Do items like hand cream and chap stick actually make your skin worse?

Do items like hand cream and chap stick actually make your skin worse? My boyfriend just informed me that using these items too often makes your skin or lips worse and you become depended on them for soft skin or smooth lips. Is this true? I have had very bad dry skin since I was little.


Also does anyone have and good suggestions for chapstick?

I agree with your boyfriend. I never use to get chapped lips. I started putting on gloss (MAC-so it wasnt a cheap kind!) and my lips started getting chapped! I think they do get dependent on the extra moisture. I have totally had this convo with my boyfriend too!





Now i use Soft lips,works soooo good.
Reply:umm. i guess if you use it too much youll get oily and greasy.


but it doesnt harm you or anything.

Reply:Oh wow I've never heard that...but now that I think of it it kinda makes sense....but yeah I've never had any problems and I use both everyday....I think the brand chapstick is the best....
Reply:Only the ones that have petroleum products in them. Use a natural moisturizer like the ones made by Bee-Luscious. You won't become dependent on those.
