	Boots Wonderbalm in the Mediterranean range. It contains olive oil and sage and rosemary. Even if it doesn't work, it helps you build an appetite for a Sunday roast! Nah, it doesn't smell but it's brilliant on the lips, as well as all the sore bits you can get: my hands get very dry and the skin cracks sometimes and that Wonderbalm is the only thing that works.... and it doesn't sting! Good luck Soon to be baby-soft lips!

	This advice is given in the most masculine way possible!! But the best is called Carmex. It comes in a little yellow pot, and you get it from places like Boots or Superdrug. The fact it comes in a little pot that you have to stick your finger in and then wipe it on your lips makes it loads less embarassing to use than a lipstick style one. Edited by Strawberry

	that carmex one is great! and its all crazy and tingly too! but... cant beat nivea repair and protection lipbalm, and it comes with a really nice colour top too...maybe a little girly tho, but that doesnt bother me and i would say its the best i have tried sooo...

	won't get better than petroleum jelly! it has other uses as well............like sore lips when skiing. And comes is small useful tubs which can esily slip into a pocket on a bouyancy aid. Will also soften the hard skin on your feet - in fact I think it will almost soften anything!

	Vaseline is my favourite. It comes in little flat round pots that fit into pockets. There are several different 'flavours' but frankly, the plain one is fine. Who needs menthol? Yuk!

	I'm sorry but I'm sure BWD has a slant on this one...... It's only a matter of time.
