True...

Except chapstick sucks. It reminds me of rubbing a candle on my lips. And I don't care for the smell.

Some lip balms are ok, like Burts. But it is expensive and for the cost of a few of those I can make an almost unending supply of homemade lip balm.

All I do is measure it out into a pyrex measuring cup and stick it in a shallow pot of boiling water until it melts (within minutes) stir, and then pour it into something, like a medicine bottle.

I swear, I have enough lip balm ingredients in there right now to last our entire family 10 years. LOL!!

It's always worked for me. And when I was playing trombone, not to mention living in the dry AZ climate, I was ~very~ careful about taking care of my lips.

And to this day, I always carry a tube of it in my pocketses.
