Avoid any lip stuff that has camphor in it.
This is an ingrediant that gives you that wonderful tingly feeling, yet all it really does is dry out your lips in the end, therefore making you use more of it. It's a viscious cycle--marketing at its best.
I recommend DCT (Daily Conditioning Treatment) by Blistex. It wont give you that tingly feeling, but it actually works.
I use this stuff cause I must play outside frequently in cold weather, therefore getting chapped rather often. I really dont know if you should use it if you can simply AVOID chapped lips. But, I cannot avoid it, so thats what I use to medicate.
