Gosh, did I really think that a petrolatum based lip balm would keep my annoying chapped lips at bay? Well yep, that was before I used the product, yes it does smoothen those roughened up lips on application but a few minutes afterwards my lips starts feeling dry and the chapping begins like dry leaves in autumn. So you have to reapply the product very single minute to get the desired effect if you know what I mean. DUH?
