Reddit reviews Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25, Natural Mint & Shea Butter

Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 (US Amazon link)

I know, I know. It's like $8 for a tiny little tube of it. Butbutbut! It's the only SPF lip balm I've ever used that doesn't taste disgusting. It goes on clear and stays clear (I think it's a vaseline base? or something similar), and I'd totally buy it for its lip-balming properties even if it didn't have SPF.

Side note: usually I love mint lip balm, but I didn't like the mint version of this lip balm -- I thought it was weak and kind of spearminty ... or at least not pepperminty. I love the grapefruit ginger one, though.

Everything you said is ace, except for the chapstick thing! Petroleum is actually the thing that dries your lips out, aka Vaseline. It forms a barrier over your lips, but that means your lips get no hydration and thus chap, creating the "addiction" to chapstick. Burt's Bees is not petrol-based, so it actually shouldn't dry your lips out, but I find that (Jack Black lip balm)[http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Black-Intense-Therapy-Original/dp/B000MIH34Q] is actually the best for chapped lips. :)

Aritaum Ginger Sugar Lip Mask is amazing. This is a serious lip balm; it's heavy & tacky but it will moisturize the bejeebus out of your lips. As far as I can tell, Aritaum (& the parent company AmorePacific) is considered cruelty-free. If you are looking for something lighter in weight & with more slip, for more casual use, I second the vote for Jack Black's Balm

I need to excavate tidy my cube, but among the things I actuality use are:

• Several kinds of painkiller, because it sucks when you ask to bum an ibuprofen and all they have is aspirin.
  
• Nail file and cuticle nippers, because I will chew my damn fingers off if given the chance.
  
• Microfiber glasses/screen cloth.
  
• A sizeable stash of granola bars and/or a couple bucks for the vending machines.
  
• Extra lighter.
  
• Shark week supplies.
  
• Blotting papers.
  
• Emergency tea.
  
• Fabric bandaids. (Protip: for fingertips, cut the sticky bits lengthwise.)
  
• This stuff and this stuff.
  
• Hair elastics.
  
• Throat drops and/or honey sticks.

I love my Jack Black SPF 15 lip balm. It comes in a lot of flavors. Maybe Lemon Chamomile or Grapefruit & Ginger would be suitable citrusy alternatives to your existing one.

Alternately you can layer a plain utilitarian SPF balm like the Banana Boat one over your favorite lemon balm.

There are a lot of brands in this offer I know nothing about, but there are a few things I can recommend:

La Roche Posay sunscreen, such as the Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen or the Anthelios 50 Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen. These American LRP sunscreens still aren't as great as the European versions, but they still work very well and I like how they sit on my skin.

I also love the LRP Toleriane moisturizer, but it is much cheaper where I live; I'm not sure it is worth the money with all great, cheap moisturizers available in America.

Mario Badescu buffering lotion is HG status for me. Nothing, not even prescriptions, work as well as this lotion on my cystic acne. I've never tried the drying lotion, which is for non-cystic acne, but I've seen it recommended here a number of times.

Also, seriously, the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25. Technically, this is a skin care line for men, but who cares? I've read some good things about their moisturizers here, but never tried one. I maybe own the lip balm in every flavor....

Thanks! I've always found Chapstick a little too waxy for my taste—I've been using Burt's Bees—but this post has motivated me to go hunting for something I'd like. (I'm ordering this off Amazon.) I don't want wrinkles or cancer!

Also, would Neutrogena's Dry Touch be an appropriate body sunscreen? I've been using some horrible stuff I picked up at the grocery store (Banana Boat?) that feels oily and gross, especially when I sweat. :\

I'm a connoisseur! I live in Colorado so I feel your pain completely. If you can stand to spend ~$7 on a tube, this is the best thing out there - worth every cent. Nivea balms are a cheaper alternative; definitely not as good, but fine!

So I have sensitive lips - most treatments just leave my lips still chapped and irritated in the morning. I LOVE this balm: Jack Black Intense Therapy. This works during the day (doesn't leave your lips looking super shiny), but I adore putting this on at night. I use it like a "lip pack" lol, and pack it on in a decent layer. Every time I wake up, my lips are incredibly soft and smooth.

It's seriously my HG lip product. I've also used this under lipstick and it stays smooth - no clumping or drying up.

You can also get this at Whole Foods if you have one near you - I always order through Amazon (bc very lazy), but I've seen them at Whole Foods a few times. :) I hope you find what you're looking for!

It's on amazon too :)

it's really nice! i have the shea butter one and it's super moisturising and has a nice mild scent. i don't know if i'd go out of my way to get it but i'm glad that i've been able to try it.

and are you sure about amazon? when i go to this page it says that it will ship to my postcode

Try out Jack Black

I bought a 4 pack on Amazon, the lemon sucks, but the shea and mint are good. It came with a cherry which was surprisingly not bad (it doesn't smell like cherry chapstick, it actually smells like real cherries)
