I really like wearing lipstick, too, so it can be really disappointing to have my icky lips make the lipstick look awful. Besides cracking and bleeding, at a minimum they start to peel, and the whole thing just looks bad.
Fast forward to a couple of weekends ago, when my niece and her husband asked us to spend the weekend with them at a beach house in Rehoboth Beach. One of our favorite places to visit while there, is a soap shop called Little Egg Harbor Soap Shop. First of all, it's a cute shop, and they have really nice, handmade soaps. We went there last fall when we visited, and by the time we were going this time, the soaps we'd bought then were gone. So we were really hoping to get some more, and hoping the shop was open in the off-season.
It was, so we were able to get more of the soaps we liked, and try one or two new ones. But the best thing I bought that day was this little jar:
I bought this as a kind of afterthought, while waiting to check out. The lady who works there said that it had been very popular, and that she really liked it. It was $5.00, so I figured, what the heck I'd give it a try.
Wow. I love this product. A teeny amount rubbed across your lips not only feels good and even tastes OK, but immediately softens, exfoliates, and conditions your lips. You wash it off, and your lips feel like you put a really lovely balm on them for about an hour or so afterwards. All of a sudden, my lips were in good shape, even after only two times using this! And you need such a small amount for big results, I think I'll have this for a while - so the $5.00 price tag is a good deal!
Little Egg Harbor Soap company has a website here, and the specific link for the lip scrub is here. Of course, if you are in Rehoboth Beach or any of the other locations, you can buy it in person, while also getting a whiff of their lovely soaps. But if you need something to help your lips, it may just be worth ordering it and paying for the shipping.
I, for one, couldn't be happier about the way this works.

That sounds like great stuff! I've been really sick for most of the past two months, and my lips kept drying out and peeling. I'm going to have to get on this shop's website. Thanks for the information!
When my lips are dry I always end up coming back to Vaseline. So boring and bland, but it doesn't make my sensitized skin react. I know some people object to it's being a petroleum byproduct, but it works for me. That lipscrub looks yummy though :)
