This is the solution for dry lips

Now that the liters of rain are falling from the sky again, the loose skin on my lips has also made a comeback. No idea if it's due to the cold weather or the fact that I've been on Roaccutane for a few weeks now. Hydrate your lips doesn't happen by itself, and my acne treatment is doing nothing to help. A friend suggested I buy a can of Purol petroleum jelly. Really nice and sweet, reapplying petroleum jelly every hour, but I felt like my lips were only getting drier. So what do you do then? I cracked the code: nipple cream.

Originally intended for women with dry nipples from breastfeeding, but due to its moisturizing properties, you can also use it perfectly to combat crusty lips. It contains lanolin: wool fat obtained from sheep's fleece. Sounds nice, right? During the cleaning process of the wool, a greasy substance is released that, unlike petroleum jelly, does NOT seal your lips. Your skin can therefore continue to breathe without drying out.

You will hardly believe it, but I even received a compliment about it recently. ‘Wow, now I'm just curious: which lip gloss do you use?’ ‘Well madam, nipple ointment.’ You see: nothing can compete with that lip gloss or balm. The smell is just a bit... well... you might have to get used to it at first.

My tube goes everywhere with me anyway. And it costs less than ten euros. Bargain.
