lip balm (Carmex, specifically),

Is Lip Balm Addictive? Main Page | Register | Login | Hoax Forum | Recent Comments Is Lip Balm Addictive? Status: Undetermined There's an old urban legend that states that the makers of lip balm (Carmex, specifically), add ground-up fiberglass to their product. The glass irritates people's lips, causing them to feel like they need to apply the balm again and again. There's another urban legend that states that lip balm interferes with the moisture sensors in the lips, causing lips to become dry and requiring more lip balm to be applied. Neither of these urban legends is true. Carmex debunks the fiberglass myth on their website , and the moisture sensor one is false because there are no such thing as moisture sensors in the lips. (At least, not ones that regulate the moisture levels of the lips.) However, an Associated Press article points out that many lip balms contain salicylic acid or other irritants, and that these additives could encourage repeated use, thereby lending some substance to the charge that lip balm is physically addictive: Dr. Monte Meltzer is the chief of dermatology at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore. He says lip balm often includes ingredients that cause a tingling, such as salicylic acid, phenol and menthol. Some of these are exfoliants that cause lips to peel. In turn, the lips become thinner and less able to protect against the elements. So people need to apply again, and the vicious cycle continues. Carmex, in its defense, tries to make out as if salicylic acid is a mild, non-irritating chemical, pointing out that it's "closely related to aspirin." However, I don't see why its relationship to aspirin is relevant since salicylic acid obviously does dry out your skin (which is why it's used in acne medicine). However, even if lip balm isn't physically addictive, I know that it's definitely psychologically addictive, because my wife is totally addicted to the stuff. (I try to tell her that if her lips feel dry, she should drink more water, but she doesn't listen.) For those who are hooked on the stuff, Lip Balm Anonymous can offer some help.

Page 1 of 1 pages Geez...this is a great article to put up after I just bought a lip balm... Posted by Smerk in to mischief on Mon Jan 23, 2006 at 11:05 PM um...your wife is not alone...i also have an addiction to lip balm but i prefer lip smackers....maybe she does too...you should check Posted by bellyacher on Mon Jan 23, 2006 at 11:10 PM p.s. i would consider "lip balm anonymous" as a source of help if their website was not COMPLETELY annoying to look at!! just looking at it makes me need to apply more lip balm Posted by bellyacher on Mon Jan 23, 2006 at 11:15 PM I used to live out there in Southern California (28 years), and would use that Chap Stick. Seemed the more I used it, the more I needed it, and so, the more I used it... to the point that my lips would PEEL if I quit using it. I decided to rough it and get off the crap, and ain't touched it in fifteen years. My lips are better off without it. I gotta agree with the folks who advise against it's use, as in my opinion, it serves no useful purpose other than an addiction... Posted by Christopher in Joplin, Missouri on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 03:49 AM I had to use a very strong salicylic acid to get rid of warts on my feet. After a week straight, chunks of skin were falling off of my feet. How do you like them apples? Posted by AqueousBoy on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 06:21 AM I'd say I'm addicted to chapstick. I like lip smackers best, personally..it tastes good! Posted by Sakano on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 10:23 AM I like the burt's bee's one. And, there's no salicylic acid in it. I live in arizona where it's really dry and I don't need it all the time. However, when I have days where I spend many hours in the sun, the next day I'll use the lip balm all day and voila, my lips are just fine again. It seems to work, I've never had a problem with it. Posted by Razela on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 10:35 AM My G/F HAS to put it on every night or she can't sleep.....lol..... Posted by X in McKinney, TX. on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 11:13 AM I've heard rumors that there is gound glass in some "chew" or chewing tabacco. Does anyone know if this is true or a myth? Posted by Rob on Tue Jan 24, 2006 at 06:41 PM Rob, total myth. Snopes covers that here . Posted by AqueousBoy on Wed Jan 25, 2006 at 06:26 AM I just use a small dab of skin moisturizer when my lips get dry. A single application does the job instantaneously 90+% of the time, and it never takes more than two applications. Works a lot better than lip balm. Posted by intjudo on Wed Jan 25, 2006 at 06:28 PM It's only addicting because it tastes so good that you lick your lips and the more you lick your lips, the more dry they get... Save yourself the chapped lips and just eat the lip balm...
