Re: split lips

There has been much discussion of Blistex and other lip balms among brass players. In general the consensus is that Blistex makes the condition worse if used long term, as it removes tissue from the lips. I tried it once myself, and noticed that the more I used it, the more sore my lips became, starting a vicious circle effect.

I find myself very happy with Burt's Bees lip balm, which contains no unpronounceable chemical names. A product call Lip Saver also gets good reviews as does (don't laugh) Preparation H.
