Back in the day I used to be a normal person with normal lips. Sure, when winter rolled around, they’d get a little dry, so I’d slap some Chapstick on them and be good to go. Then came the winter of ’91. I was lured in by a brand of lip balm that extoled its lack of waxiness and its medicated-ness. Little did I know that “medicated” means that it has some sort of mint oil in it, and more importantly, that things like peppermint oil actually dry out your lips (or so I’ve heard). And since that fateful winter, I’ve been one of those people. You know the type, unable to go anywhere without having at least one, if not two or three lip balms handy.
