Lovely Things: Blistex Intensive Moisturiser

Every winter, my lips become painfully dry and cracked. And every winter, I buy a Blistex Intensive Moisturiser to treat them with - it's exactly what you need when your lips are so dry that normal balm does nothing.

This little tube of intensely moisturising cream is not pleasurable to use, really - it has a fairly medicated scent, and a thick cream consistency that doesn't leave the lips looking as pretty as say, that rose tinted Vaseline does. But it does heal cracks and soothe extreme dryness. Without this, I wouldn't be able to wear lipstick or gloss at all in winter.

One tiny tube costs £2.39 and contains plenty to get you through the winter period; probably it would last you two winter periods, but I always end up losing mine, and purchasing a new one the following year!

If you'd like to try this for yourself, you can find it at Boots.com for £2.39 for 5g.
