Lip balm for men

Also does anyone like those little tins or short cylinders? I don't get it. You have to use your finger, then your finger is greasy.

(And, finally, try to be adults here.)

Sun Bum goes on really smoothly, not waxy like some. With or without SPF. Just try to avoid some of the sillier flavors. The coconut, mint, and aloe are fine.

I used Kiehls (in the little tub) for 20 years. Then they discontinued the tub and claim the formula in the tube is the same, but it is not. It is far too liquidy. For the last few years I have been using classic Blistex. I have them all over my apartment: my office, my night stand, my dressing room (yes, I have a dressing room), and in the drawer near my entry table where I keep my "before I leave the house" stuff in, meaning wallet, keys, hand sanitizer, etc.

A dressing room dressing room?

Trader Joe’s

Burt’s vanilla or Burt’s pear.

Cortibalm - it has hydrocortisone in it

Crisco

Lip Medix. It's from Blistex. In the blue tub.

I don't understand the little tubs

The product is softer, spreads easier. Wouldn't work in a stick.

Chapstick is addictive. And it really doesn’t help as much as the types that moisturize. I also use Blistex Lid Medex in the blue tubs. Great stuff.

But r11 whatever do you do with your greasy fingertip?

I rub it into my lips until it's not greasy anymore.

Aquaphor

and R14 hopefully clean your fingers BEFORE you rub it on your lips. The tube is more convenient and portable

Burt's Bees Pomagranate Applies easily

Neutrogena Norwegian Lip Balm is the best I've used but I can't find it in stores anymore.

Well I'm not a daily user. I only need it when my lips are dry, and the analgesic in Lip Medix feels so good I don't care what it comes in.

Burt's Pomegranate is my go-to since Walgreens discontinued its version of EOS that imo was FAR superior to EOS.

Henne is great too, but OP doesn't like the lil' pots.

Carmex in the little pot. (Jesus, you wipe any left over on your fingertip on your jeans or a towel or a kleenex, princess.)

Dr. Bronner's Naked (Unscented) Lip Balm.

Ingredients:

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil,* Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oi,* Cera Alba (Beeswax),* Cannabis Sativa (Hemp) Seed Oil,* Tocopherol *Certified Organic Ingredients

Available at a Target near you. Or iherb.com, vitacost.com, Amazon.

I use O'Keefe's Lip Repair first, followed by a swipe with one of the big Palmer's cocoa butter stick. My lips stay pillow soft all the time. 😗

I like Mustela lip and cheek balm for babies. It's in a mini-deodorant type container that pushes up the product when needed. No pots, no mineral oil. Also like Kiehls Buttermask overnight.

O'Keefe's made my lips dry, like EOS does. Weird.

I adore Fabulips by Bliss...and not just for the name!

I’ve tried them all, and my favorite by far is Lip Trip from Mountain Ocean. It has a lot of beeswax in it (a lot more than Burt’s), so it stays on. You don’t have to use much or reapply often. It has zero shine and the merest scent.

It’s usually only carried in health food stores and it’s hard to find, though.

^^^ I know the title of this thread is "Lip balm for men," but I have been assured by gender expert Lia Thomas that lip balms are for, in their words, "any sex, or no sex at all."

In other news, "No Sex At All" is the title of Lia's upcoming autobiography!

R26 I'm gonna try Lip Trip. Amazon has it

MAC Lip Conditioner. My lips are soft and supple.

Do you gurls have cute little clutch purses in which to carry your various emollients?

Aveda Lip Saver is my go-to. Have been using it daily for nearly 20 years. I used to use the same Kiehl's lip balm in the little tubs that R3 mentioned, but once I tried Aveda for the first time I preferred it and it's much easier to carry in my pocket (I never carried around the Kiehl's tubs).

I also like Blistex Herbal Answer as a less expensive option, but it started to become harder to find a while back so I think it's been discontinued.

LMAO,

I can see the tube of Jack Black lip balm on my counter as I type this. It's been my go-to for more than 10 years.

Blistex, Carmex, Chapstick, Eos and all the other cheap drugstore lip balms dry my lips out.

R27 is a conservative bot. Ignore.

I like a lightly tinted Burt's, forget the color. I have colorless lips.

I don't want color or flavor, just something neutral to prevent drying and chapping.

Lip balm or plain old Vaseline in a little tube is also great for the nostrils when I have a cold with runny nose. Constant nose blowing can make the nostrils raw and sore, even with the softer lotion infused tissues -- I try to remember to apply lip balm to the nostrils after I blow every time and it really helps to prevent that sunburned feeling.

I used to be addicted to chapstick in the mid-90s, I wore it around my neck on a string. The more you use it, the more you need it, your lips stop producing any moisture. I had to quit cold turkey & it was rough (literally). Now I only use it from time to time.

La Roche Posay Nutritik lips. It's the best I've ever tried.

Vaseline Lip Therapy .. lasts forever.

My favorite is Malin Goetz Lip Balm. I’ve tried them all and this is the best I’ve found.

Blistex Lip Conditioner and Eve Lom Kiss Mix. The Eve Lom is the only thing that kept my lips soft and coated overnight when I took RoAcccutane.

I haven't found anything that works better than Blistex, any kind.

Desert Essence Lip Rescue with Shea Butter.

Wonderful and not too expensive.

I started using it after an awful reaction to Burt's Bees product.

Desert Essence website:

You people are so lazy. What is wrong with you?

We make our own balms from the beeswax in our hives and herbs from our garden. Just like everyone should.

You all deserved the canker sores and squamous-cell skin cancer that will eat your lips off for using commercial products. ALL your lips.

WETH Suzy Chapstick? Why didn't she have a better career? Why did Hollywood reject her?

Blistex Silk & Shine

Blistex in the blue tin. First got it at the Parker Palm Springs. Been using it since and don't plan on changing.

Burts bees is the best. Anything else just feels greasy to me.

I have loved the dark green medicated Blistex since childhood and I have like 4 tubes of it all over my house. If I were stranded on a desert island, this would be one of the must have items. I think my lips are addicted to it.

after several years of breaking out because of lip balm, I tried Burt's Bees milk and almond hand cream in desperation. It is expensive, but it lasts an entire year, and it's far and away better than any balm I ever used. I only need to use it once a day.

R47 YES.

Blistex Silk and Shine is the one I keep coming back to over and over.

It’s getting hard to find, so I get the 4-pack from Amazon.

I hardly ever need lip balm. What is wrong with you hoes?

R53 It's pretty much a necessity if you live in a dry, or especially in a cold and dry climate.

Deep lip cracks are painful as well as unsightly.

One of the acccutane skin boards I read recommended recommended pure refined lanolin, which is sold as chaffing ointment for nursing women. Yes, it's titty lotion. Because accutane will make your lips dry like nothing on this Earth.

Refined lanolin is similar to human sebum. It's a bit sticky and messy, it comes in a tube unfragranced. It has no glamor appeal like expensive balms, but one application lasts all day, and keeps lips supple no matter what the conditions. I love this stuff and will always keep a tube tucked away.

Middle class queens who sport lip balm outside of an alpine climate are the ultimate creepy hilarity.

Jack Black is great.

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. Apply at bedtime.

[quote] The more you use it, the more you need it, your lips stop producing any moisture.

r37 I've vaguely heard that before, but is it really true?

Yu-Be Lip balm Moisturizing skin cream is also magic

And yet Carmex and good ol' ChapStik are winnng the poll

Two DL favorites doing the Chapstick challenge.

Carmex GIVES me chapped lips! Ugh!

I threw that shit away pronto!

Try Laniege lip mask. Very moisturizing and lasts a long time - you just need a little bit.

Marketed to fraus but who cares. It works.

I'm addicted to Burt's original, nothing else works as well for me.

Carmex is the best and smells wonderful. I also used it on the occasional cold sore.

I third the love for Jack Black. They have interesting flavors and scents, too.

Hmm, I may have to try Jack Black. Carmex smells great but tastes awful.

^You're not supposed to eat it!

After trying a ton, this is the only lip balm I use now.

R68 LOL! I realize that but I can't help tasting it on my beautiful lips!

I like the Open Nature beeswax lip balm sold at Safeway. Two pack for $1.99, sometimes on sale 10 for $10, but not must buy 10, so you can get a two pack for $1. I used to like the Walgreens brand ChapStick knockoff, but they don't sell it anymore. Top Care beeswax lip balm at Weis is good but hard to find. Also, the Lidl beeswax balm is good and about 69 cents, I think, although it smells funny.

[quote]I hardly ever need lip balm. What is wrong with you hoes?

I'm with these two. Reading about all these "addictions' to lip balm makes me wonder what the fuck is wrong with you (non-alpine) people, or with me for having lips that are just fine without frequently repeated slatherings on of emollients.

Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers!

[quote] Reading about all these "addictions' to lip balm makes me wonder what the fuck is wrong with you (non-alpine) people, or with me for having lips that are just fine without frequently repeated slatherings on of emollients.

If you live in a dry climate (I do) and you do a lot of outdoor activities like hiking, biking, kayaking, skiing, etc (I do), your lips will get dry/cracked from repeated sun exposure and/or wind chafing. Lip balms are necessary and not an addiction for me.

Some of us would prefer not to end up looking like Helen Hunt.

r53 I have black man lips so good lip balm is a MUST

I like Beeswork lip balm. Also Kiehl’s Butterstick. I agree with the posters who don’t like sticking their fingers into pots. Especially in COVID times.

Which Kiehl’s formula do you hate op??

The mens facial fuel lip balm is a no shine stick. Not smeary.

Kiehl’s baby lip balm stick

Kiehl’s lip balm #1 is more smeary but I only use it at nighttime

L’Occitane ultra rich lip balm is great!!!

Laroche Posay nutritic lips is great

Clinique moisture surge lips is good. It is smeary do use at nighttime

Caswell Massey Natural Therapy lip balm w/ vitamin e

I started using Jack Black (mint) 19 winters ago. Yes, 19: I distinctly remember the month I first hooked up with the fuckbuddy who introduced me to it. Still using the lip balm, but had to let go of the fb after two years. Sigh.

I bet ur ass is still using the same damned tube of lip balm too, r78
