I absolutely love Burts Bees lip balm!


:thumb

Don't you love the way it smells and feels? One of the reasons I loved using Carmex was for the cooling effect it had on my lips. Well, when I tried Burt's Bees for the first time (it was on sale -- buy 1 get one free, so of course I bought 2 :lol ) I was amazed. My lips felt even cooler with Burt's Bees than with Carmex -- and that's sayin' somethin'! :lol: Plus I love the fact that all the ingredients are natural -- like coconut oil, peppermint oil, comfrey root extract and rosemary extract (to name half :wink ).

I've come close to buying it but it seems pricey. But if its that good....


Just wait for sales. :lol It does go on sale from time to time -- that's when I stock up. :wink The only thing I don't like is that, like Carmex, Burt's Bees contains no sunscreen. So when I'm out on the fishing pier for the whole day, I use something with SPF 15 or higher. But what I do like is that BB contains no warnings about applying it more than 3-4 times per day (look on the side of a stick of Chapstick and you'll see what I mean). I lose count of the number of times a day that I apply lip balm, so I don't want to use something with a warning not to apply it more than 3-4 times a day. :lol:

Wow, one of 4 who never buy the stuff.

I just fail to see the need for it, very seldom do my lips get chapped. And if they do, in a day or 2 they are back normal.

I suppose a lot of people spend a lot of time licking their lips and that causes their lips to get chapped and need chap stick.

Not so much licking as rubbing. A lot of folks (myself included, I'll admit) tend to rub their lips together a lot after applying the lip balm (whatever brand it might be). After a while it just ends up completely disappearing, so they have to reapply it.

...a fact which I'm sure makes the makers of lip balm very happy. :lol:

My lips are always peeling or dry... and then I end up picking at them and making them worse... I don't know what I'd do without chap stick. One time I was stranded by myself with one of my children in the Denver airport...so I got a hotel and the first thing I did (seeing as I had no luggage) was to check out the gift shop and buy an overpriced Chap Stick. I didn't have clean clothes and the food places were closed but hey I had a Chap Stick. (That was a bad night.)
