I am renouncing clothing and self care to live as Bigfoot

A minty lipped bigfoot?

I've used a few Nivea sticks and they've been unscented, not minty, and pretty moisturising. I found this one kicking around a handbag: https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/31421/nivea-sun-protect-moisturising-lip-balm-spf30-4-8g?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkdO0BhDxARIsANkNcrcoMLgbR3985MRK2x3CQsH0Q9N-EXU_UHhdFnVzWnJYnrqe7PybykMaAq_tEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Or you might be able to go into a pharmacy and talk to them? The smaller ones know their stock pretty well.

I just threw a blue one of those out. I seemed to be reacting to the fragrance or the castor oil.

It should be fine. Normally I don’t use it, it’s just winter and getting dehydrated causing some recent cracking

How annoying. You could try rosehip oil or something like that instead of a balm? A little more effort to apply but fewer ingredients to react to, and meant to be really good for your skin, including lips.

oh dear

I remember having a Revlon lip pencil, such a beautiful colour, could only wear it for about 10 seconds as it had mint in it

why do they do that?

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They want your lips to hurt and peel so you need to buy more products

that sounds like a law suit waiting to happen
