As mentioned in my earlier post, it is better to use lip protection and prevent chapped or dry lips than cure it, especially during the dry winter season. I have been using this once/twice a day this winter season and it has been pretty effective in preventing dry lips.
What is it?
Blistex regular balm seals in moisture, soothes and prevent dry lips. It also contains SPF 15.
How much is it?
I bought mine as a set of 6 Blistex sticks from Costco for C$8. Blistex sticks are usually between C$3-C$5.
Where to get it?
All leading grocery and drug stores.
How to use?
Just apply on the lips liberally.
My experience
It is a lip balm with a mild SPF, great for the winter season. I like the Blistex designed compared to many other lip balm because the stick is smaller than the usual Nivea Lip balm. The problem with the thicker lip balm is that it tends to melt eventually. It ends up pretty messy especially when the stick breaks off half way. The thinner stick design makes application easier and less messy.
I like the Blistex regular balm. The lip balm is not better than regular lip balm though the light SPF portion provides an edge during the winter season. Its thinner stick design is its main selling point compared to lip balms using other design. As I mentioned in my last post, regular applicaiton of lip balm during the winter season is effective in preventing chapped or dry lips. That is a lot more effective than trying to find a solution once lips have chapped.
