Just had to do some major un-sewing (quilting). My finger tips were getting so tender. I rubbed chap stick on them. Wow, it works, after two uses they are about 80% better.

It also works great on your nose when it gets sore from blowing it!

I discovered this many years ago when my allergies were so bad then.

My Husband discovered this last winter. His fingertips dry and crack. He told a friend about it, the guy thought maybe he had lost his mind. He tried and it worked.

You can also use it on your feet instead of a more expensive blister stick, apparently they are the same formula, it stops blisters.

Also works in a pinch for wind burned cheeks, calluses on elbows, or knees. I buy in quantity around Christmas when the price in much lower. We have found some hilarious flavors the last couple years. DH loves the "bacon" one I got him. My favorite is the "Wafflehouse" flavor.

I fell and my glasses cut under my eyebrow. The plastic surgeon told me to put chapstick on the scar whenever I was in the sun.....it will keep scars from turning that reddish color.....I took his advice...I still use it around my eyes for sun protection. It works.
