Use vaseline on your lips and anywhere else on your skin that is dry when it's cold like your face and hands. You don't really need anything fancy or special like the ones girls put on all the time unless you have eczema. There's small vaseline jars or tubes you can buy at Walgreens or Walmart. When your lips do get dry and chapped, DO NOT moisten it with your tongue's saliva. It might make it worst and may make your lips dryer which might cause it to bleed in cold weather. Use vaseline all the time to mosten your lips. The vaseline will also protect any bloody cuts you might have on your lips from infection.What is the best moisturizer for face and lips.?

vitamin E...Cold windy weather dries my face out very much...during winter months I use St. Ives vitamin E lotion which I recommend very highly.
Many beauty products on the market have harmful chemicals in them; do your favorite beauty products contain any of these things?:
* Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum – Petroleum products that coat the skin like plastic, clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins, which in turn accumulate and can lead to dermatologic issues. Slows cellular development, which can cause you to show earlier signs of aging. Suspected cause of cancer. Disruptive of hormonal activity. By the way, when there’s an oil spill in the ocean, don’t they rush to clean it up – fast? Why put that stuff on your skin?
* Parabens – Widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic industry (including moisturizers). An estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products contain parabens. Studies implicate their connection with cancer. They have hormone-disrupting qualities – mimicking estrogen – and interfere with the body’s endocrine system.
* Phenol carbolic acid– Found in many lotions and skin creams. Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma and even death from respiratory failure.
* Propylene glycol – Used as a moisturizer in cosmetics and as a carrier in fragrance oils. Shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation.
* Acrylamide– Found in many hand and face creams. Linked to mammary tumors in lab research.
* Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)– Found in car washes, engine degreasers, garage floor cleaners… and in over 90% of personal care products! SLS breaks down the skin’s moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to easily penetrate. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a “nitrosamine”, a potent class of carcinogen. It can also cause hair loss. SLES is sometimes disguised with the labeling “comes from coconut” or “coconut-derived
* Toluene – Poison! Danger! Harmful or fatal if swallowed! Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through the skin. Made from petroleum or coal tar, and found in most synthetic fragrances. Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage, and may affect a developing fetus. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) contains toluene. Other names may include benzoic and benzyl.
* Dioxane– Found in compounds known as PEG, Polysorbates, Laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Common in a wide range of personal care products. The compounds are usually contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane, easily absorbed through the skin.
Dioxane’s carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965 and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages and liver are the most vulnerable. Dioxane is easily removed during the manufacturing process by “vacuum stripping”.
Warning: It is a synthetic derivative of coconut. Watch for hidden language on labels, such as “comes from coconut”.
IF SO, you should throw them away IMMEDIATELY and substitute virgin/extra virgin olive oil or natural coconut oil in the meantime until you find a better alternative!!! Tell ALL your friends and family!!!
The best lip balm i've ever used is a lip balm made by ';Bloom.'; The Aromatherapy Lip Balm in Orange doesn't chap your lips or dry them like most chapsticks. I wear it every night before bed and my lips are always soft. It's not super girly or anything. Even my boyfriend likes it.
Coconut oil. Perfect solution. Grab a tub from any natural store.
For your face:
It's solid, but liquifies when warmed to body temp. Rub it in, then wipe off excess after 10 minutes or so. You want a nice matte finish, not a shine.
For your lips:
Stick some in a little container and keep with you. Put it on as needed.
No side effects - and if you want, you can even eat it and lower your cholesterol! Yes, scientifically proven..I can provide studies.
However, just use it on your skin and lips. It's perfect for after shaving also.
ADDED:
HELP! I have competition in complaints about the cosmetic industry. Good girl Penny!
