If Your Lips Aren't Kissable You Need This!. Review on Blistex

I have a problem with dry lips so often use Blistex to help moisturize them. When my lips get too dry I get cold sores. Blistex is a great help then as well.

Blistex Lip Ointment is a sun screen protection 15+ SPF lip balm and coldsore treatment ointment, which reduces the symptoms of cold sores.

WHY I NEED TO USE BLISTEX:

When I lived in Alberta the winters were long and cold and I often had chapped lips. In British Columbia the wind makes my lips dry.

The glare of the Sun off the snow in the winter and the long summer days make my lips sore and dry.

When I am upset I get a coldsore on my lips and a few times on my eye lids, (Bilistex won't help the eyes).

THE PACKAGING:

Blistex's container looks like a lipstick. There are .15 oz of a vaseline looking cream inside. The tube is blue with Blistex written in white.

THE FORMULA:

The active Ingredients are: 7.5% Padimate O, 2% Oxybenzone, 1% Camphor and 1% Allantoin. There are no scents added to it.

WHY IT WORKS:

Padimate O and Oxybenzone are chemical sun screens that form a barrier to absorb damaging ultraviolet (UV) light before it reaches the lips and skin. Sun screen protection will help avoid cold sores that are often stimulated by UV light. Allantoin is an emollient that softens and soothes dry and damaged lips.

THE COMPANY:

Blistex Inc. began, (in 1947), as a small Family Company. In 2002, Blistex Inc. received an ISO 9001: 2000 registration. This prestigious designation is only awarded to Companies that have a high quality Management System who focuses on the quality of their products, Customer satisfaction and product improvement. Today their products have helped millions of people around the World.

MY CONCLUSION:

Blistex helps me and if you haven't tried it I hope you will.

Blistex makes a lot of products that you can find on their website:

I pay $1.00 CAD for the tube. It's a bargain because it lasts for a long time, (I still have a half a tube left from last year).

Comments are always welcome.
