I came across a great little solution for seriously chapped lips not long ago. I'm a mother of two and as I'm breastfeeding my youngest I often use a product for sore nipples with Lanolin (sorry TMI). What I didn't know was that Lanolin is great for SO many other things as well including treating really sore lips due to sunburns or winter chills. I used to use petroleum jelly but found that it would only protect my lips and not add new moisture to them, so if they were already cracked it would do me no good. However with Lanolin it protects and adds new moisture and its so in-expensive. A whole tube will last you years as you only use a tini tiny amount each time of the sticky gooe.
So I did a little research and it turns out that lanolin is in a whole bunch of stuff including medical products to bring the active ingredient further into the skin, how neat. You can read about all the amazing benefits of lanolin right here and if your not sure where to buy this stuff then stop by your local pharmacy in the baby isle and look for "nippe" care;) or visit the wonderful website of well.ca who sells great products and offer FREE shipping with no minimum purchase... I just love Well.ca but that's a whole other blog post in it self.
