Q: What lip care products are really good for my lips? Most are addictive and make the problem worse!

I've had a terrible habit for years, I pick my lips whenever I'm stressed or nervous. I've tried every lip balm you can imagine to provide relief and they all seem to make my lips even more chapped and uncomfortable. I need something that will repair them, not make them so uncomfortable that I pick them more!

 

Help me find a solution to picking at my lips and a product to heal them.

 

Thank you,

Shannon

Burt's Bees is a very natural and forgiving emollient

Just a bit of plain vaseline goes a long way and i don't think you'll find it addictive.
