Healthy Tip for Dry Lips

Hi dear friends,

My lips are so dry and I hate to use all the chemicals found in lip balms!" you say? Well, I live in the high desert of northern NV and can really relate to non-existant humidity and dry (cracked, bleeding, painful) lips! When we moved here I thought I would go crazy the first year or two and can't tell you how much lip balm I went through.

Then I read several articles about how lib balm, when used excessively, can become "addictive" in that your lips become dependant upon it. They expect to be "fed" the moisturizer they need through the balm and basically shut down their own moisture production, actually making you need outside moisturizer more and more and more.

Hey! High desert Northern Nevada here too!
I totally know what you mean. But I have found that Burts Bees, Blue Q, and normal old Chapstick is non addictive.
Blue Q being the best, in my opinion
