- Lip Balm Addiction
If you apply lip balm multiple times a day or panic when you don’t have chapstick on hand, you may be wondering if you’re addicted to your lip balm
Turns out that lip balms don’t contain any addicting ingredients but there are a few reasons why you may need to continually apply your lip balm:
1. You may have formed the habit of licking your lips more often because of the flavor of your lip balm
2. Your lip balm may contain irritating ingredients that irritate your lips making you want to apply it more often
Ingredients to avoid: Camphor, Menthol, Peppermint, Castor oil, Fragrance, Propolis
My recommendations:
-Vaseline original
-CeraVe healing ointment
-Aquaphor (not their lip balm, but their regular ointment)
Finally, if that fails, consider switching your toothpaste! Many toothpastes contain ingredients that irritate the lips!
I’ve tried bunch of expensive lip balms but nothing beats vaseline.
YES!
Exactly!
My lips pretty much agree that DHC and Innisfree lip balm beats Vaseline.
THIS!!!!!!
Vaseline with cocoa butter is what I use. Every night I put a thick layer over my lips (I have perioral dermatitis aka face eczema) and it works better than anything else
I'm addicted to the beautiful tint that some lip balms give to my dead colorless lips
This!
Same.
sAmE
Yes!!
Vaseline has a rosy lips I guess “container” that gives you nice color too. Vaseline beats lip balm
(I sound like a bot lol)
It all started when my friend offered me an unused Carmex lip balm…
Frrr, i love my cherry carmex too much lol
Always does 😂
…and it all started when my friend offered me some cherry chapstick..
I have three carmex lipbalms one which my friend had given ( pineapple mint) two others my aunt gave me ( peach mango and strawberry)
@@crystalized6025 wait is pinspple mint and peach mango good? I've never even heard of them lol
Him: try Vaseline to avoid lip balm addiction
Me: **who's addicted to Vaseline**
👁👄👁
FRRR
SAME HAHAHAH I TAKE MY JAR EVERYWHEREEEEE
SAME OMG
IKR I CANT GET ENOUGH OF VASELINE
Ah yes. It is truely addicting
If you’re addicted to lip balm, find a lip balm with high UVA protection to be addicted to 😁
haha no that's genius
Yaaaas
Yes! Nivea has a great one with 30 SPF been using it for over a year and it's amazing!
Hi I’m Elizabeth and I’m a lip balm addict… its been a 25+ year/multiple applications daily habit. About 3 years ago I was going to Disney and needed a lip balm with spf and at the store my only option was Herpicin L and it has SPF 30. Not only did this help me not to get sun burnt, but it feels more like a hard lotion than a balm, and it has not only softened my lips when I use it, But… I have been able to significantly reduce my habit from multiple times a day to every so often or only when I go out! I was embarrassed buying it at first because I didn’t want people to think I got cold sores, but I quickly realized I don’t care what people think (nor should anyone else), and it is the best lip balm I’ve ever used.
I use Lanolips tinted lip balm with spf 30. Beauty and protection in one.
Fun facts: Vaseline doesn’t moisturise the lips, it locks in the existing moisture
Your generosity towards my infection is incomparable. You assured me of getting healed and surprisingly after 11days of taking the medication I was tested Negative. Thanks Dr OBALAR Herbal Cure I will keep letting the world know about your RUclips channel .
It's the worst tbh
ITS not get the rosy lips one and just make your lips moisturised then put vaseline on your lips won't get dry@@hitishawaghela5183
I disagree - it’s the only thing that makes the dead skin soft again until I find time to exfoliate it off 😅
Yeah agree if anything it works as lubricant as well as an occlusive that locks in moisture.
Yall vasline rosy lips tub is bomb I can’t live without it
It is wonderful
YASSS and try cocoa butter too 😍
Vaseline, the og lip balm!
Yes and they have a creme brulee flavor as well
@@HectorHernandez-mk2no woahhh were can I find them??
I purposely formed a lip balm addiction.
Mainly because before that I would rip the skin off my lips to the point of bleeding.
So now I constantly put on lip balm whenever I have that urge, as a sort of replacement or whatever.
I try to do the same but when i don't have it on i tend to rip the skin of my lips 🥲 i don't know why i can't stop doing it
I should try this too
Lack of B vitamins can help create dry lips, requiring lip balm usage.
@@Eri_blue06 Same but now I have stopped
All I know is I wet my lips all day untill my lips were soft as heck and I put lip balm
Same
I love to use aquaphor it’s just repairing and moisturizing leaving my lips so soft and smooth.
i use vaseline bc i have hella sensitive lips and pretty much every chapstick bUt this one makes my lips have a reaction
ARMY💜
I didn't expect u here im a subscriber
Ikr
doesn't vaseline 'harden' your lips? mine chap off the next moment
What reaction?-
I can never go on without lip balm because I have a habit of licking my lips when they're dry so I need something emollient on my lips to stop that.
You’re not alone, I can relate 100%!
relatable
I used to have that habit... But it eventually stopped after I started using lip balm coz I didn't wanted that lip balm to get into my stomach
Now I cannot stop this habit of applying lip balm... 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️😅😅
I have a habit of bite my lips and licking so can't live without lip balm
Same. And that’s how my lips start peeling
It’s just a habit, when you do something long enough you don’t even realize you’re doing it 😅 I use chapstick for dry lips and always have it with me.
Bye Felicia
I'm okay with my lip balm addiction 😂 I hate the feeling of my lips without it on.
I'm same
honestly i can’t stand the feeling of lip balm lmao i have to put it on before i go to bed only 🥲
Samer here! I want my lips protected
Me too. I can't remember when I wasn't addicted to my lip balm. I dont go anywhere without it and I hate when I dont have it on
And I'm mentally ill I'll go back to aggressively peeling my lips raw
I'm addicted to Vaseline!😂
haha try applying your moisturizer to the lips first and then apply vaseline over it!
@@Doctorly but why doctor? 😳😳
@@sadiaoyshi1576 you can sometimes form a habit of licking your lips too much!
@@Doctorly I like licking my lips even with vaseline because I get the feeling like my lips are dry :(
I use it to remove my eye makeup! It works better than anything else I’ve ever used and is more gentle.
As someone who have tried out many lip balms, I can confidently say that vaseline isn't the best kind. I mostly use clear lip balms, and most of them doesn't soak into the skin it just remains there waiting to be smeared dry upon lip's contact with something and thus provide no help for the chapped skin, it felt even worse if small hard dead skin pokes out from the lips. Not to mention, application just look bland and plain on the lips as it doesn't compliment the skin at all, most also darkens the skin like some deodorants does to Armpits. While vaseline is very affordable and might work good for moisturizing certain body parts, it doesn't work best for lips. So I settled for Tender care; although not tinted, it isn't greasy or liquid-ish, even the container is small and adorable but the most important is the product. Although containing no colour the one I'm using) it makes my lips soft and pink-ish proving it's magic in moisturizing, furthermore it doesn't have any sight effects and works wonders.
If you did 30 seconds of research you'd find out the main ingredient of tender care is petroleum jelly
Omg the little tubs of vaseline and cerave look so cute when you’re used to the big tubs 😂

Repent before it's too late.
lol i always struggle twisting the lids open
@@yeti6601 yaa I agree I think they’re talking abt the tiny tubs tho it looks like the basic one but like one inch wide
This guy : addicted to lip balm ?
The trick-or-treating bucket on top my closet literally filled with more than 50 different lip balms : 👁👄👁
😆
I always have at least 3 just because - one goes in my purse, one goes on my night stand, and one goes in my bathroom. I only have 4-5 at any given time and usually not opened at the same time. So this is wild 😆
Can I be you
i only have like 20, i think, so you win :D
@@winterfromwisthollow same
I’ve learned that Vaseline isn’t probably the best one to use. It makes your lips more cracky and you want to use more. It’ll just make your lips worser
That's what I think too
Carmax with spf 15 works well for me
It's literally called *petroleum* jelly so I don't think it's good at all...
It’s also tested on animals, which is a shame :/
Vaseline doesn't work for me .
Umm no scientific reason to back it but practically that is definitely not true . My family and friends we never use anything except Vaseline . It's so light and and after some time it just fades away while the lips still stay moisturized . While all the lip balms ( top brands ) I have tried always feel so dry . And after a few minutes they are wiped away and then it's back to the all moisture sucked vampire lips .
I don't know which Vaseline you use but the basic one is amazing .
Bert’s bee the original makes my chapped lips burn but then it feels better and almost instantly smoother. Over night they are healed. Love that stuff
Literally just put on mine cause I remembered 😭
as someone who uses Vaseline everyday, I can say I'm addicted to it.
Me too 😭
It’s a habit not an addiction. Would you ruin your entire life and finances and lose everyone you love to keep using Vaseline nevause without it you get so sick that you could easily die from dehydration or asphyxiation on your own vomit? Have you ever gotten so sick fron not having Vaseline for just one day that you shit yourself for 7 days straight? No???? Oh well I guess it’s not a fvcking addiction then
It just really dries up my lips 😢
Just so y’all know-
Lip balm from Burt’s Bees has no addicting or harmful chemicals in it so it is also a great choice if you have chapped lips!!!
It's my go-to lip balm 👍🏾
It’s my Grammies fav lol
@@flangekiwi yes it is really good! My dad works there so I know all about it.
what abt baby lips
It’s seriously the only thing that works for me. Plain old vaseline is nothing compared to Burts Bees for my lips
I think it's because I'm used to having moisturized lips, so I'm always reapplying it.
Yes, I don’t think I’m addicted to any ingredient in it. Two years ago I had accutane treatment, it dries your skin so much that I started to use lip balms regularly. Treatment ended but I didn’t stop the habit of putting it every 2-3 hours. Sometimes I wonder, did my lips permanently got dry after the medicine or I didn’t care about my lips being dry before x_x I think the second, because now everyone tells me if I did something done to my lips and that they look “juicier”. Nope, just moisturizing them :)
@@suk.489 omg, I had accutane years ago and my lips havnt recovered since if I dont exfoliate and put vaseline they get soo dry, but I guess rather that than have bad skin.
@@jamie5643 Maybe that’s what happened with me too, because I don’t remember having to put lip balms every couple of hours before the treatment
@@suk.489 omg I’m literally in the same boat! That’s why i watched this lol. Before accutane, I only put chapstick on occasionally in the winter and if I was bored and found it around the house. Now I literally keep it in my room, car, purse, and ALWAYS on me. I can’t stand to go longer than about 2 hours without. I’m not sure which it is for me. I wouldn’t know how to break it if i wanted to but at this point i don’t know if I wanna. My lips always look and feel good now at least

Bigtime lipbalm addict here. Pure shea butter is what I use now. Clean, cheap, and more effective than anything else I've ever tried. What do you guys think about it?
it's a great option!
Me too!! I just kissed my boyfriend good night and he merely said: “shea butter.” 😋
Try milk cream. It works like magic.
Just a layer of milk cream on the lips at night and in the morning, u have godly lips. It's just free.
Same . I made my own lip balm from Shea butter, beeswax and coconut oil.

Repent before it's too late.
i love the burn that peppermint lipbalms give
I used to be so addicted to lip balm to the point that I would involuntarily wake up in the middle of the night just to reach for my lipbalm and re-apply. Thank goodness that's not the case now.
I didn’t think i was addicted but I actually do that now sooo maybe lol
Wow thats actually insane
😂😂
Better than peeling my lips all off after waking up. Sry I rather be addicted to lip palm than being with increased mental illness
Idk why that's funny. And kind of relatable. I'd put some on before going to sleep and then wake up and find it had dried up a little so I'd put more on and go back to sleep. Love that stuff.
My lip is so sensitive that the only thing I can use without side effects is vaseline... 😭😭
Some people say using vaseline for lips makes them dark....is that true?
@@Meghaa_1311 I'm not sure because my lips already dark... But it's definitely doesn't help to lighten it since my lips is still dark... It's just help to moisture the lips.
@@Meghaa_1311 i've been using it for like a month already but it doesn't darken my lips but moisture my chapped lips! :)
@@Meghaa_1311 no it doesn't :)
@@Meghaa_1311 umm. Maybe. I use Vaseline after I've been outside for a while. After a few days of using it, my friend asked if I was wearing lipstick, and I said no, just vasaline.
Both products you mentioned are highly occlusive but don’t provide any actual moisture. I always end up using some body lotion on my lips and sealing with Vaseline.
As a chronic lip picker, I can say the Vaseline is one of the worst. It doesn't soak into the lip, it just sits there waiting to be disappear when you eat. It makes my lip drier if anything.
So yes, I have been picking my lips ever since I was ~7 years old and now I'm 22. It get worse when I'm stress. I pick my lips to the point that the bloods drips down to my neck. TBH I love the pain. It's something indescribable. I think it allows me to focus on the physical pain instead of my mental pain which is stress.
Back to the main topic. I just put a punch of pawpaw Lucas ointment on (by a punch, I mean a lot, like a thick layer of the ointment). So the urge to pick the lips somewhat go away.
But regardless, lip-picking is a habit that mainly triggers by stress so no lip balms can alleviate it.
I went through this but in a much lower intensity, and I really really hope your stress finds a way out of your body soon and you get to heal in every way possible love ❤
@@smriti3657 thx :)
I suffer with the same thing I started picking when I was four years old and now I’m 26 and I still pick to this day. The only thing that has helped me is anytime I’m about to put on a product on, I make sure my lips are wet with water. The products I use after I wet my lips are aquaphor or vanicream moisturizing cream. And at night I use lactic acid from the ordinary to exfoliate. It’s done my lips wonders.
I actually used subliminals and it healed within a day... Never came back again, even when I was stressed. I did feel like picking my lips sometimes but a lot of times there was nothing to pick, they completely healed. I don't know who this'll help, but do ask me for the link if you need it
@@sarahfreeman5703 aquaphor is the only thing that helps me
I used to use Burt’s Bees religiously, but the wax just made my lips feel even more dry than they were before I put on the lip balm, so now I’ve started using Aquaphor, and I don’t think I can ever use a different brand again at this point. Aquaphor is AMAZING
Same! Burts bees to aquaphor! I love their solid stick
I totally agree. But now I’m addicted to aquaphor for years 😭. At least it’s much better than the blistex I used to rely on
I agree that some lip balms will keep your lips more dry when you stop using them. So they are making you want to use it more.
I have used Vaseline for over a year to recover from the lip balm addiction I suffered from when I was a tween. It has done wonders on my super dry chapped lips! Love it!
Ooh I might try that. If I don't put any chapstick on in the day my lips get so cracked, and I really don't think the chapstick is helping other than for an hour or two.
Now I'm curious... I've always avoided vaseline because it comes from fossil fuels and may be unsafe. Can you dispel the misconceptions about the safety of such products. "A dermatologist is recommending petroleum products???" please explain, thanks guys! :)
You could use lanolin.
Dr. Dray has a great video on petroleum. It is absolutely safe. But I understand your environmental point.
It's completely safe and a excellent for skin and lips.
@@titiavandeneertwegh3170 Except lanolin is comedogenic. If you're prone to breakouts or have acne, probably not a good choice.
@@kelqueen9998 Since this was a comment on a lip balm video I reacted to the question only concerning the lanolin for lips. But I never knew lanolin could clog up pores. I don't have breakouts but my son does. Thank you for the info!
i wish dermatologists would talk more about the importance of using cruelty free items. :/
I’m just addicted to the cool tingly feeling carmex gives me. It’s also the only thing I found that helps my chapped lips lol
I love Carmex too!, not the cherry one though, tastes awful..but the original (in the jar! Not the colourless stick *dislike*) is way better than anything I have ever tried, as well as the lightly tinted ones (stick).
I’ve heard a lot of dermatologists say carmax is bad because it had ingredients that somehow make the lips dry and takes moisture
Lol I had the same thing with a lot of my old favorites, and found out I had an allergy to the base ingredient. 🤷 Bareminerals Lip Plumper lipgloss was intense lol.
Yeah i love camex too, my lips r really dry even on summer and camex saved my lips 😍
I’m the same way but I use it atleast 10x a day.
I put lipgloss on as a anxiety comfort. If no one knows what I mean I pretty much put it on when I feel discomfort or scared.
Same
Yes same 😮
Bet you go through it fast during extra stressful times,i know i have to get my cherry chapstick even faster when things are all f up which is often..😅😢
y’all please go invest in the vaseline lip therapy, it’s basically just vaseline but it’s pink and it works really well
I remember in primary school lip balm was like a drug among girls, they would sell it to each other and flex on anyone who asked what they're doing
I'm addicted to putting vaseline constantly on my lips, just feels so good
I use Aquaphor and it’s a life changer!!!! I don’t have to reapply all the time it’s so long lasting I put it on at night and my lips stay glossy in the morning 🤩‼️
Lanolin better 0 chemicals
@@letyourlightshine2727lanolin is an amazing thing ❤. It can be used for soooo many things. Me personally,I use it for sunburn. 👍. (And so much more!!!!)
I have extremely chapped lips and no lip balm would work until I started using Clinique super balm and it has completely changed the lip game for me! Highly recommend if you’ve got really sensitive skin/lips!
I am addicted to your channel 😃
ah best comment
“Are you addicted to lip balm?”
Me: *Yes. Yes I am.*
Vaseline doesn’t do enough for me. Overnight I typically put a face moisturizer on my lips, let it soak in for a minute then a thick layer of Vaseline. Vaseline doesn’t add moisture rather locks what moisture you have. I tend to lack moisture to begin with. That has worked like a charm and I just apply lip balms throughout the day here and there.
Bam & co lip balm cured my lips
Idk but I hate Vaseline on the lips. It feels like my skin just decides, naw she got Vaseline on now let’s just not send any moisture in that direction. My lips still feel dry, just with a heavy film on top now. I’ve had a lot of luck with humectants like hydrolaunic acid though, been loving the neutrogena hydro boost.
Bam & co lip balm cured my herpes
Agreed! Vaseline made my lips worse.
Totally! Vaseline doesn’t moisturise at all!
I use the Cosmica Sun Lips lipbalm with a rich scent of vanilla and with UV protaction and SPF 30. It's amazing!!❤
ok but literally when i stop using it for over a day my lips burn and i get a red ring around them 👁👄👁
there is NOTHING worse than the red ring
Me too
i recommend lip mask like sephora's laneige. helped out my lips a LOT. Felt so creamy and soothing, and by the morning time, it felt amazing
It could also be where you live. I live in Colorado, where the air is dry. People here have to constantly use something as a barrier on their skin or it dries out. It could just be dry air, and you lips probably need protection
You need more water.
Is it alarming if my lips peel off whenever I use lip balms, doctor?? It's why I quit actually, they peel and get wounded even if I only use Vaseline. 🤷🏻♀️ Now I just don't put anything on my lips anymore.
I'm using regular Bepanthen salve for lips and... everything, really. The one for infants and nursing mothers. Dry elbows, small scratches, calluses, dry lips, irritated lip corners, light sunburns. Cons: it's sticky and uncomfortable to use sometimes.
I’ve been told that I’m addicted to my lip balm. However, if I forget to have it on me, by 1/2 way through the day the top layer of my lips are so dry they are hard and I get cracked lips. My toddler never needed anything on his lips but now they crack also. He’s not as good as staying hydrated as I am but I drink a lot of water. I’m thinking it’s not just an addiction. 🤷🏽♀️
It’s not “an addiction”. For instance I live in Colorado where the air is super dry. Every day we need lotion and chapstick- most of us. So we apply for at more than say someone who lives in humid Georgia.
@@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis thx for correcting the people on here claiming to have an addiction
@@kazimirawolf No, no... it can be a addiction. I've been addicted to lip balm for probably over 8 years now. Its crazy, I have to re apply every 10 - 15 minutes everyday. If that's not an addiction, please tell me what it is then lol
I recommend the Nivea lip balms. The white one that has SPF 15 in it is my absolute favorite!
Yes! Same for me! I don't hear a lot of people talk about the white Nivea lip balm, but it is so good!
I put vaseline on my lips before bed and I wake up with nice soft lips. I use the vaseline with cocoa butter.
Honestly stopping using lip balm altogether was the best thing I ever did for my lips. I used to use it multiple times a day as my lips were always drying out. Turns out most lip balms do more harm then good so I threw away all of my lip balms and after about a week of super dry lips, they were finally healthy and normal. So to anyone else who struggles with really dry lips, please try stopping using all lip balms! You’ll have really awful and crusty lips for a week but they’ll be so much nicer afterwards 🥰
A tip if you’ve stopped using lip balm and your lips are really suffering: put a slice of cucumber over your lips. It’ll help soothe the dryness naturally.
i used to be superrrr addicted to burts bees and even tried to collect each flavor 😂😂 i only missed a few of the seasonal ones 😅
Is it bad?
Omg i used to apply these so often as a kid, also was mentally addicted to the coca-cola and bubblegum lip balms... oh man i miss those days, i used to like EAT them almost
@@jbkx6296 no this video just reminded me of those days 😂 the original has menthol in it but i always preferred the strawberry or coconut/pear anyways
@@kayliefunderburke8652 im using the Burts bees with honey flavor and I feel like my lips have been addicted to it, 1 hour without applying and my lips become very dry, skin peeling off.. That didn't happen when I was using labelo. I drink a lot of water so it shouldn't be an issue
@@jbkx6296 huh that is weird. have you checked the ingredients?
Carmex solid balms are ELITE and you will not convince me otherwise. They last through an entire night of sleep, stay glistening but not glossy, not sticky so hair doesn’t get stuck when it’s windy, and it’s thick enough to be protective but not so much so that it feels overbearing. PLUS THE FLAVORS ARE ACTUALLY GOOD. Vanilla cake batter is the best but extremely rare so idk where to get it anymore
I use aquaphor at night before bed. My lips are so soft.
Thank you Dr. Shah, for confirming what I felt was happening all my life. I hardly ever needed lip balm-but as soon as I applied some, I couldn’t stop and never knew whyyy 😭
Also personal experience, Vaseline in those lip balm packs like lipstick can make your lips very dry. I stick to my old Vaseline small tub and that's the best
In South Africa we have a GREAT product called, Lip Ice, simply the best! You never get addicted to it, it just heal dry lips!!
I used to use that back when I was a kid. Loved the stuff!
omg i loved lip ice
And then there's me who barely even applies lipbalm cause It brothers me a lot while I'm talking or eating food (idk why, but my lips feel heavy and weird, how do I even explain) 😀
Same , I can't even wear vaseline over a minuite
My mouth will feel greasy, and I cant talk without feeling weird , ...
@@proudally6662 maybe use vasaline as a night mask might be better option, or using laneige from sephora. their product helpd me a out a lot
If you think it feels weird- try putting it on for at-least a day so you lips get used to it! Then 2 days later try doing it again… by then you lips would be able to get used to the slippery/ moist feeling ( i used to have the same problem but with putting moisturiser and with lip balm e.g ) trust me you WILL get used to it and soon enough ( like in a weeks time ) you wont even feel anything!!! P.S when you eat or drink the lip balm will wear off but you can just reapply!
I used to feel that way too! Then I forced myself to regularly use lip balms and I felt my lips getting softer and plumper. Now I use them everyday.
For day Mixa Repair is cheaper, has good ingredients and applies so smoothly and beautifully on my lips. For the night, Propanthenol lip balm sealed with Vaseline "pink baby" or Vaseline with cocoa and shea butter. It costs 15 € per year.
Even with Vaseline, my dry lips get chapped WAY too quickly! I have to re-apply multiple times. (I have dry skin too, it dries out SO fast, especially my lips)
Maybe you should drink more water, heard it helps
Maybe you’re not drinking enough water during the day?
@@minervaveliz probably 🤔
@@noash9325 thanks!!! 😊
Vaseline has no hydrating properties. A dermatologist recommending it as a lip balm get an instant yikes from me tbh.
If you got eczema, you got no choice. Vaseline clogs the pores around lip. Yep, some people have that alongside eczema.
On both occasions when I was Accutane, my lips got severely burned. First time was because I used Vaseline at a hot and humid event. Second similar thing happened. Lip balm with SPF is MUST. Blisters on your lips are horrendous!
Had dry chapped lips for years! Then started using molton brown lip sos once a day and no more dryness! 👍😊
This just made me subconsciously reach for my Vaseline 😂 I get through a pot every month, I have a serious problem.
This is actually a big thing with flavored chapstick. The tasty flavor encourages you to lick your lips which can make them more chapped. They also contain alcohols that irritate and dry out the lips (just like you said). Then you use more chapstick.
Chapsticks that have no alcohols or delicious lickable flavors will help a lot. I used to have chapped lips A LOT back when i used a lot of chapstick. I stopped using chapstick (once i figured out their manipulative scam) and my lips stopped being chapped. I just used coconut oil or olive oil to keep them from cracking. Now i rarely need it. Crazy.
It's the same thing with cough drops. They contain sugars and alcohols that act as irritants to make you start coughing again and -shockingly- reach for another cough drop. Use Horehound candies instead. Works 1000x better and doesn't irritate your throat. You can go through a bag of Halls a week or a bag of Horehounds a year. I choose Horehound.
I've been addicted to lip balm since I was a teen ager. I cant leave the house without it. I have about 15 tins of Vaseline balm plus a few others scattered around my house and in my bags
I use burts bees- and I love it- “I only use it when needed-“
Thanks doc. Now I understand why some lipbalm brands can't do anything about my lips drying.
Vaseline just cakes over my lips, and when the vaseline is gone, it leaves more dead skin. I love blistex "soft and lush", it tastes and smells like a sweet coffee creamer 😝😋
I've heard chapstick addiction stems from replacing the normal moisturizing components your lips make naturally. Keep putting on chapstick, lips stop making natural moisturizers, then lips feel dry all the time and you end up using more chapstick....I've always thought that sounded legit😂
Well, it's getting cold here so I don't care. I'd rather not have bleeding lips.
Tested in a lab, aquaphor lib ointment/balm retained the most moisture and rated number one with Vaseline at number two.
Storytime: I hate lip balm, but this once happened to me. My mom went to Venice for work and when she got back, she brought us presents. I saw that she bought me a Coca cola lip balm. I tried it some days later and holy shit that actually tasted like Coke. Then, I realized that they also sell them here and in other flavours. I bought a Fanta one, a Sprite, a Coke one again and I only wore them for their taste. I would carry them everywhere.
I still like this kinda of lip balm and I can easily get addicted to it, it's just that every single one I bought expired now and I haven't gone and bought any new ones 😂
I just use face cream (one that is safe around the lips). Beats any lip balm or vaseline.
Finally someone who actually tells us to use CeraVe or Vaseline and not stuff that costs $15
Labello tinted ones are the bomb. I started using them last year and my lips almost didn’t chap at all this winter which used to be a huge problem.
I use Carmex lip balm and my lips became softer than ever. Plus I’m addicted to it because it’s peppermint flavored.
People recommended carmex to me I was so annoyed that the peppermint flavour wasn't clearly stated on the front of the box. Tried it felt pretty awful. The only lip balm I found that actually feels like it does its job is Eucerin lip balm. Everything else would have the same effect of a lip gloss.
My lips get dry in record time and I couldn't stand the texture of lip balms or Vaseline, until I bought a small can of organic shea butter...with very little they are nourished and protected, my lips have never been better.
Lip balm addiction is much better than skin or lip peeling addiction 🙄
Which stick lip balms would you recommend, especially ones that have SPF with no irritating ingredients?
Hawaiian Tropic makes one with SPF 45 that I love. I bought it when we went to the beach on vacation a few years back and now I buy it even if I'm not at the beach. It's hard to find come the fall so I usually buy a few extras around September. It's great to keep your lips moisturized in the winter too.
The vanicream lip spf is great
out of curiosity, what are irritating ingredients in SPF? like how necessary is that input
Lanolips tinted lip balm with spf 30.
@@69231 I haven't noticed any irritation or sensitivity with SPF in lip balms but my face is a whole other story. I have crazy sensitive skin and every single face product with SPF breaks me out. I just wear giant hats when I'm hanging out at the pool and whatnot. I have spent a small fortune trying to find one that doesn't break me out.
I love lip butters. Once you try them, you can never go back. It’s so moisturizing for the lips.
I love my blistex 5 star lip protection shit. Its broad spectrum spf 30, as well as keeps my lips from cracking and bleeding
My lips were extremely chapped until I started using only Vaseline or Aquaphor and they haven’t been chapped since 😭
the addiction is feeling how soft your lips are and never wanting to have them dry again. + vaseline is the only lip balm i use and will forever recommend it if you have super dry lips.
Absolutely not ! Vaseline is the worst . The reason I picked up an "addiction" was because of Vaseline . My lips got sooooo dry to the point that I would have to use it every 10 mins and it also darkened my lips so much . My lips are almost black now and I have no idea how to get my lip colour back 😖😖
I have stopped using Vaseline for a long time now and it has my lips have become a bit better but is still very dark
I’m addicted to losing my lip balms two days after buying them 🙄
I love how RUclips has a thing at the bottom that says “from a licensed doctor” helpful I like
watching this whilst applying my lip balm 😂😂
My mum is addicted to lip balm. She uses the pink nivea lip balm, she can't use anything other than that brand and that certain flavour. She can't stand using anything else. 🤣
I have that and that happened to me lol
I'm addicted to lip balm. My favorite is the cocoa butter lip balm by cococare. I've only seen it at beauty supply stores. If I run out, Vaseline is the way.
I didn't know this was an addiction 👁️👄👁️
*me looking at the Chapstick I got two days ago that I've already used a quarter of* : welp it got rid of my windburn so oh well
I was addicted to Vaseline. Eventually weaned myself off it and realised that my lips weren’t chapped/dry as much. The other game changer was wiping my lips after brushing my teeth. Toothpaste apparently has some ingredients that can chap lips!
I've been telling people for a year that Vaseline chapstick is just better than every chapstick ever😭
Just try pure shea butter.
succeeded on fighting my lip picking addiction with lipbalm addiction. first i tried the stick ones, only liking blue nivea because it doesnt leave that shell feeling on my lips. then i tried lip butter and oh how i love nivea vanilla macadamia lip butter. but because the only shop here that sell them took so long to restock it, i moved to vaseline and experienced the thing that i concerned the most on why i dont choose em since the start when its basically everyone’s favorite: the product gets under my nails because i need to scoop em. anyway, now im secure with pure paw paw ointment for daily use moisturizer and sebamed spf 30 for sun protection.
Your generosity towards my infection is incomparable. You assured me of getting healed and surprisingly after 11days of taking the medication I was tested Negative. Thanks Dr OBALAR Herbal Cure I will keep letting the world know about your RUclips channel .
Un día fuimos de vacaciones a un lugar desértico, nuestros labios ya sangraban por la resequedad , mi esposo sacó un vick vaporub que había empacado y lo aplicamos en los labios, el alivio fue inmediato y la resequedad se alivió al día siguiente puesto que su ingrediente de vehículo es la vaselina.
Not my lip balm having 3 of the 4 irritating ingredients ;-;
Is blistex or carmex good for ur lips? They make my lips less darker
I love carmex ... that’s the only one that actually works for me !!
Damn chapstick is my favourite... and especially the flavoured ones 😭
Ive used cherry Chapstick once or twice a day for over 20 years and Ive never had chapped lips
Chapstick is literally the only thing that doesn’t chap my lips 😭
@@gicell samee
Why do I feel like someone is going to clear out a chapstick bottle or any lip balm and put Vaseline inside of it
Vaseline already sells it’s only form of lip balm. Looks like regular chapstick but it’s just petroleum jely
