Does anybody have a cheaper alternative to chap stick or know to make a home remedy to sooth chapped or windburned lips? I don't plan on buying a whole load of Lip Smackers, too costly.
You can often get the walgreens brand 2/1.00. Even at 99cents, they last forever and ever. However, best I have ever found is to buy the Carmex. I buy the little pot and keep it in my front pants pocket during the winter. It is nice and melty warm from body heat and spreads easily.
I googled! Make your own natural Lip Balm Is this recipe any good? Seems ok, not something I've made yet.
Green Girl, YOU ROCK! I use little tins all the time for getting stuff organized, and I have a REAL hard time locating them! All kinds of little gun parts, transmission parts, ect. I need to keep separated! I won't go anywhere without Chap-Stick in my pocket or gear! I don't know about the 'Self Made' stuff, but brand name 'Chap-Stick' works for a bunch of different things! Got adhesive goo or tape residue stuck to something, Smear a little Chap-Stick on it and let it set, when you wipe off the Chap-Stick, the 'goo' goes with it. That includes pine pitch and pine sap! Takes it right off! Insect bites that itch like crazy? You guessed it, Chap-Stick will make you life much more tolerable! Scrapes, minor cuts, ect. you don't want infected, Chap-Stick has worked for me for over 40 years. Anyway, just one of those 'Old Fart' things you find out along the way!
Wow. That is a neat site. Gives me ideas for Christmas and other gifts. If only I had time to do stuff like this.
