance free shampoo...

[@margosimpson5698]

epifanny yes shampoos are few and far between. Dermalex in UK and Free & Clear in US are two possibles x

[@starkiller6740]

Margo Simpson fragrance don’t irritate everybody

[@KatieMarie]

I never thought of putting my moisturizers and serums on my lips as well as my face! *lightbulb moment* thank you for that! I'm going to start doing this!!!

[@jacquelinetrejo5257]

Yeah my lips are chapped i also had red lips now a real circle is around my lips

[@carladimmock3210]

This video was a light bulb moment.. Never gave the ingredients in lip balms / sticks a second thought, skin care I'm absolutely on it, but not the stuff I stick on my lips, why not as it makes complete sense now... just to add, I love how passionate you are about the subject x

[@olisal8566]

I’ve actually started using my Natural Moisturising Factor on my lips and its actually working!! I suffer from really bad chronic dryness on my lips no matter how much water I drink but this has actually worked!

[@AthenaFotiadis]

I'm going to try this. Thanks for mentioning it!

[@jj-fn8hl]

U mean fasewash?

[@dianamccarthy2377]

This is such an important message about scent and the damage to lips and the skin around them. I wish I would have known in my teens, my skin has a super strong reaction and I have to special order my toothpaste because of the chronic dry and irritated skin on my lips and around my mouth that I used to get. Now time to look for that cicalip repair.

[@gabrielalvinvaughan]

I recently threw away all my lip-balms because of the irritating ingredients. I've been using classic Vaseline lip repair until I found a good balm. Thanks for the recommendations ❤X

[@twiggylove5523]

LA Roche Posay Cicaplast Lip is an excellent product. Never failed to sort my very chapped, prone to cold sores lips out. It's very close to a medical balm!

[@Aussiegirl1972]

twiggy love When I tell my friends that mint, peppermint, lemon, etc.. is bad for the skin and the lips and hair too they look at me with disbelief. During the daytime I always put on a lip balm that has an spf of 30 plus underneath my lipstick or lipgloss to protect my lips from the sun. Our lips tend to get thinner/finer with age but the sun has a lot to do with it to so I always make sure my lip balms contain an spf of 30 plus during the daytime.

[@twiggylove5523]

Fernanda Goncalves well thank you for the tip! I'll bear the spf in mind

[@mhikl4484]

All nonsense.Want soft healthy lips in "one word"? Zinc. It's a mineral substance. Take daily.

[@mhikl4484]

or wast you money on silly things that do not heal.

[@twiggylove5523]

I use Zinc and Lysine for cold sores. Sometimes you need to use a topical solution too, treat things inside and outside specially when you've sensitive skin. At the end of the day it's down to each individual to decide what they spend their money on.

[@valerieanderson109]

I know this is not a new video, but I just discovered your channel after I heard you mentioned by another KZbinr. This video is brilliant! I have been addicted to lip Balm for close to 3 decades. 3 days ago, I put the lip balm down and began treating my lips with my face serums and moisturizers. I've not missed lip balm at all. My lips are in the best shape they've been in for ages. Thank you for your excellent content!

[@LisaMarie_Porter]

What serums and moisturizers do you use? I am having the same problem. Have been since I was 11/12 years old.

[@giulitorelli]

Camphor is an ingredient that people think is healing but is super drying!

[@NymphetaminexXxGrrrl]

I wouldn't put it anywhere near the lips or mouth (or broken skin) but camphor does have its medicinal qualities in topical application for pain (any heating or cooling, counter irritants) and as an inhalant (vicks vapo rub) It's amazing how many essential oils (which most people don't take seriously) are used in mainstream products, and the very people that scoff at essential oils are unknowingly using them, and reaping their benefits.

[@dalmatinka9084]

Tiger Balm!!!! For a good massage!

[@xmissmarzx]

Couldn’t agree more I was getting super irritated and chapped lips after using the mint EOS lip balm. Mint on the lips is a no no.

[@machi1uk]

SOOOOO glad to see someone talking about this! This has been driving me crazy for years and yet the same formulas just keep on rolling out. Thanks Nadine!!

[@dianesanford1290]

I am addicted to watching your channel. I have learned soooo much. Plus, I love how you present the information and your direct yet fun personality. I can’t thank you enough for the information on chapped and dry lips. This has plagued me for decade. I couldn’t find the La Roche-Posay products in the states but luckily was able to order from a website in Portugal. Within the first day of trying the Cicaplast lips, I noticed an incredible difference. I cannot even believe this. Keep your videos and all your knowledge coming. I cannot thank you enough!!!

[@YogaMegs]

I use the cicaplast balm ever morning/evening as part of my skincare routine. I’ve not experienced chapped lips all winter and my lip liner/lipstick sits on top beautifully xx

[@kensimzadi]

Megs Mode are you in the US? If so, where do you get it?

[@YogaMegs]

kensimzadi no sorry I’m from the UK

[@MissPlease88]

I F***ing knew it!!! I’ve been using Aquaphor on my lips for four years now and tried to convince my husband that his lip balms are addicting... gonna show this to him and get him convinced ! 😃👄

[@francescaj3758]

MissPlease b7

[@namegame0]

Thank you so much for doing this Nadine. I’ve been addicted (not an exaggeration) to lip balm for 20 years now! I would apply it millions of times a day and my lips would still get chapped. Bought this on your recommendation in the hope that one day I’ll only need to use it once or twice a day and honestly, so far, it’s absolutely amazing. Thank you x

[@grettabewitched5409]

I have suffered dermatilomania all my life, I am an obsessive skin picker (OSP) and i constantly rip the skin off my lips day in day out because I hate the way they feel, the more i rip them the more skin scaring i get which only makes things worse. I came across this wonderful video quite by accident, and I am so glad I did, no lip balm I have ever used has helped. You have given me hope and can't thank you enough for that.

[@katiehaugen8159]

Thank you for doing this video! I have been wondering why my lips feel worse after using my favorite Burt’s Bees lip balm. Now I know! I’ll be running out to try to find that La Roche one! 🏃🏼‍♀️

[@nadiaahmed6407]

Katie Haugen crap. I've literally read so many good reviews on burts bees and I've ordered a pack of like 3. Well what a waste of money..

[@leyamoore6188]

I used to have lips that were so bad they would crack and bleed when I'd smile. I've had lips like this since I was a kid and have run the gamut of mentholated and minty products ever since. Lipstick would completely dry out my lips, and so I've never worn any as it was never worth the week or so of intense discomfort after. When I discovered your channel back in November, I ordered HA and Buffet from The Ordinary and patted them on my lips along with the rest of my face. I stopped using the balms because my lips felt better immediately. Within days, my lips healed, and they have been so healthy ever since. Even through a dire Canadian winter! Thank you so much for providing such high quality information - it's so nice to smile without looking like a horror film. I can even wear lipstick!

[@bellaboopixi]

Came across this video on the random and shared it on a large makeup group im a part of on Facebook because I found it so lovely! You’re a breath of fresh air and I found this video really informative 💜

[@ms.h3853]

I enthusiastically second Aquaphor. Saved my life after a stint on Accutane.

[@marydourios8583]

Hi Nadine, I get little dry patches on my lips that can hang around for months and months ... so annoying! As you say in your video, most lip balms feel nice but don’t actually make the dry patches go away. I tried the La Roche lip balm and within a couple of days my lips are back to normal, and more than a week after I’ve stopped using it my lips are still free of dry patches! Thanks for the recommendation! PS. I really look forward to your videos they’re informative and helpful.

[@michellebettell]

So helpful. I suffer with dry lips and always use lip balm. Had no idea how bad they are. Time to upgrade now. Thanku Nadine xx

[@Mel-pb5xw]

Michelle Ghillyer it will make SUCH a difference for you!

[@briannab4770]

Did you do it? If so, how are the results for you?

[@thaliaquintero8138]

Wait so is all lip balm bad? I thought u used it to like protection ur lips from like dry air and cold air and so they stay moist and healthy

[@mohayes1402]

I have for YEARS struggled with dry lips and I love a bright matte lip. Started using the La Roche Posay lip balm a few weeks ago since seeing the Instagram post and this genuinely is the BEST lip balm! Thanks Nadine!!!xx

[@stephaniec.4384]

I'm sure La roche posay lip balm is great for most people, but I must say, there are exceptions. I’ve tested it alone multiple times and every single time it makes my lips cracked, flaky and painful. Obviously there is an allergic reaction. I’ve tested many many lip balms and compared the ingredients. From that I’ve discovered petrolatum is my best friend, and most “natural” ingredients irritate my lips such as lanolin and beeswax, surprisingly, and of course fragrant essential oils (vanillin, limonene, peppermint etc). Eucerin aquaphor works for me. It seals my lips and does no harm. As for lipsticks, I've also tried many, from the department store brands to the "eco-friendly" sector, and the only one so far that will do no harm is Burberry Kisses lipstick 💄

[@karenbirbeck4630]

LRP made my lips sting too

[@Surfnyolly]

Me too! I’m so so allergic to lanolin on my lips. It was horrible!

[@luizenavarro3381]

it does not work for me either, but i had no ideia why and it might as well be an alergic reaction!

[@mrchips9852]

I’ve been buying Clinique super balm for years and can never understand why more people don’t mention it! There’s the original or ones with a tint and both are fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@danasmith51]

OMG! You just changed my life and I’m not kidding!! I’ve been using lip balms for 50 years and wondering why they never work! I completed my morning routine yesterday to include my lips. . . I also used Aquaphor. Most of the day without reapplying anything. . .I ordered the LaRoche Posey product to which you referred... I’ve been catching myself trying to moisten my lips with my tongue and stopping.. . . I have wasted so much money on lip balm over 50 years, it’s amazing, not to mention how many gallons of the stuff I’ve ingested. Oh brother . Cannot thank you enough!! Annie Smith

[@cristinamagurean]

I use Cicaplast every evening, I absolutely adore it....I can't remember who told me about it a few years ago but it works magic for my lips!!!! Love your videos Nadine! Big hug from Transilvania!

[@woodencreatures]

I love your channel! I'm 55 and nobody has ever told me this. My lips have always been dry and cracked even though I go through lip balms at a frightening rate. I will get the la Roche Posay when it comes back in stock at Boots. Thank you :)

[@charlottecliff-atkins3581]

Nadine, you have saved my lips 💋 I started Invisalign 48 hours ago and were lips are so dry as a result I could have cried and Eos and Vaseline were making them worse. I bought the La Roche this morning and my lips have never felt so good. Thank you so much xx

[@juliebee8899]

This was a much needed informative video. I have naturally full lips but I'm now in my 40's and dealing with lines that are plaguing me. No one is talking about this subject so THANK You Miss Nadine! You're an absolute sweet❤️! 😚

[@juliebee8899]

I am already hooked on the Cicaplast cream for all over my face when I have a acne breakout. It does wonders☺️

[@carabeag32]

Hi Nadine, I just got found your video on lip balms I’m delighted to say, I use Cicaplast! If my lips are very dry, I use it under my lipstick& it looks & feels great. I just love my lippy & I think it’s the reason my lips are sooo dry ? Also suffice to say,age is a factor.... I’m now 70. 🤗 Thank you for your great advice on all things skincare & makeup! Just love your expert no nonsense approach,!! Mary.

[@jennyhuang7250]

Hurraw is really awesome if you want a raw, vegan, and organic option. Otherwise would definitely recommend the LRP Cicaplast Levres. I use both. Caveat: If you're reacting badly to it, you're reacting badly to it. Everyone's skin is different so best to try something else. I would also recommend trying a SLS free toothpaste (and shampoo/conditioner), as personally, I found that my lips stopped being so dry and constantly flaking when I did (I switched back to a toothpaste that had SLS when I ran out, and it was fine for awhile, however, after awhile, the flakiness came back. Ended up switching back to SLS free. For reference, the brand is Sensodyne.)

[@angelpye9127]

Thank you for the La Roche suggestion. I purchased it and saw an immediate improvement in my lips. I even used it on my face. Great product definitely buying another tube. Thankyou again.

[@rebeccaalicebyrne1516]

Ive found Baume de rose to be the best, but im willing to give cicaplast a try because the by terry is so expensive!

[@traceymorgan211]

Absolutely brilliant video Suffered for months with dry lips constantly applying lip balms and now I know why it’s never worked. Thank u sooooo much x

[@cloud_lost_in_thought]

Eucerin's Aquaphor Lips is the absolute best thing I've ever tried in my life! And that while I was visiting my relatives in Salt Lake City....which is basically in the desert and the air was horribly dry...I simply cannot find it in my country at all :(

[@abbeynguyen5465]

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Lip is truly the best thing ever! Already gone through 2 tubes of this and just picked up 4 at my local chemist today. cannot thank you enough!

[@kathegerrard6841]

What about Bite Beauty Agave mask or balm. I love it!

[@apricotcurls1330]

Liked before watching! About time someone addresses this properly!

[@jaynegosling5570]

I have used so many different brands of lip balm and always had problems. Thank you for making this video. I will definitely be trying your recommendations. Xx

[@triciahon8043]

I was having horrible lip allergies...cracking, red lips. It was awful...i eliminated many toothpastes and food additives yet sometimes it came back. I finally realized it was the eos lip balm. Threw all away. Only thing i use now are aquaphor and laneige lip mask at night. Bite agave lip balm is very soothing too. Great vid!

[@Dharxxx]

I have chronically chapped / dry lips (and dry skin in general) and knew fine well that most of the lip balms on the market are no good for me and have tried hundreds of different types in the past in the hope that one would work! Thank you for making this exactly what I needed to know

[@shadele17]

Raw shea butter.

[@jenm4642]

Wow, this makes so much sense!! I recently purchased the EOS lip balm in mint. I love the way it feels,smells and feel like putting it on all the time. My lips are actually chapped from it bc I never get chapped lips. I've since discontinued bc I know when I'm irritated from a product. Your explanation makes so much sense! It's like the companies know this and consumers don't realize it. I will be referring everyone I know who always needs some form of something on their lips to watch this video. Really good information! Thanks so much!

[@jacquelinemcintosh9096]

I’ve just bought the cicaplast lip balm and it’s amazing. I’d been stuck in the cycle you’ve been talking about of constantly applying lip balms but one week later, what a difference! Thank you, so glad I found your video. I bought the cicaplast repairing hand cream too, just to try it and it’s brilliant too, my hands are so much softer and smoother I’m really impressed with it!

[@remnant1018]

Mine has oleyl alcohol and camphor 😑😒 Thank you SO😧 much for posting this. I’ve thought about the alcohol in my skin products numerous times over the years but never thought about mint extracts. It all makes sense now.

[@jeniiishuuu]

I have suffered from dry chapped flaky lips since childhood, nothing works, I will definitely be buying the la Roche posay as soon as I can! Thank you!

[@_Stav_]

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like pure lanolin. Once you use that you can never go back to “lip balms”.

[@Heather_isms]

Thanks for sharing this. The Fresh lip balm has SPF in it, it burned my lips. Aquaphor healed them. Appreciate you stating what ingredients are irritants.

[@carinaoliveira5850]

Mind blown. Seriously?! I’ve never heard this before but THANK YOU

[@diannemaloney5501]

Thanks for making a video on this topic Nadine. You are absolutely right - the lip balm I am using is making my lips dry and cracked. I put a hand cream on them this morning and it is a totally different story. I have been using the Gold Bond hand cream and will try their lip balms too. I'm sure my lips will look fuller, smoother and less lined when I am wearing lip products too. thanks again.

[@cindytroxler2838]

Wow, I was addicted to lip balm that are non minty I didn’t know it was a thing. I rarely use it anymore though. This was a very informative video thanks

[@jennw6809]

I agree with you completely and I would agree that not only are most lip balms contain irritants, but most skin products in general are formulated with terrible ingredients. And then people get in a cycle of trying new products because their skin is upset. I also agree that petrolatum is 100% fine for the skin and is one of the least irritating products available!

[@EviePamela]

This is me!! I have used a lip balm religiously for as long as I can remember and I cannot leave the house without one. It has almost become a habit to use it rather than a need. I have just picked up the La Roche-Posay so fingers crossed this can help 🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@EileenR11]

I suffer from mild excema and have needed lip balms since my teens. Until recently I was unable to wear lipstick because it irritated my lips so much but the new moisturising formulas like Mac Creemsheen now allow me to wear some lip colour. After a lot of experimentation with balms I found the Body Shop Vitamin E lip balm best at giving long-lasting protection. It's quite waxy but then I need that. I apply morning and night and reapply during the day after hot drinks and it has kept my lips largely trouble-free for more than a decade. I will try Cicaplast to see if that allows me to go longer without reapplication.

[@Mel-pb5xw]

Eileen Rafferty I HIGHLY recommend checking out Paula’s Choice Lip & Body Treatment Balm. It’s is incredibly long lasting & overall just fabulous! I believe it’s $15 for a 15g/ .5oz pot but I’ve never paid full price for it as they have promotions/ discounts so regularly. That said I wouldn’t hesitate to do so as it’s well worth it & a little bit goes a long way.

[@vickityson5259]

In my work I have recommended the cicaplast lip balm to many and will continue to do so because of the amazing feedback many customers give. However, if like me, it didn't work for you, try a little pure shea butter. Just warm and soften a tiny crumb of it between your fingers and rub it on. Also great for elbows, knees etc.

[@job8445]

Hi! I just boughtThis balm at Walgreens in the USA it's called Cicaplast Baume B5. It says Baume Reparteur Apaisant, Soothing Repairing Balm. Good for faces, lips, all areas except eyes, good for babies too. So far so good, thanks for the tip!

[@nargali1769]

I think you've actually solved a problem I've had my whole life.thank you! x

[@shariwelch8760]

I never use lip balms with warming or cooling ingresients like peppermint, but I still have a problem with dry and peeling lips. I use a lip exfoliation balm and several regular lip balms, including Baby Lips. But they aren't working. I found the La Roche Posay lip balm on amazon, and I was happy to see how affordable it is. I put it in my cart, so I'll have it next payday. Thanks so much for the advice, I can't wait to try it. I'm also going to start using my serum and moisturizer on my lips as you've suggested. I have a feeling that will make a difference too. :)

[@fatenmadanat1060]

Too bad La Roche Posay lip balm in the US does not contain the same ingredients as the one in Europe :( I was about to purchase it after watching your video and noticed the ingredients were different ! ughhh But I'll be throwing out my other lip balms because most of them contain mint..oops

[@brandybrandenburg9525]

Faten Madanat I found it on amazon

[@daniellemorgan-jackson4114]

Thank you for this video. My son has the driest, chapped lips ever. I'm going to follow some of these recommendations to see if it helps.

[@Niamh300]

The Sensai Lip Treatment is amazing! But also ridiculously expensive. Thanks, Mary Greenwell, though, for spreading the word about this product.

[@Rowina18]

I so feel your #baggotrant Nadine! I absolutely agree! I actually have the Cicaplast cream for face and body, I tried it on my lips several times and it did wonders! The only backdrop is, it quite slippy and doesn’t stay on the lips if I put it on before bed. I’ll check out the Cicaplast lips for sure! Thanks for yet another amazingly informative video!

[@sarastewart4379]

Talk about timing. Yesterday without thinking I applied glycolic acid to my lips. Last night I watched this video and today when I woke up with dry lips I googled to see if la Roche Posey is available here in NZ. Well turns out my local pharmacy began stocking this brand just two days ago. So I picked some up today. Thanks so much Nadine. .

[@TheKayRaven]

THANK YOU! I have never seen\heard such an honest (and truthful) opinion on lip balms. I absolutely agree with the LRP and Clinique suggestions. Also, not a very well-known trick that helps with very bad conditions, using Bepathen (salve) nightly. Actually marketed as a baby cream, it is healing and repairing for skin. Not a sexy idea to put something like that on your lips but it most definitely works miracles. Not a good idea to ingest it, so nightly use is preferred. The company has a separate lip product but I do not find is as effective.

[@eleanorbyrne8805]

Thankfully don't suffer much with dry lips but like you I put all my anti aging serums and creams on my lips too. I use an olive oil lip balm that I purchased on holidays last year (no spf) which is lovely. I do protect my lips with a high SPF stick in v cold or hot weather to prevent cold sores and that works for me. Nothing worse than chapped, peeling lips or cold sores but prevention is better than cure and I have learned the hard way.

[@MsLoverofthearts]

Nadine, thank you! I really appreciate the work you put in to giving your subscribers/viewers such valuable skincare and product information. I use the Nivea lip butters which I enjoy but it never quite relieves the problem for any length of time, probably due to long-lasting lipsticks etc which are drying. I have just ordered the Cicaplast Lip Repair directly from the LRP website. Today (10/3/18) they are offering a discount so the full price including free delivery is £4.88 in the UK. I thought you and your viewers might like to know. Fyi, I use the Cicplast Repair Balm on my face if my skin is being reactive to Retinoids/Retinols and find it superb for plumping and rebalancing. xx

[@hillary898]

I bought this lip balm today after seeing Lily reference your recommendation. I’ve got cracked lips right now because of a head cold and I can already feel an improvement!!!

[@tinafern967]

Just started LRP lip balm as an overnight treatment a couple of days ago - and I absolutely agree: the best lip balm I‘ve ever tried. Love your videos, Nadine!♥️ You entered my personal skin care hall of fame a long time ago 😊

[@eireitalia1]

Thank you for doing this video Nadine. The search for the best lip balm is a very real one. I cannot use those with SPF in them bc I react to them and the flavors irritate and make dry matters worse. Need to find this Cicoplast Levres ASAP bc my lips have already started with their seasonal dryness from cold and need healing.

[@scrandiebeauty5020]

Our lip sauce is a gloss + oil hybrid. It is replacing people's go-to lip treatments. When you use it, the constant need for reapplying is eliminated!

[@pk8720]

LRP Cicaplast levres is my HG! So glad to hear that it's your favourite too. On a relevant note, their cicaplast mains is amazing too. Although, it's actually for healing dry hands. But i use it mainly for my heels and I've never found any heel product that works just as good as this one.

[@emmeviene]

Thank you so much for the La Roche Posay Cicaplast recommendation! My dry, parched lips are thanking you for saving them. 😄😄😄 I just bought one after watching your video and they brought great relief to my lips. I’m not going to use any other lip balm again.

[@PawsR_us]

Thanks. I used to use lip balms and they feel useless and don’t really do anything to my lips. I watched your videos and purchased the laroche posay because I have an oily skin and I already use la roche posay products so I said why not give it a go. I just use the lip balm for the first tome and it feels so light and moisturizing on the lips. I hope it works :)

[@DouceVipere]

And I ALWAYS hated the feeling of mint on lip balms. There is a thing called Carmex that every single person here in the desert uses during winter time. I used it once and discarded. Hate anything cooling on my skin, even worse if it tingles at the same time. In the US I use Neosporin lips for night time, Avon Beyond Color Lip Conditioner which has Hyaluronic Acid and SPF for daytime. Then I found out Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip balm, which is also a good substitute for Neosporin, but not as efficient. While I lived in the UK, I was always a bit lost, should have used E45 on my lips too.

[@helencayoevans5817]

I love using Tom Ford clutch size tinted lip balms. Pricey but I think they are fantastic! They are designed for summer but the work really well in winter too.

[@michellebadloe5465]

I use my lip balm so much, even through the night if I wake up. I can handle stand lipstick as they feel so dry. I've ordered the LaRoche one but had aquaphor in and been using it a couple of days and I have already seen an improvement. Many thanks for doing this video Nadine:-)

[@bookishfairygodmother]

It did work for Lily! I heard about it from her! I totally bought the cicaplst for myself too. :) I do have to say I also enjoy the Agave Lip Mask from bite beauty. I use that one at night.

[@jenniferwightwick5158]

Yes, it was in her monthly favourites, and she credited you with recommending it, Nadine! Also, the lip balm with rose wouldn't happen to be By Terry's Baume de Rose, would it?!

[@scienceandstuff5450]

Yiuglow they have it in a stick now I believe.

[@amyb3457]

LOVE Bite Beauty’s Agave lip mask!

[@xeniaasw475]

I love both, but unfortunately the stick form doesn't work nearly as well. Still amazing compared to the 750 other lip balms on the market I've tried, but nothing beats the original lip mask for me!

[@Surfnyolly]

Wow the Agave Lip Mask made my entire lip and skin around it flare up. I used it the first 5-7 times but then I just became highly allergic to it. It took a week to heal :(

[@julieholmes3455]

I use honey mixed with almond oil once every night. It works!

[@Jentri421]

I’m gong to try the la roche posay one. In the winter (in FL! Crazy, I know!) I get the worst chapped lips. I’ve been using straight lanolin and it helps but it’s messy. I’ve never found anything that works for the winter. Thank you Nadine! Loved the rant. 😊

[@Staceface_95]

I am a lip balm addict and have been suffering from really dry lips in the winter for the past 3-4 years. I’m heading to the store now to get a couple of your recommended products and I’ll be throwing out ALL of my lip balms since they have fragrance 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@izziwizziranaway]

I love Nuxe Rêve de miel lip balm in a pot (not tried the stick version). It’s matte and if you press your tongue to your lips it absorbs the moisture in seconds. Lasts ages on your lips. It has lemon in it (sorry Nadine), but it never leaves me with dry lips. Other balms do so they just get binned.

[@sankey1988]

I love lanolin. I was using it for breastfeeding and put it on my lips one day in desperation. I couldn't believe how good it is! It's the only thing I use now!

[@goldensprite3373]

I love that too

[@NataschaO]

It's not unusual to moisturize your lips more than your face, though. Moisturizer on your face usually stays in place the whole day, whereas any emollient applied to our lips gets removed through eating, drinking, kissing, or just by being licked off. So I think it's feasible to reapply a lip balm throughout the day if you need it. The same thing goes for hands. When you wash them with soap, you are usually going to want to apply lotion afterwards. This does not mean your hands are in bad condition, or that your hand cream is bad.

Went to Boots yesterday.......they have sold out! Popped in my local chemist today....they had 25% off ! Win win for me! Thanks Nadine

Thank you so much for producing this video! I have constantly dry lips all year round despite using balms every night. I don't find petroleum based products (i.e. Vaseline) to be at all effective as they just provide a barrier and don't do anything to replenish the moisture. So I cannot wait to try the La Roche Posay cream that you recommended - I ordered it whilst watching the video!

The Cicaplast Baume Hands is also the best hand cream/treatment that I have ever used. Incredible and cheap.

Very helpful video. I am not certain I agreed that limonene or capsaicin are in general bad for your skin or lips in the way I understand their action, but equally I respect your opinion so will keep your warning well in mind.

I can’t live without the feeling of peppermint on my lips, I will never stop. It gives me this high for my lips, I just can’t get enough. What I do is take my Aquaphor(Aquaphor is the only product that has ever kept my lips moisturizer ll through my sleep into my morning. Not even Vaseline or mineral oil has lasted all night, even though they’re the main ingredients in Aquaphor), and I add a little of my organic Moringa oil to add extra moisture, then I add a few drops of organic peppermint oil. It’s my favorite thing ever. Burt’s bees isn’t nearly hydrating enough, plus this is a nice vegan alternative. As for those who refuse any petrolatum products, I can’t help you but my skin loves it more than anything.

Also, I own Aquaphor specifically for the lips, had a million more ingredients than regular Aquaphor, but it doesn’t work for me. It works very well as far as providing lasting moisture. But it just has that “filmy” feeling which I hate. Mineral oil or Vaseline may be considered films, but you don’t notice a filmy feeling at all.

You do you, but all you’re doing is creating a never ending cycle. I’m speaking as a former mint lip balm addict myself. You may love the feeling but that doesn’t mean it’s good for the health of your lips or surrounding skin & that will only get worse over time. There are numerous non-mint, non/petrolatum options if you do ever decide to kick the habit.

Finally someone is talking about this! If you wouldn't put peppermint menthol stuff on your face then don't put it on your lips. Good info. Thanks Nadine.

Throwing out my entire stack of lip products in 3, 2, 1..... I have been ADDICTED to lip gloss, lip balm, and lipstick for about 20 years, and I am desperate to find a cure for my cronically dry lips. Thank you, thank you for this valuable information! 🙏🏻

[@lorrilewis2178]

Paula Begoun of The Cosmetics Cop/Beautypedia has been saying this forever, but somehow the information still doesn't get out there enough. Good job talking about it.

At some point I had to buy lip balm, which I don't usually do because I don't need it that much, and I kept telling everybody that I felt like it made my lips feel worse. They looked better but it was like they were addicted to the balm and I HAD TO re apply it over and over. And I used the number one brand in France, the one everyone use. My friends and familly told me I was crazy and imagining things but it always felt wrong that they were using their balm 24/7, several times a day. I'm glad to see your explaination matches my thoughts. I'll keep in mind the LaRoche Posay product next time i'll need a balm. Thank you for this video, very instructive ! I'll be sure to share it with my relatives who still think it's the fruits of my imagination ahah

This is why I love you Nadine, scientific and factual based knowledge not just opinion! I have never understood why people love products like Carmex or Burt’s bees because the just burn and irritate! ✨

[@AmandaJYoungs]

So grateful for this, Nadine. Thank you!

[@debibasile7438]

Thanks Nadine! You have solved a longtime problem. This is a great post.

Hi nadine. ....love your posts and follow religiously. I have been using the UK produced 'Rose & Co' lip salves.....In particular the rode flavoured one,for years. I don't suffer from chapped or peeling lips, but I do like to put this on at night to make sure they don't dry out. I like to make sure I'm using products that will hydrate and plump and moisturise I purchased this mainly because the ingredients list contained lots of oils and beeswax, but after seeing this post, I read it again and the top ingredient is petrolatum. My question is, will the other ingredients be of any benefit if the product contains petrolatum? I mean, will the other ingredients even penetrative to aid lip hydration if there is petrolatum present? on case you're interested. ..The first ingredient is petrolatum, followed by sweet almond oil and then beeswax.. I've never been irritated by Amy if the ingredients, even though I sometimes slather it on, but can't see the point if the other good ingredients cannot be of any use if petrolatum isn't going to let them get into the skin. I hope you can address this as I can't seem to find any answers on the 'net'

[@karenhiggins7745]

Thanks nadine, my son suffers terribly from sore lips for years i will def be buying the le roche pose to give it a go..xx

[@plasmadlite8661]

I love Cicaplast, but that packaging... it's not easy to apply at all, or even. Biotherm also does a formulation incredibly similar to Cicaplast, Beurre de levres... its perfect twin. Love it!

[@jaxt7197]

Excellent topic...thanks for all the recs!
