do chap sticks chap lips?

Question

whenever my lips get chapped, and no matter what brand of chap stick i use, my lips get even more dry. I've heard that chap sticks dont really relieve your lips at all, because after it's gone from the lips, your lips get worse and more cracky. then why do people sell them? and say they work? and why use them? is it because it relieves people to know that something is covering their lips?

I'm addicted to ChapStick (in a good way!) I use it all the time just because if my lips aren't slick it drives me crazy. Just try the regular black tube of chapstick. Slather it on before you go to bed and you should be good to go! I have heard that Carmex contains tiny pieces of fiberglass that actually irritates your lips when it starts to wear off which makes you want to put more on to soothe your irritated lips but I don't know if that has any truth to it. But I'm not a fan of carmex anyways

STEPS: 1. Dip a toothbrush in some unsalted magarine or just some warm water and rub it over your lips. Don't be too rough. This should get rid of any dead skin on your lips. 2. Next, grab a clean towel. Wet the corner of it with warm water-just a little bit. Rub the wet corner of the towel over your lips in one direction. Hold the towel there for about 20-30 seconds. 3. Your lips should be much better now-but just in case, rub on some unsalted magarine or moisturiser. Repeat this each night. THINGS NEEDED: 1. Unsalted magarine/moisturiser 2. Hot-warm water 3. Clean towel 4. Clean toothbrush

ive noticed that if your lips get REALLY chapped like to the point they bleed, which mine do the chap stick does help but yes it does chap your lips but my chap stick that i use will releive my lips until it wears off and my friend has medicated chap stick that works wonders, personally i find the medicated blistex works the best, idk y other people make chap stick tho it really is a waste too.

i don't really think they chap your lips more or make them worse but they just don't make it better. to help chap lips you need lip stuff that made for that or vaseline that works...

Do not use a waxy chapstick.  Find one that is liquid with a roller ball or one of the one that you have to squeeze the tube.
