Perfect kissable lips

tardington

Just recently the early morning cold has been knackering my lips. :oops: So I got, not chapstick, but special UV blocking, good to -20, out-door, swedish, tough, manly lip-balm stuff. I went to Tiso and everything! My gf still laughs at me though.

Does anyone else use it? Blokes, I mean!

Chapsticks make your lips dry.

Why would they sell something that worked?

Swedish lip balm rocks.

I apply before I set off in the morning and in the evening. Religiously.

Tough and manly? No definately not but essential for bad lips none the less 8)

The only personal care product a man requires is soap. Unscented.

A dab of Vaseline, if you must...

Where exactly? Are you sure you are on the right forum?

I was in a chemist once and a lady approched me and asked if I'd like to try some moisturiser for men.

I just said "Men don't use moisturiser".

No need to be so afraid of your feminine side, boys.

A man with flaky, scaly skin and rough, cracked lips, not attractive.

A man with smooth, hydrated skin and smooth lips, much better.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man who takes care of himself, however he shouldnt' need to spend more than 15 minutes in the bathroom/in front of a mirror.

Little correction :P

As I said "never confused"

use Vaseline which works for me any way

prawny

I use vaseline before I go to bed(!)

It stops me having a shiney(shiny?) mouth when people can see me, I like to keep up my macho fascade! 8)

DonDaddyD

I use my tongue to lick my lips. That is all.

Yeah, bed time :shock:

Licking lips works until you get to that nasty winter cycle (worst on cold, dry days) where you lick, it evaporates off, leaves you dry and cracked, you lick, it evaporates... Like freeze-thaw. OW! A little bit of lip-balm is perfect then.

And it's a bit of a myth that using it makes your lips drier - there are no pores on your lips to dry up in the first place...

Mmm, kissing. Seeing the bloke tonight for the first time since Sunday, he won't know what's hit him!

I think Sarajoy has a point there; nothing beats a good snog to keep the lips supple and moist. Preferably with someone of the same genus and species :shock:

That's a very speciesist attitude :twisted:

Slightly impractical at the traffic lights though. And people might take offence. Best stick with vaseline IMHO

I do think that the more lip balm you use the more it makes you need to use lip balm.

People who never use lip balm are fine. People who always use lip balm are fine. The only ones with dodgy lips are people who normally use lip balm but forgot today.

prawny

I never used to use anything until I worked outside for a winter and by mid december I looked like a clown!

I don't vas up every night just when I get the tingle - that sounds really bad :oops:

That's just rubbish though isn't it? If I have dry lips I put some on thus they're not dry any more and they don't get worse.

Vaseline smells weird

You may need crab killer..... If not certainly visit the doctor, he'll be able to give you a special cream...

I haven't done a double-blind scientific study but the basic point is that yes, putting lip balm on works in the immediate term but then you'll find your lips get cracked more easily after you start using it (on the days when you forget to use it).

I don't use it at all and my lips don't crack.

Nah it's fine I just borrow the cats flea comb and chuck the little critters on the fire.

Kind of on the subject of docs i'm on some meds at the mo and one of the side effects is pruritis ani - itching of the skin around the anus - fantastic! Carte blanche to scratch in public, sorry love its a medical condition

Despite the fact that it is called a chapstick, it is wrong, and in your heart-of-hearts you know it is, those of you out there putting balm, vaz and the rest of it on your lips. What's wrong with lager?
