Bepanthen Lip Balm

Before you judge me for putting bum cream on my lips, you need to read this post!

 What is Bepanthen?

 “Bepanthen is an ointment containing pro-vitamin B5. Pro-Vitamin B5 gently aids natural skin recovery, while keeping it soft smooth and moisturized.
 Bepanthen forms a long lasting, breathable transparent layer, protecting even the most delicate skin from the causes of nappy rash.”

After the Liz Earle Horror had cleared up, I started noticing that there was a patch on my lip that was constantly sore. I use a range of different lip balms but always find that Carmex or Blistex clear up any dry lip issues. However, this patch didn’t budge. I Googled a few ‘remedies’ and found quite a few blog posts on Bepanthen as a lip balm.

I’ve noticed such a huge difference in the condition of my lips since I started using Bepanthen* and it makes the perfect base for lipstick. It applies just like a normal lip balm with a hint of shine. A little goes a long way so the little tube has lasted me for ages. My only real issue is that if you use too much it doesn’t rub in and your lips go white. Also, it’s something I only tend to use in the morning and evening – simply because I don’t want to have to explain to everyone why I’m using nappy cream on my lips!

 I blogged about the Bepanthen freebie here, which is still available if you head to their website.

 Have you used this before? Or would you use this as a lip balm?
