It seems like every winter, my lips suddenly become intolerably dry and I have to use lip balm. The condition lasts for a couple of weeks, then I’m good until the end of the winter. I was going to so say it happens in January every year, but when I looked at old Bradaptation posts, it seems to have varied, including November, December, and January. Interesting. I wonder if it’s somehow tied to the time I switch on my boiler. If it weren’t already past time for me to leave for school, I might investigate.
Anyway, I have my usual Blistex Complete Moisture, which tastes like lemons, but I also have a tube that Lauren gave me. It’s called Remedy, and it tastes orangey. Mmm… Plus, it has no petrolatum. What? How do they even do that?
That Remedy stuff is fantastic! My mom gave me some a couple of years ago and I’ve ordered several on Amazon. It makes me curse my lip-balm-losing self.
We are dealing with dryness at school, too, and I’ve broken out the lotion bar-making stuff. Gotta hydrate everyone and seal in that moisture. 😉
Medline/Remedy also makes an amazing lotion…both of those products are hospital grade and fantastic. Highly recommend. This is the one I buy:

I think that’s the highest rated product I’ve ever seen on Amazon.
It is amazing. I bought some (from the hospital gift shop where my mom volunteers) for our toddler teachers. Great stuff.
My pharmacist dad introduced me to it a few years ago. When I visited someone in the hospital and saw 7 big jugs of it on one floor, I knew it must be good.
I have “Chap Ice” by my chair and use it nightly……..smells like something from my childhood I think?
