    Nivea lip balm, aqua blue one - for damaged lips works a treat for me.

    paw pas tube or blistex works for me. It does take a few days. At night I would put heaps on and all around the outside edge of the lip as well. Let it have a good soaking over night so to speak!

    Also try and drink as much water as you can so you can be rehydrating from the inside as well

    None of those products ever work for me, so I use bepanthen. It also helps to heal cracked and bleeding lips, which blistex won't do. It does make them a little oily so don't use too much at once.

    I haven't tried the MooGoo one but I would give it a go if Bepanthen ever stops working.

    I'm trying the "red" pawpaw ointment, and so far so good, although its still early days.

    Can someone enlighten me on the evils of the fact its petrolium based? (or do I not want to know?!)

    Im ot sure about the evils of petroleum based but you cant use the red one with cloth nappies LOL
    They sell the black one at our local priceline, which is better apparently

    Carmex is absolutely brilliant. Not oly does it work on dry, cracked lips it is also great for cold sores.
