the Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm has cuter packaging and natural ingredients, but Carmex has a better price, and targets more concerns (arguably more effectively). Although they are remarkably similar, if forced to choose between the two, we choose the Carmex Classic Lip Balm.
Yes, it can be. The Carmex Classic stick not only protects and helps heal chapped lips caused by exposure to the sun. It contains sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15. This means that the skin of the lips when covered in Carmex, takes 15 more times to burn than when exposed to the sun.
Besides the camphor and menthol, Carmex also includes several other ingredients that can cause sensitivity. The irritation creates a never-ending cycle of Carmex addiction. Dr. Bowe says, “Carmex has many irritating ingredients that can cause inflammation in the lip area in people with sensitive lips.
While customers were also drawn to the original Burt's Bees lip balm that took our best-rated spot, this lip balm stood out to customers who needed a little extra help with their chapped lips. Customers say the ultra-conditioning version of the classic formula keeps their lips hydrated for a long time.
They both are great although I do think Burt's Bees is a lot more moisturizing. I don't have to reapply multiple times during the day. Chapstick though, I do have to apply a lot; which can get pretty annoying. Burt's bees is definitely more moisturizing, and they have better flavors too.
Does Carmex work better than chapstick? Carmex provides great moisturizing, is medicated, and helps heal chapped lips whereas Chapstick is great at moisturizing but does not have the medicated label. Carmex does make your lips tingle after use and Chapstick definitely does not.
Both brands permit tons of options ranging in packaging, container size, flavor, shine, and color. I think Carmex tackles heavy duty lip problems, such as cold sores and flakes, better while Blistex offers you a wider variety of products that cater to a specific purpose.
While the formulation of this product does contain moisturizing ingredients, it also contains ingredients that are known to potentially trigger allergic contact dermatitis of the lips, including flavors and lanolin. This is why I don't recommend this product for those with dry, chapped lips.
Thanks to eagle-eyed user @lilyvesta, we know pretty much every lip balm the “Still With You” singer has been spotted using during paparazzi pics and behind the scene clips. Her favorite? Bobbi Brown's Extra Lip Tint in Bare Pink. While Bobbi Brown's is the most expensive out of the bunch, we have good news.
Signs of an allergic reaction, like rash; hives; itching; red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin with or without fever; wheezing; tightness in the chest or throat; trouble breathing, swallowing, or talking; unusual hoarseness; or swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat.
No whale sperm, nor any whale product, is used in lip balm.
In the past, and to a small extent still today, ambergris, a waxy substance found in the intestines of sperm whales, was and is used in the production of certain perfumes. although, Is it bad to put Vaseline on your lips?
Topical (for the skin) emollients are used to treat or prevent dry skin. Carmex are sometimes contained in products that also treat acne, chapped lips, diaper rash, cold sores, or other minor skin irritation.
Apply a non-irritating lip balm (or lip moisturizer) several times a day and before bed. If your lips are very dry and cracked, try a thick ointment, such as white petroleum jelly. Ointment seals in water longer than waxes or oils. Slather on a non-irritating lip balm with SPF 30 or higher before going outdoors.
Does Carmex dry out my lips? We're happy to report that Carmex lip balms do not dry out lips. In fact, when used according to directions, lips feel more hydrated and comfortable alleviating the need for constant reapplication. Carmex lip balm products contain only the highest quality ingredients.
In many ways, it is the antithesis of sexual appeal. But it's also the only thing that really works for my lips. It contains menthol, camphor, petrolatum, beeswax, and some other ingredients that, all combined, provide a whoosh of freshness upon application, followed by a protected, moisturized feeling.
According to The Cut, though, the reason it may be irritating or making your lips drier is due to the benzocaine (which many people are allergic to) and the salicylic acid (which you'll recognize from every acne product ever). The higher levels of menthol feel cool on your lips, but can actually dry them out further.
Branded as the sold-out fairy due to his V-das touch, BTS's V continues to prove his immense brand power. Taehyung caused a popular product to sell out again.
