Im a guy but have been watching you for months. Thank you . youve helped me so much! Ive always loved to take care of my skin. But lately youve branched into makeup! It makes me giddy becauses think of everyone youve helped! You should be so proud!
Drinking a good amount of water and staying away from coffee helped me tremendously. I still exfoliate my lips twice a week gently with sugar and honey, and of course I use a good nourishing balm daily. I jog daily and do a 1 hour cardio work out and apparently I keep my mouth open so I have to drink a lot more water now
I’ve tried so many hydrating SPF lip balms for years, and so far the ones that have worked for me and I love are the Vanicream SPF (mineral), and Coola Suncare Liplux Sport Original Formula Lip Balm Sunscreen SPF 30 (chemical) . Hope that helps some of you out 😁
Also toothpaste! I have so many allergies and it never occurred to me that I could have an allergy to common toothpaste ingredients. I started using an SLS free toothpaste and now my lips are just normal dry and respond a lot better to lip balms. It might be toothpaste if you notice issues in your mouth as well like sloughing skin.
I’m not sure if ClingPro toothcream by 3M might be when you could try. It’s pricey around 15USD (I’m in Australia), it’s like a Denshaw grade toothpaste although it’s actually a tooth cream. It’s like a bit of getting used to, because it’s not like peppermint minty Standard toothpaste type flavoured: but my dentist recommended it to me a few years ago when my teeth were having a lot of problems - no problems there. Yes it’s been the foot and toothpaste and my mouthwash is approximately half the price. It’s just easier to say that the quoteprices because I’m in Australia. So for anyone else in Oz, dentists often recommend the Neutroflour 220 mouthwash - lots of people go to the chemist and pay AU$12 or $13 for 56 g of that brand in toothpaste. But in the one I mentioned, clingPro I get 112 g of toothpaste or tooth cream I should say for around $20-$22 Australian (I buy online in bulk, so the Moorad by the less it makes the postage is in the $10 I paid postage. Are used to buy a years supply at once but this past year I think I bought about eight tubes which is more than two years supply. And yes cost to fortune but it really made that $10 in delivery work - I got the guy to check the use by date on the actual boxes it was sending me before I did say and the years but has a few years on it. Don’t ask me how I started talking about this. Best of luck
Love the Sun Bum SPF 30 - yes, I admit it - Mango and Key Lime. Pacifica is sure to be a terrific product. Love their nail polish and mascara is the absolute best!
I love using Vaseline cocoa butter for my lips. It smells like chocolate 🍫 and it doesn’t do nothing to my lips. People say Vaseline is not good for your lips, but everyone is different
I'm so glad to hear you recommend Vaseline! A few years ago I developed some sort of reaction to whatever lip balm I was using (I never wear makeup, and always choose sensitive skin stuff, so who knows what it was), and Vaseline is now the only thing I can use. Glad to know it's safe to use!
Omg yes I wanted them to be good, why?? I have no clue but I bought about 3 and gave up. I now use Burt's Bees and on rare occasions I will treat myself to fresh rose or plum lip balm, my gosh those are both sooo nourishing and hydrating
Vaseline is the best lip balm I’ve ever used and I’m never leaving it! I think I’m allergic to lanolin because “natural/organic” lip balms, which tend to have lanolin, never fail to make my lips “break out” in bumps.
I use pure lanolin ointment that is aimed for breast care of breastfeeding women as a lip balm. It's amazing! Super moisturizing, isn't as greasy as vaseline and has this beautiful lustre to it. Looks like a very glossy gloss, only not liquid-y and runny at all. Highly recommend if you're not allergic! (I'm European and 15g, which is over 0.5oz, costs about $3 here)
aquaphor lip repair is my go to at night. I love it! I am a serial lip gloss applier and abuser. I use aquaphor at night and I swear by it. no more chapped lips 💋💋💋
I tried the Healing ointment from Cera Ve on my lips and loved it! I’ve alway had it and for some reason never thought to put it there. Thank you once again 😃
Thank you this was very helpful! I use Blistex DCT SPF 20. It comes in a tub so I've been able to get my husband and son to use it as it doesn't look like a lipstick like may of the tube ones.
Colleen O'Brien I get requests for this but tbh there is not much content for an entire video as there is not much to say. Will think about a way to get this information across in a video in the future
Based on your recommendation, I recently bought the vanicream lip protectant/sunscreen. I looooove it!! For the first time in years my lips are soft and feel great. Love the sunscreen protection as well!!! Thank you so much for the help and advice!!
Thank you so much, I’m just now getting more into skincare, body care and now lip care. Since I don’t want to wear makeup no more. New subscriber. Keep the videos coming :)
Thanks for the SPF lip balm recommendations! I'm pretty good at wearing sunscreen, but I neglect the lips so I should get on that. Two recs for you: Lansinoh, a lanolin product technically made for chafed nipples (lol) that I wear overnight and is SUPER moisturizing. It's a great dupe for a product called Lanolips that is popular in the UK, as well as the pricey Bite beauty agave lip mask. It's cheap, comes in a big tube, and I get it at Target. My other one is the Hurraw black cherry tinted lip balm. It's moisturizing, has a pretty tint, is organic, and - best of all - is available on the VC!
Are lip moisturizers that contain sunscreen actives (inorganic or organic) safe to ingest in small amounts? Such as when drinking or eating and a little of the moisturizer gets ingested?
I usually come away from your videos with a list of items/ideas. Thanks for all of your info! I'm still a convert to nutritional yeast salad with lentils. Your getting us all healthier, inside and outside! Take care & enjoy the weekend Vicki
I’ve only had a bad reaction to one lip product: Burt’s Bees Overnight Intensive lip treatment. I have no idea why, because it’s made with natural ingredients (I think). I’d say it’s the peppermint oil, except I never have had a reaction to any other mint lip balms. I love minty lip balms. 🤔
Just because an ingredient is "natural" does not mean that it is gentle/safe. Just because an ingredient is "unnatural" does not mean that is is harmful.
I love your videos! So informative. And the comments are incredibly positive! I wonder if they are filtered, because it is insanely rare to see such a positive little corner of the Internet
@@asdfghjkl-ld7iv it's not as thick and has added ingredients. A balm formulated with petrolatum, hyaluronic acid and ceramides provides extra hydration and replenishes the skin's barrier while helping to temporarily protect and relieve chafed, chapped or cracked skin.
Thanks for this video Dr.Dray! I use Vaseline on my dry lips at night, and have since I was a kid, (and that's a LONG time ago). It works great, and it's so inexpensive, I just don't understand why anyone would use anything else! I tried Aquaphor recently only because someone recommended it, but it's no better than Vaseline imo. I just started Vanicream SPF on my lips since you recommended it and I'm perfectly happy with it. Thanks! Rita
I love the harraw- blue chamomile vanilla night balm.. it’s the only thing that keeps my lips in good condition. I’ve tried the bite agave mask but it’s nothing compared to the Harraw balms
Thanks for the great suggestions, i really like the sun bum in the coconut and it also comes in a mineral sunscreen. Love that its kinda thick so it stays on better than the vaseline. Id been on the search just because ive always used the minty ones not realizing they were the culprit of my extreme dry lips. The more i used the more i needed.
I have used first aid beauty ultra repair intensive lip balm for years . Very occlusive/waxy so you can put it on then be good for hours (ie before going into OR). Not sure if you’ve done one but I would love a review of first aid beauty
Hi Dr. Dray, I realize this question has nothing to do with the subject of this video but in an earlier video you mentioned your mom lived in Colorado. Then in a later video you mentioned going over to her house to do some de cluttering. So I am assuming your wonderful mom was able to move down to Houston to be near you. I think it is great that the two of you are so close and are able to live very near each other. I have been to Houston only once when we lived in San Antonio for 2 years back in 1997 to 1999. I loved Houston a little more than San Antonio. But we since have been back in Colorado for the last 17 years. You are great. So happy to watch all your videos. I learn something new everyday. Thank you for all the time you take out of your life to inform the public about skincare.
I'm a vaseline on the lips girl at night! Used it for years. Hate anything with fragrance or flavor. I'll try the Vanicream SPF for my outdoor activities. Love your videos!
I personally LOVE the vaseline cocoa butter lip therapy ! Its the only thing that really moisturize my lips and make them really soft , other lip balms dont really do much
Hello! Thanks for your insightful review! Many sunscreens for the lips have whitish finish, so if I apply them first and then a lipstick on top do they still work? I mean, physical sunscreens should be on top to bounce out sun rays? Or they equally work under makeup? Thank you.
I'm allergic to many ingredients including propolis, which is in nearly most lip products. Been using vanicream with spf and neutrogena hydro boost for years and love them. Vaniply goes on every nite before bed and I've been wanting to try the cerave ointment. Thank you for recognizing face and lip allergies as it's very hard to find products. I hope people purchase these items because if they ever get discontinued, I would be lost without them. Thank you again!!
I'm all about that Pacifica in Peach, and Target sells it which is great. The best thing about it is that it protects my lips, gives me great color, and makes me want to reapply! I don't find myself licking my lips with it even though it has stevia. Highly recommend!
Maria Aye - hi, could you please tell me if tattooed skin is the same as regular skin in the long run or does it get dry, wrinkly and damaged faster than tattoo free skin?
adti ashok I honestly have no idea. But I will say, I have a full sleeve (tattoos from shoulder to wrist) on one arm, and 0 tattoos on the other arm. My left arm(the full sleeved arm) is slightly softer than the right arm, the tattoo-less arm. I know it sounds super crazy. But after I started tattooing my arm I did notice a texture difference in my skin. Also, of course I'm not a doctor, and everyone is different, and treats their skin differently, but most of my friends who are tattooed moisturize a lot more and use sunscreen on our tattoos to help the life of the tattoo. Over time, the ink fades and especially color tattoos. And even more so for people of color, like myself, it takes more ink to show up. Also, putting a moisturizer on tattooed skin makes the tattoo pop. It gives it more life. Moisturizing helps with the overall life of a tattoo. So I'm not sure if it causes the skin to wrinkle faster or anything like that. Definitely doesn't dry the skin out more, at least for myself. Again, everyone is different. Everyone has a different skin type. Some people take excellent care of their tattoos where others not so much. So I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, it's just made my skin softer and of course prettier to look at since I am a walking canvas. Hope this helps!!
I've been using the Aquphor on my lips for years!!! The larger tub last forever!! I know petroleum has a long shelf life, but does it ever expire? I have to try the CeraVe! Thanks for the tips for the lips hahah :D
Is it safe to put a regular combo sunscreen on your lips? I’ve been using the Cerave AM facial moisturizing sunscreen on my face and lips, and it does not irritate me at all. Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing all of this professional information!! Love Pacifica, it is a bit dry but causes no allergic reactions. I have the plain balm and the brownish one and love them!! I think there is a peach one too. I just got a tinted lip balm with SPF from Beach Bum and I love it!! I can wear their regular SPF balms as well with no allergic reaction. Eos has some higher SPF lip balms but I have some trouble with the ingredients in some of their balms. I have not had trouble with the SPF balms as of yet but I don't wear them daily either. Each of their flavors have a different list of ingredients so if you react to one flavor you can always try another. I am best with their citrus formulas. Revlon has lip balm with SPF 15 that is also ok but has flavor. I use vanilla or peach with no problem. I usually have huge problems with SPF lip balm with allergic reactions just for FYI, I would not recommend something I have bad irritation from. A lip treatment that I love is the Bite Beauty Agave lip mask at Sephora. It does not have any SPF. I was getting very deep and painful blood blisters on my lower lip. I was going to go see the MD as they were not healing. The Bite lip mask was recommended to me and this completely healed the blood blisters and I have never had them again. The plain one does not have flavor. I love the lavender tinted one but it does have a flavor. I also love Great Clips SPF 15 Tea Tree lip balm, no irritation at all!! I am going to look into some of the other SPF lip balms you recommended as I almost always react to lip balms.
I stumbled across one of your videos a few days ago and have gone crazy binge watching all of them. Pretty soon, my husband is going to get tired of hearing me say, "Dr. Dray says this and Dr. Dray recommends this..." ! You've got to be a busy woman and so I appreciate the time you take to make and edit these videos. My interest is dealing with my aging skin but I have a question concerning acne treatment. My daughter, who happens to be a third year pediatric resident in North Carolina, deals with acne. She is 6 months pregnant though so it sounds like the Differin is not something she should use. Could she use Benzoyl Perioide or Salicylic Acid without any problems? She won't do anything that is costly or takes a lot of time! I'll be seeing her soon and wanted to give her that info. Thanks again for all the fantastic and informative videos!
Thanks so much!! Sadly not much is known about safety of acne medication ingredients. While no reports of adverse effects in women using salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy have been reported....we cautiously advise not to use these during pregnancy. About the only acne medication considered very safe in pregancy is azelaic acid (brand name finacea or azelex). Blue or red light phototherapy (done in office for best results as otc devices are not regulated and have variable outputs) is sometimes a good option, as well as a few topical antibiotics. UNC and Duke both have fantastic derm departments if your daughter is there for training. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for taking the time to answer and provide such good information! I'll pass it on to my daughter when I see her soon. She is at UNC...she and her husband are both third year residents there.
@@DrDrayzday can you recommend a lip balm for seb derm prone skin ? I’ve been looking at products and lots of products have triggering ingredients such as a oils etc. is petroleum safe for seb derm skin
I love watching your videos...thanks for all the great info! I had the Maybelline baby lips and loved it, in fact I think it's the only lip balm I used the whole thing without losing it! Otherwise I use vaseline every night. I definitely want to check out the CeraVe though.
I have chronic dry lips, and I've tried a lot of lip hydrating products. The worst ones either disappear after 20 mins and/or leave my lips even dryer than before. I never thought I was allergic to anything, but some products seem to dry my lips out more, so maybe I will start to pay attention to the ingredients in the drying ones. Eucerin has an "Aquaphor Lip Repair" product that is very good when my lips are already dry and flaky - very soothing and feels nourishing. If I just want to prevent my lips from becoming dry, Chapstick brand plain Chapstick works great - nothing fancy, but the chapstick-y scent is nostalgic for me. But it doesn't do a good job of fixing already dry lips, unless I apply it non-stop for several days. I also like the classic Burt's Bees. It's not as good as the Aquaphor Lip Repair, but feels good when my lips are dry. Some products like Carmex make my lips feel more dry. Those Baby Lips dry my lips out a bit, I think because they're not thick/hydrating enough. The Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm is a good tinted chapstick with spf 20. Chemical sunscreens don't bother my lips. The Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment with SPF 15 is SO GOOD as a tinted lip product (some are even closer to a lipstick in terms of pigmentation) but they are pricier. I also like the Fresh Sugar Nourishing Lip Balm Advanced Therapy (the one in the pot) for before bedtime, because it's quite thick and sticky and occlusive and stays on my lips all night. But it grosses me out that it's in a pot, and I have to stick my fingers in. The most nourishing and thick lip product I've ever used is the Aerin Rose Lip Conditioner. It really stays in a thick layer on my lips ALL NIGHT LONG and I always wake up with the softest lips. It's really expensive though. I'm working my way through a free-be sample, and don't think I'll purchase it myself.
Maybe you are allergic to petroleum, I have a similar issue so I decided to start making my own lip balm. So far that helps. You can try Trader Joe’s spearmint lip balm ( petroleum and paraben free plus it’s vegan😍). Or use their argan oil at night that helps me too. I don’t work for TJs or get sponsored just find that their products help. Sometimes I use plain coconut oil or shea butter but the smell can be over powering.
Think I'll give the Neutrogena lip gloss a try. I'm headed back into working in the outpatient clinic setting, and I don't like having to constantly re-apply make-up in that setting.
I'm also currently using up the Maybelline Baby Lips with the SPF20 in it. Not wild about it, but where I'm living, I pretty much would have to order lip ointments online.
I adore the Blistex Five Star lip protector with 30 SPF. I discovered it when in Australia. It helped me prevent cold sores while being exposed to unforgiving sun exposure. It is a shame that I can’t find it in Paris.
I love and appreciate honest, experienced reviews, thank you! The issue of picking lips for moisture backfiring isn't really evaporation and drawing water out of the lips. It is due to the enzymes in saliva. I really love your knowledge of ingredients that are most likely to be helpful when it's so easy to blow money trying them all!
Love combo: Pixi sun serum+ lip balm This duo is right next to my chair so reapplying sunscreen is seamless. Lips hydrated. Pricey but if it makes life easier it is worth it. Perhaps it originally came in a BeautyBox since I would never have "found" it.
i will have to get the neutrogena lip treatment i didnt see that one, i did pick up the neutrogena lip gloss one and it is fabulous. this is off topic but i had gotten a bottle of the curel lotion youve been using in the blue bottle and i absolutly have been loving it! picked up the cerave cream in the tub you recomended in the other days vlog and i cant wait to try it. i use the sun bum chapstick and its fabulous too :)i did also pick up aveeno's new lotion in the tub it has yogurt in it and vanilla powder it smelled fabulous im always on the hunt for a new fabulous lotion to try well it will be returned it was awful my arms felt like i poured maple syrup on them lol. im sticking to your recomendations from now on lol!
yes i too love the scents of them but lord they are just so sticky and waxy feeling, i think i will stick to cerave and curel and just invest in the aura cacia sprays you use. lol
yes i picked the cerave cream one up today i wet my arms an applied it to wet skin like dr dray says and it absolulty is wonderful,cerave is just the rockstar of skin care in my opinion. i wasted so much money on different brands of stuff over the years in search of anti aging until i found this channel and thanks to dr dray i feel so much more educated about my skin and sunscreen i learn so much from her ;)
I totally agree with you. I have wasted money on ineffective products too, I think we all have. Dr. Dray explains everything so well and she is so entertaining. I like her keep it simple and effective approach to skin care and I have become a huge fan of sunscreen!
Love the neutrogena hydro boost lip gloss and treatment too. Also love the revitalizing lip balm by neutrogena... has spf and adds great color to the lips.
I use my facial sunscreen on my lips when i apply it to my face and chest, is that enough protection or should i be useing a designated product for my lips?
Dr. Dray, Great Review Video! Thanks for the genuine love, effort and knowledge you put in to Every video! I sincerely admire and appreciate you. Love and Light💖Carli
Yes I love the Neutrogena ligloss. I receive alot of free product in training and this was one of them and very impressed. Buying some of the Cera Ve ointment tomorrow. Thank you!!!!
This Jack Black Ultra Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 has literally changed my life, FabulousFortyPlus! Thank you for the recommendation! I'm an avid "peel the skin off my lips" girl. Sounds harsh but I know I don't drink enough water and living in a super dry climate, my lips have been a wreck for years and years. I do like the Aquaphor but it still wasn't helping the skin on my lips from drying and peeling. Enter Jack Black lip balm. Within 3 days, I couldn't find a dry lifted piece of skin on my lips at all. I'm 3 weeks into using it faithfully and the results are nothing short of a miracle. Bless Dr Dray, her fabulous followers and You for such caring and informative advice. Best information on the Web for sure ♥♥♥
This needs to be my science lesson today. Kids tend to lick their lips and they get so red around them it looks like a stain from juice. Hopefully I can save a few of them from this. Thanks Dr. Dray for the idea! ❤️Laura
Blistex intense lip therapy - (metal tube with red cap, kind of looks like a bazuka product honestly) works better than vaseline as it contains urea which helps shed the dead skin from the lips while it conditions. Unfortunatley, however it is *very* minty and contains limonene as a fragrance type thingy.... BUT I mean, if they are that bad and chapped you will notice an immediate difference and it numbs the area so they stop stinging.
I've really enjoyed catching up with all your skin care videos and this is a great one! One balm you might consider looking for: Aquaphor makes two specifically for lips and their composition is different from the Aquaphor product you mentioned. It's their Lip Repair- there's one with a chemical sunscreen (SPF 30) and one without spf. Both are fragrance and flavor free. I've used the one without spf for over a decade and it's one of the few American products I have shipped to me here in France as it's not available here. An absolute staple!
Dr. Dray your videos are very informative. You always explain why something i good for you instead of just saying its good because of the scent or because it feels nice.
Hi. Hope all is well. Loved this as i am kinda a lip balm junkie. Do you think hydromol ointment is suitable for face and lips as im using differin? xx
This looks like a great product! I think it might possibly worsen acne a bit on the face (other than lips)...sort of like vaseline ointment. If not, would be good with differin. Maybe test it out on a patch of facial skin and see if this is or is not the case.
Lip balm Perfectly Pure, Natural Vitamin E. I found it in the pharmacy and HBA aisles at Walmart for $1.50 for a .12 oz tube. It seems to work. No fragrance, just greasy.
I just saw my dermatologist because I’ve been having this bizarre gritty sandlike texture when I rub my lips together and also burning. I’ve always used natural lip balms religiously but I started to notice this even when I put them on. I was told I have something that sounds like penlesh? And my dermatologist told me that all natural lip products are actually dehydrating! I’ve been using Treat organic lip balms for the last year and I’m thinking I started having a reaction because they are known for their flavors.
I have cracking soreness on the corners of my mouth after using antihistamines for allergies. I try Vaseline and healing ointment but not helping. Any advice?
SMG1234 G Thanks for the tip. I was about to throw mine away. If it's "healthy" enough for nipples and infants, it should be good enough for adult lips.
Trying so hard not to lick my lips while shes talking about it 😂
Omg true 😂

Was doing it as she first mentioned it 😭

Made my lips peel.
She said “licking lips” and I immediately reached for my cereve ointment! Very helpful information!
I’ve used Vaseline on my lips since I was a little kid! People look at me like I’m nuts. It works so well for me!

Based on your recommendation, I recently bought the vanicream lip protectant/sunscreen. I looooove it!! For the first time in years my lips are soft and feel great. Love the sunscreen protection as well!!! Thank you so much for the help and advice!!
so glad to hear :)

R Baker a sunburn on your lips is no joke! Makes them feels swollen and then they peel 😩
Thank you so much, I’m just now getting more into skincare, body care and now lip care. Since I don’t want to wear makeup no more. New subscriber. Keep the videos coming :)
Thanks!
No one
Dr Dray: Peh - tra - lot - uhm
Thanks for the SPF lip balm recommendations! I'm pretty good at wearing sunscreen, but I neglect the lips so I should get on that. Two recs for you: Lansinoh, a lanolin product technically made for chafed nipples (lol) that I wear overnight and is SUPER moisturizing. It's a great dupe for a product called Lanolips that is popular in the UK, as well as the pricey Bite beauty agave lip mask. It's cheap, comes in a big tube, and I get it at Target. My other one is the Hurraw black cherry tinted lip balm. It's moisturizing, has a pretty tint, is organic, and - best of all - is available on the VC!
Thanks! Lansinoh sounds like a similar product to "bag balm"
I have been using the Cerave healing ointment on my lips at night and I like it. I will look for the Vanicream SPF next. Thanks for the great tips!
It is my fave!
This has saved my lips from trentinoin!
I suffer with dry lips too ! It has a lot of product can provide me exact name of the ointment that you have used !
I love that Neutrogena hydroboost lipgloss. So many things make my lips peel but they don'e!
they are nice !
Totally agree! They are AWESOME!
Are lip moisturizers that contain sunscreen actives (inorganic or organic) safe to ingest in small amounts? Such as when drinking or eating and a little of the moisturizer gets ingested?
yes
My go to is the Jack Black spf lip balm. I definitely thought you'd mention it. So so good.
I usually come away from your videos with a list of items/ideas. Thanks for all of your info! I'm still a convert to nutritional yeast salad with lentils.
Your getting us all healthier, inside and outside!
Take care & enjoy the weekend
Vicki
Thanks so much Ms Vicki and have a great weekend :)
This was such a nice comment, aww 🥰
I’ve only had a bad reaction to one lip product: Burt’s Bees Overnight Intensive lip treatment. I have no idea why, because it’s made with natural ingredients (I think). I’d say it’s the peppermint oil, except I never have had a reaction to any other mint lip balms. I love minty lip balms. 🤔
Just because an ingredient is "natural" does not mean that it is gentle/safe.
Just because an ingredient is "unnatural" does not mean that is is harmful.
It was probably because of those natural ingredients. They can be incredibly irritating.
Kept refreshing just in the hope that your video upload must be on the way..and voila! 😂
Thanks a ton for spreading your knowledge
thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed and I hope your week is going well :)
I love your videos! So informative. And the comments are incredibly positive! I wonder if they are filtered, because it is insanely rare to see such a positive little corner of the Internet
CeraVe Ointment ❣️ Use every day now thanks to you Dr D. Love it. Used to use Vaseline but I prefer the CeraVe.
Why do you prefer it? I want to get it but I don’t know whether it’s worth it when compared to normal Vaseline.
@@asdfghjkl-ld7iv it's not as thick and has added ingredients.
A balm formulated with petrolatum, hyaluronic acid and ceramides provides extra hydration and replenishes the skin's barrier while helping to temporarily protect and relieve chafed, chapped or cracked skin.
I appreciate your humor & as an esthetician I love your educational videos!! :)
Thanks!
Dr Dray l
Valeria Fernandez Totally agree with Valeria this is the only reason I was intrigued with this video xx
Thanks for this video Dr.Dray! I use Vaseline on my dry lips at night, and have since I was a kid, (and that's a LONG time ago). It works great, and it's so inexpensive, I just don't understand why anyone would use anything else! I tried Aquaphor recently only because someone recommended it, but it's no better than Vaseline imo. I just started Vanicream SPF on my lips since you recommended it and I'm perfectly happy with it. Thanks! Rita
Justinterested love it too and happy to hear you are enjoying
I love the harraw- blue chamomile vanilla night balm.. it’s the only thing that keeps my lips in good condition. I’ve tried the bite agave mask but it’s nothing compared to the Harraw balms
I’m using the Jack Black lip product with sunscreen and I like it.
Vaseline Lip Therapy is sooo good. I've had it since last year! It has helped me through winter and summer (:
Reliable for sure :)
I like that too :-)
can you talk a little about jar packaging and if it poses any issues like contamination of dirt/debris/bacteria going from your fingers into the jar?
I use the CeraVe Healing ointment at night and also carry one in my purse. I love it..simple, but perfect! Thank you for sharing Andrea!
My fave!
Thanks for the great suggestions, i really like the sun bum in the coconut and it also comes in a mineral sunscreen. Love that its kinda thick so it stays on better than the vaseline. Id been on the search just because ive always used the minty ones not realizing they were the culprit of my extreme dry lips. The more i used the more i needed.
I have used first aid beauty ultra repair intensive lip balm for years . Very occlusive/waxy so you can put it on then be good for hours (ie before going into OR).
Not sure if you’ve done one but I would love a review of first aid beauty
Hi Dr. Dray, I realize this question has nothing to do with the subject of this video but in an earlier video you mentioned your mom lived in Colorado. Then in a later video you mentioned going over to her house to do some de cluttering. So I am assuming your wonderful mom was able to move down to Houston to be near you. I think it is great that the two of you are so close and are able to live very near each other. I have been to Houston only once when we lived in San Antonio for 2 years back in 1997 to 1999. I loved Houston a little more than San Antonio. But we since have been back in Colorado for the last 17 years. You are great. So happy to watch all your videos. I learn something new everyday. Thank you for all the time you take out of your life to inform the public about skincare.
Yeah you are watching a lot of my older vlogs...things change and I elaborate as I go
That is interesting information. I had no idea the sun could cause more cold sore breakouts.
I'm so glad i found your channel. I don't know why i never thought about putting Sun screen on my lips. But i sure will now.
so glad you are here
Would love to see a foot care video with product recommendations
i have one
The Neutrogena lip gloss looks really nice on you.
kmscrap when did she apply?
Man I really need to watch your videos with a spreadsheet open to keep track of all the products I want to try
I'm a vaseline on the lips girl at night! Used it for years. Hate anything with fragrance or flavor. I'll try the Vanicream SPF for my outdoor activities. Love your videos!
I like it!
I personally LOVE the vaseline cocoa butter lip therapy ! Its the only thing that really moisturize my lips and make them really soft , other lip balms dont really do much
Especially right now i’m on accutane and my lips are sooo cracked 😣
I agree 💯
Hello! Thanks for your insightful review! Many sunscreens for the lips have whitish finish, so if I apply them first and then a lipstick on top do they still work? I mean, physical sunscreens should be on top to bounce out sun rays? Or they equally work under makeup? Thank you.
better to put them on top of lipstick...the lipstick stick/applicator will remove too much sunscreen
I'm allergic to many ingredients including propolis, which is in nearly most lip products. Been using vanicream with spf and neutrogena hydro boost for years and love them. Vaniply goes on every nite before bed and I've been wanting to try the cerave ointment. Thank you for recognizing face and lip allergies as it's very hard to find products. I hope people purchase these items because if they ever get discontinued, I would be lost without them. Thank you again!!
I'm all about that Pacifica in Peach, and Target sells it which is great. The best thing about it is that it protects my lips, gives me great color, and makes me want to reapply! I don't find myself licking my lips with it even though it has stevia. Highly recommend!
Lifeasahoosier good you found one and thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Aquaphor is good for tattoos. Although now I use coconut oil while my tattoos heal. But Aquaphor is really good too!!!
Multipurpose for sure :)
Maria Aye - hi, could you please tell me if tattooed skin is the same as regular skin in the long run or does it get dry, wrinkly and damaged faster than tattoo free skin?
adti ashok I honestly have no idea. But I will say, I have a full sleeve (tattoos from shoulder to wrist) on one arm, and 0 tattoos on the other arm. My left arm(the full sleeved arm) is slightly softer than the right arm, the tattoo-less arm. I know it sounds super crazy. But after I started tattooing my arm I did notice a texture difference in my skin. Also, of course I'm not a doctor, and everyone is different, and treats their skin differently, but most of my friends who are tattooed moisturize a lot more and use sunscreen on our tattoos to help the life of the tattoo. Over time, the ink fades and especially color tattoos. And even more so for people of color, like myself, it takes more ink to show up. Also, putting a moisturizer on tattooed skin makes the tattoo pop. It gives it more life. Moisturizing helps with the overall life of a tattoo. So I'm not sure if it causes the skin to wrinkle faster or anything like that. Definitely doesn't dry the skin out more, at least for myself. Again, everyone is different. Everyone has a different skin type. Some people take excellent care of their tattoos where others not so much. So I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally, it's just made my skin softer and of course prettier to look at since I am a walking canvas. Hope this helps!!
Maria Aye - thank you so much for taking the time out to address my question in great detail. truly appreciate it. sending you love, from India.
How do you feel about Andy ointment? I've heard it is very good tattoos...
I've been using the Aquphor on my lips for years!!! The larger tub last forever!! I know petroleum has a long shelf life, but does it ever expire? I have to try the CeraVe! Thanks for the tips for the lips hahah :D
Is it safe to put a regular combo sunscreen on your lips? I’ve been using the Cerave AM facial moisturizing sunscreen on my face and lips, and it does not irritate me at all. Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing all of this professional information!! Love Pacifica, it is a bit dry but causes no allergic reactions. I have the plain balm and the brownish one and love them!! I think there is a peach one too. I just got a tinted lip balm with SPF from Beach Bum and I love it!! I can wear their regular SPF balms as well with no allergic reaction. Eos has some higher SPF lip balms but I have some trouble with the ingredients in some of their balms. I have not had trouble with the SPF balms as of yet but I don't wear them daily either. Each of their flavors have a different list of ingredients so if you react to one flavor you can always try another. I am best with their citrus formulas. Revlon has lip balm with SPF 15 that is also ok but has flavor. I use vanilla or peach with no problem. I usually have huge problems with SPF lip balm with allergic reactions just for FYI, I would not recommend something I have bad irritation from. A lip treatment that I love is the Bite Beauty Agave lip mask at Sephora. It does not have any SPF. I was getting very deep and painful blood blisters on my lower lip. I was going to go see the MD as they were not healing. The Bite lip mask was recommended to me and this completely healed the blood blisters and I have never had them again. The plain one does not have flavor. I love the lavender tinted one but it does have a flavor. I also love Great Clips SPF 15 Tea Tree lip balm, no irritation at all!! I am going to look into some of the other SPF lip balms you recommended as I almost always react to lip balms.
CeraVe Healing ointment is my FAVORITE 💙💙💙💙
I stumbled across one of your videos a few days ago and have gone crazy binge watching all of them. Pretty soon, my husband is going to get tired of hearing me say, "Dr. Dray says this and Dr. Dray recommends this..." ! You've got to be a busy woman and so I appreciate the time you take to make and edit these videos. My interest is dealing with my aging skin but I have a question concerning acne treatment. My daughter, who happens to be a third year pediatric resident in North Carolina, deals with acne. She is 6 months pregnant though so it sounds like the Differin is not something she should use. Could she use Benzoyl Perioide or Salicylic Acid without any problems? She won't do anything that is costly or takes a lot of time! I'll be seeing her soon and wanted to give her that info. Thanks again for all the fantastic and informative videos!
Thanks so much!! Sadly not much is known about safety of acne medication ingredients. While no reports of adverse effects in women using salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy have been reported....we cautiously advise not to use these during pregnancy. About the only acne medication considered very safe in pregancy is azelaic acid (brand name finacea or azelex). Blue or red light phototherapy (done in office for best results as otc devices are not regulated and have variable outputs) is sometimes a good option, as well as a few topical antibiotics. UNC and Duke both have fantastic derm departments if your daughter is there for training. Hope this helps :)
Thanks for taking the time to answer and provide such good information! I'll pass it on to my daughter when I see her soon. She is at UNC...she and her husband are both third year residents there.
@@DrDrayzday can you recommend a lip balm for seb derm prone skin ? I’ve been looking at products and lots of products have triggering ingredients such as a oils etc. is petroleum safe for seb derm skin
thanks for the video :) I was wondering what do you think about cocoa butter?
I love watching your videos...thanks for all the great info! I had the Maybelline baby lips and loved it, in fact I think it's the only lip balm I used the whole thing without losing it! Otherwise I use vaseline every night. I definitely want to check out the CeraVe though.
I have chronic dry lips, and I've tried a lot of lip hydrating products. The worst ones either disappear after 20 mins and/or leave my lips even dryer than before. I never thought I was allergic to anything, but some products seem to dry my lips out more, so maybe I will start to pay attention to the ingredients in the drying ones.
Eucerin has an "Aquaphor Lip Repair" product that is very good when my lips are already dry and flaky - very soothing and feels nourishing.
If I just want to prevent my lips from becoming dry, Chapstick brand plain Chapstick works great - nothing fancy, but the chapstick-y scent is nostalgic for me. But it doesn't do a good job of fixing already dry lips, unless I apply it non-stop for several days.
I also like the classic Burt's Bees. It's not as good as the Aquaphor Lip Repair, but feels good when my lips are dry.
Some products like Carmex make my lips feel more dry. Those Baby Lips dry my lips out a bit, I think because they're not thick/hydrating enough.
The Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm is a good tinted chapstick with spf 20. Chemical sunscreens don't bother my lips.
The Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment with SPF 15 is SO GOOD as a tinted lip product (some are even closer to a lipstick in terms of pigmentation) but they are pricier.
I also like the Fresh Sugar Nourishing Lip Balm Advanced Therapy (the one in the pot) for before bedtime, because it's quite thick and sticky and occlusive and stays on my lips all night. But it grosses me out that it's in a pot, and I have to stick my fingers in.
The most nourishing and thick lip product I've ever used is the Aerin Rose Lip Conditioner. It really stays in a thick layer on my lips ALL NIGHT LONG and I always wake up with the softest lips. It's really expensive though. I'm working my way through a free-be sample, and don't think I'll purchase it myself.
cherry chapstick brings back fond memories of "my first allowed lipstick" as a child, lol
Dr Dray - my first "allowed lipstick" was a Dr Pepper lip smacker! Too funny.
You should try the Bite Agave lip mask for thickness...
Maybe you are allergic to petroleum, I have a similar issue so I decided to start making my own lip balm. So far that helps. You can try Trader Joe’s spearmint lip balm ( petroleum and paraben free plus it’s vegan😍). Or use their argan oil at night that helps me too. I don’t work for TJs or get sponsored just find that their products help. Sometimes I use plain coconut oil or shea butter but the smell can be over powering.
My allergy that no one ever talks about is Shea Butter...It’s in so many lip products :(
At 8:00 that is the cutest little Vaseline I've ever seen!
Think I'll give the Neutrogena lip gloss a try. I'm headed back into working in the outpatient clinic setting, and I don't like having to constantly re-apply make-up in that setting.
i like it, it is moisturizing
I'm also currently using up the Maybelline Baby Lips with the SPF20 in it. Not wild about it, but where I'm living, I pretty much would have to order lip ointments online.
I adore the Blistex Five Star lip protector with 30 SPF. I discovered it when in Australia. It helped me prevent cold sores while being exposed to unforgiving sun exposure. It is a shame that I can’t find it in Paris.
I think I might be allergic to propolis because Burt’s Bees always hurt my lips
Nivea hydrocare SPF 15 lip balm is pretty darn good .
I love and appreciate honest, experienced reviews, thank you! The issue of picking lips for moisture backfiring isn't really evaporation and drawing water out of the lips. It is due to the enzymes in saliva. I really love your knowledge of ingredients that are most likely to be helpful when it's so easy to blow money trying them all!
(Should read "licking lips".....however, picking at and peeling lips would be a topic people might want comments on, too! )
thanks
Love combo: Pixi sun serum+ lip balm This duo is right next to my chair so reapplying sunscreen is seamless. Lips hydrated. Pricey but if it makes life easier it is worth it. Perhaps it originally came in a BeautyBox since I would never have "found" it.
i will have to get the neutrogena lip treatment i didnt see that one, i did pick up the neutrogena lip gloss one and it is fabulous. this is off topic but i had gotten a bottle of the curel lotion youve been using in the blue bottle and i absolutly have been loving it! picked up the cerave cream in the tub you recomended in the other days vlog and i cant wait to try it. i use the sun bum chapstick and its fabulous too :)i did also pick up aveeno's new lotion in the tub it has yogurt in it and vanilla powder it smelled fabulous im always on the hunt for a new fabulous lotion to try well it will be returned it was awful my arms felt like i poured maple syrup on them lol. im sticking to your recomendations from now on lol!
that aveeno one sounds like it would taste good! I love their lavender calming one for the fragrance, lol!!
yes i too love the scents of them but lord they are just so sticky and waxy feeling, i think i will stick to cerave and curel and just invest in the aura cacia sprays you use. lol
I love the Cerave cream. It's the best body moisturizer I have ever used.
yes i picked the cerave cream one up today i wet my arms an applied it to wet skin like dr dray says and it absolulty is wonderful,cerave is just the rockstar of skin care in my opinion. i wasted so much money on different brands of stuff over the years in search of anti aging until i found this channel and thanks to dr dray i feel so much more educated about my skin and sunscreen i learn so much from her ;)
I totally agree with you. I have wasted money on ineffective products too, I think we all have. Dr. Dray explains everything so well and she is so entertaining. I like her keep it simple and effective approach to skin care and I have become a huge fan of sunscreen!
Carmex is my go-to and Basic Organics E-Ointment.
I'm addicted to my Carmex too. It saves me in the winter.
Love the neutrogena hydro boost lip gloss and treatment too. Also love the revitalizing lip balm by neutrogena... has spf and adds great color to the lips.
it is a great one!
I use my facial sunscreen on my lips when i apply it to my face and chest, is that enough protection or should i be useing a designated product for my lips?
It's enough but reapply
Dr. Dray, Great Review Video! Thanks for the genuine love, effort and knowledge you put in to Every video! I sincerely admire and appreciate you. Love and Light💖Carli
Thanks Ms Carl & I appreciate you and all of your enthusiasm for skin care. HOpe your hump day is glorious :)
DazzlingChick and do.
Dr Dray
Can you do a video on exfoliative cheilitis? I have it and would like to see some of your suggestions. Thanks!
Yes I love the Neutrogena ligloss. I receive alot of free product in training and this was one of them and very impressed. Buying some of the Cera Ve ointment tomorrow. Thank you!!!!
:)
Try the Jack Black ultra therapy lip balm spf 25! I tried my husbands and then kept it for myself!
thanks for sharing! i hear good things about this one in the comments
This Jack Black Ultra Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 has literally changed my life, FabulousFortyPlus! Thank you for the recommendation! I'm an avid "peel the skin off my lips" girl. Sounds harsh but I know I don't drink enough water and living in a super dry climate, my lips have been a wreck for years and years. I do like the Aquaphor but it still wasn't helping the skin on my lips from drying and peeling. Enter Jack Black lip balm. Within 3 days, I couldn't find a dry lifted piece of skin on my lips at all. I'm 3 weeks into using it faithfully and the results are nothing short of a miracle. Bless Dr Dray, her fabulous followers and You for such caring and informative advice. Best information on the Web for sure ♥♥♥
Where is this sold?
Lynelle Thompson I got it at Ulta
@@wtfmyfriends thank you!!
This needs to be my science lesson today. Kids tend to lick their lips and they get so red around them it looks like a stain from juice. Hopefully I can save a few of them from this. Thanks Dr. Dray for the idea! ❤️Laura
Thanks! hope your classroom holiday festivities are going well and you get a holiday break soon :)
I have Baby lips for years it’s great! I am very fair skinned my daughter gives these to me for Christmas all the time.
Blistex intense lip therapy - (metal tube with red cap, kind of looks like a bazuka product honestly) works better than vaseline as it contains urea which helps shed the dead skin from the lips while it conditions. Unfortunatley, however it is *very* minty and contains limonene as a fragrance type thingy.... BUT I mean, if they are that bad and chapped you will notice an immediate difference and it numbs the area so they stop stinging.
I've really enjoyed catching up with all your skin care videos and this is a great one! One balm you might consider looking for: Aquaphor makes two specifically for lips and their composition is different from the Aquaphor product you mentioned. It's their Lip Repair- there's one with a chemical sunscreen (SPF 30) and one without spf. Both are fragrance and flavor free. I've used the one without spf for over a decade and it's one of the few American products I have shipped to me here in France as it's not available here. An absolute staple!
TFS
I would like to improve the quality of the skin on my lips. They always feel a little sore because lips in a constant state of being dry
You should try Paula's Choice lip and body treatment balm. It's absolutely amazing 😍
Dr. Dray your videos are very informative. You always explain why something i good for you instead of just saying its good because of the scent or because it feels nice.
I love your videos so much! I appreciate you helping us all. I am going to try and go as clean as I can. I want to better my skin. Thank you ❤
Hi. Hope all is well. Loved this as i am kinda a lip balm junkie. Do you think hydromol ointment is suitable for face and lips as im using differin? xx
This looks like a great product! I think it might possibly worsen acne a bit on the face (other than lips)...sort of like vaseline ointment. If not, would be good with differin. Maybe test it out on a patch of facial skin and see if this is or is not the case.
Is exfoliating lips often(like twice a week) bad?
Lip balm Perfectly Pure, Natural Vitamin E. I found it in the pharmacy and HBA aisles at Walmart for $1.50 for a .12 oz tube. It seems to work. No fragrance, just greasy.
I just saw my dermatologist because I’ve been having this bizarre gritty sandlike texture when I rub my lips together and also burning. I’ve always used natural lip balms religiously but I started to notice this even when I put them on. I was told I have something that sounds like penlesh? And my dermatologist told me that all natural lip products are actually dehydrating! I’ve been using Treat organic lip balms for the last year and I’m thinking I started having a reaction because they are known for their flavors.
I have cracking soreness on the corners of my mouth after using antihistamines for allergies. I try Vaseline and healing ointment but not helping. Any advice?
Me too! Nothing seems to be helping, even Vaseline isn’t helping.
Great video! I really like using lansinoh (nipple cream!) works the best as provides a thick film and moisturises the lips all day.
Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed!
SMG1234 G I use it too and love it. All these lip balms with sunscreen really irritate my lips.
SMG1234 G Thanks for the tip. I was about to throw mine away. If it's "healthy" enough for nipples and infants, it should be good enough for adult lips.
Unless allergic to it /sensitive to lanolin
I'm sensitive to Lanolin. It's causes my lips to break out in little bumps all around my mouth and extremely dry. 😢
You are the best! Thanks so much. So much great info I was not aware of.
Thanks for posting this video! I was just about to ask you about this. :)
Glad to hear it was helpful Ms Simi!
Could you do a best of Walmart chapsticks that's the only store near me.
