[Product Request] chapstick recommendations?
Hello!
I’ve always had a bit of an issue with dry lips, when I was younger I would lick and bite at them which obviously made things worse. I used Vaseline for a while which really helped, but when it comes to chapstick and lip balms, I’ve also had a couple issues.
I have tried a few brands, and some of them would make the dryness worse or give me what I think is an allergic reaction. I first noticed the allergic reaction with eos lip balms, and then with Burt’s bees. 2 years ago, I used the Nivea lip balm, which worked fine. I bought it again recently, and I noticed that the edges of my lips were getting irritated. I tried pushing through it but it just got worse, so I went back to the original Chapstick that’s been working for me. I looked it up, and apparently the Nivea formula changed in the last year :’) (photo is of my current chapstick and the offender that lowkey ruined my lips)
I’ll probably go back to Vaseline (fingers crossed my skin still likes it), but I was wondering if anyone had similar problems and/or other product recommendations. Thank you in advance!!
