I think this is the first winter that I have managed to control my chapped lips, there are loads of products on the market but I have recently tried a specialist musicians lip balm and an off the self one from tesco!
Chop saver – Cheesily tagged “for musicians with lips!” as opposed to what beaks?
The lip balm is great smells nice and has a fresh lemony citrus taste – there are two drawbacks with this stuff, the first being that it is very soft and you end up using loads so it really doesn`t last. Even putting it in the fridge doesn`t help.
The second drawback is you feel like a trumpet geek if any other musicians catch you putting it on!
In my opinion the best one is the cheap and cheerful CARMEX! it comes in a small white tub with a yellow top and lasts for ages (its quite a hard waxy balm) This has got me through the lip chapping season with no problems!
I tend to drink loads of water and I feel that cracked lips are also a sign of dehydration!
