Reddit reviews Rosebud Salve Tin, .8 Ounce

I'll just leave this here.

$60 is a lot to spend on a lip balm. Ceramides are good. I doubt that "essential rose wax" does anything except maybe smell good. CeraVe sells an ointment that can be used as a lip balm, and it has ceramides in it. I think it's less than $5. If you want something that smells nice maybe Smith's rosebud salve? I haven't used it but it probably smells nice.

Some Rosebud Salve will keep my lips smooth and pouty :)

I'm not in the UK but a quick google tells me that amazon has this (so I imagine Boots or Sephora will too) Smiths Rosebud Salve Original Balm

I LOVE this stuff. I'm 11 days in and my lips are actually smoother than before I started. I have hardly made a dip in it and I've used it multiple times a day. $8 Canadian for those in Canada :)

My entire routine is pretty cheap, I'll list it here :)

Morning

• wipe face with Simple micellar water
  
• spray face with Thayers rose petal witch hazel
  
• moisturize with C&C dual action moisturizer
  
• apply Neutrogena dry-touch sunscreen SPF 55
  
• makeup, if any
  
• spray again with witch hazel
  
  
  When I get home
  
  
• wipe face with micellar water
  
• spray with witch hazel
  
• moisturize with C&C
  
  
  Before bed
  
  
• wash face with Cerave Hydrating
  
• wipe face with witch hazel
  
• apply 1 pump of CosRX BHA
  
• apply 1 pump of CosRX AHA
  
• use The Ordinary niacinamide/zinc serum
  
• dab tea tree oil on any huge spots that require a nuclear response
  
• dab Smith's rosebud salve on those spots over top of the TTO
  
• moisturize with The Face Shop rice ceramide emulsion
  
  
  Hope this helps! I don't use any more product than I need for the more expensive stuff (BHA/AHA/TTO), but everything else has a really low cost per use. I think this amounts to an average of $45-$50 a month, which is not bad (I think!)

Hmm, during the day I'd recommend any regular balm with SPF in it, applied lightly. But at night-time I recommend slathering on a thick layer of Smith's Rosebud Salve-- it's kind of like vaseline but with extra healing properties, and this really hydrates the poo out of my lips, such that I can wear drying lip products during the day and be fine!
