Last Sunday, I super exposed myself to extreme sunlight with some light breeze. The wind was relatively cold (in Philippines standard) until 8am and it was scorching hot around 9am to 4pm.
It was a perfect Sunday to watch everything that flies at the 16th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival, it was a perfect summer weather and I though I can take in all the breeze and the sun . I was wrong. I was drained half of the day because it was so hot and my lips cried foul!
I’m now suffering from windburned lips. I forgot that I am prone to windburn whenever I am out on a weather with cool wind and low humidity.
Its ouchie I tell you! Its not a nice feeling, my lips feels stretch-out , chapped with burning sensations.
I’m so stoopid to forget the stash of Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balms I got a week before my trip. I am now using them to relieve me from the uncomfortable sensation of chapped and dried lips.
Product Info
Carmex Moisturizing Lip Balms are made for long lasting relief for dry chapped lips. It has petrlatum, lanolin, cetyl esters, theobroma Cacao (cocoa) seed butter, paraffinum liquidum, beeswax, camphor, menthol, salicylic acid, vanillin and fragrance.
They come in three different forms: the jar with 7.5g, the 10g tube and the stickin 4.5g with SPF 15.
They also have them in 4 different flavors, the original flavor, strawberry, cherry and mint.
On my lips
The dark color around my lips is the affected area, without Carmex moisturizing balm it definitely looks much worst.
What I think about Carmex moisturizing lip balms?
It does relieve my lips from the uncomfortable, itchy and painful feeling of windburned lips. I love how it makes my lips feel cool probably because of the menthol ingredient in it. I like how it keeps my lips moisturized and that the cracks aren’t obvious at all. My lips still looks smooth. But believe me without the Carmex its so painful and the dry skin would be cracking like crazy!
Anyway, you can check-out carma-labs.com for more info about the product and promotions.
How about you, are you prone to chapped lips? What do you use to relieve you from it?
Stay gorgeous everyone!

I mentioned that it does sting in the post, its part of the healing process. It worked for me, probably you are alergic to menthol and mint?
I just bought my first carmex and when i applied it on my lips, it hurts! It has this minty feeling. I checked the ingredients and it has menthol. 🙁 when i was little i was diagnosed with a windburned lips and the doctor said to keep away from mint flavored. I dont know how carmex healed your windburned lips. 🙁 It really hurts for me, I am looking forward to this and this what happened 🙁 so sad.
I am prone to chapped lips so I always put on lip balm but it’s not Carmex.
your welcome ms. grace 🙂
Thanks Ms. Earthlingorgeous!
