Lip balm for winter rides?

    After over 125 miles this past weekend, my lips are chapped to hell and a little painful.

    I do sometimes suffer from dry lips, and the weather makes it worse. I carry a tube of Carmex in one of my pockets – it was good over the summer, but isn’t coping well with this weather – I think it’s too thin and doesn’t last.

    Any recommendations please?

    (Believe it or not, in previous years I’ve used cheap lip gloss and can’t recall having this problem.)

    Apparently, it can dry your lips out even more. So the more you use, the drier your lips get, the more you use, and so on…

    Vaseline lip balm works well

    Vaseline lip balm works well for me.

    Burt’s Bees is OK, but the peppermint can be a bit much around my nose

    Neutrogena, Norwegian formula

    Neutrogena, Norwegian formula.  Not fancy, just works.  Lasts for ages.

    Just checked the ingredients

    Just checked the ingredients and Carmex does have petrolatum – thought I’d picked one up without. Doh.

    Badger lip balm.

    Badger lip balm.

    I would recommend against using any standard petroleum based ones or vaseline. Yuck!
