My lips have been horrendously dry this
winter, I've tried a multitude of products from the very cheap to extortionately priced.
Then the postman brought me the answer, this lip balm from Dr Lipp.
Originally designed as a balm for the nipples for new mothers to use to soothe
their nipples after breast-feeding,
Very rich in texture it gives a moisturised,
colourless sheen to the lips.
It sits on the lips for a few
minutes until it sinks in and does feel a little tacky.
It is made from medical
grade lanolin.
Lanolin comes from excreted sheep sebum and is found in their wool.
Lanolin comes from excreted sheep sebum and is found in their wool.
Lanolin always gets mixed reviews but
love it or hate it, these days it is considered by dermatologists to be one of the safest
products to use on your skin.
Lanolin has so many similarities to the lipids
in our own skin that our bodies absorb it easily.
You can see from the picture this is not a soft creamy balm but a thick solid formula.
Safe enough to use on other areas of
the body including dry elbows, cuticles, flaky skin patches and of course sore
nipples!
A handy little staple to keep in each of my handbags.
Priced at £11.00

I've had this product for a couple of years now, and I think it's both great and not so great. I live in Norway, and it gets seriously cold here, so in wintertime my lips turn so dry that it feels like they're about to fall off my face. This product is good to have, but I find it somtimes to counteract its purpose - it is so thick that it somtimes dehydrates my lips instead of hydrating them - no matter amount I put on. And it sucks as a nipple cream! I would't recommend it for that use. But I find it good to have in my beauty supply.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Dr Lipp - for me it is the only lip salve which works in the depth of winter! It isn't something I can use all year round but it is a must have in the winter.
