My cheap drugstore purchase transformed my dry lips – I’m obsessed and use this as a mask every night, a toothbrush helps too

A BEAUTY fan revealed a cheap drugstore buy cured her dry lips.

They explained that they have been struggling with dry lips for a long time, but just one skincare product made a difference.

Editor Justintime107 shared the beauty recommendation in a viral post.

“I used to have dry lips all the time. Now, I don’t have it anymore,” they said.

A multipurpose healing ointment has changed the game for them.

“Solution: Aquaphor in the big bottle because I’m OBSESSED,” they said.

“I use it as a mask on my lips at night.”

One trick, they added, is to use a toothbrush to remove dead skin, which also prepares your lips for makeup.

“In the morning, I use my toothbrush and gently exfoliate my lips and it removes the top layer of skin,” they said.

“I then use my normal lip products like lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss, or whatever.”

Another Redditor agreed that Aquaphor worked wonders for them.

“That’s exactly what I do! It works incredibly well,” they said.

“I have little stashes of Aquaphor all over the house now haha.”

Amazon shoppers praised the cream’s value and effectiveness.

One reviewer explained that she chose the ointment as an occlusive measure, but ended up falling in love with it for other uses.

“I originally bought a tube of Aquaphor to ‘scrub’ my skin, which is a weird TikTok beauty trend of leaving a layer of this on your face overnight to make your skin soft and hydrated,” Lyla wrote.

“I used it for whisking maybe twice and ended up using it for TONS of different things. This is now a staple in my house.

“It’s reasonably priced, comes with a lot in a tube so lasts a long time, applies like a thick ointment and stays put with minimal absorption into the skin, has no scent and is clear.

“I use this as a skin barrier on sensitive areas of the face before applying retinol (it helps dry out these areas),” she added.

“I use it when changing my baby’s diaper as a skin barrier and when he gets diaper rash. Now it’s also my FAVORITE sunscreen and I use it every night on my lips before bed.

Another reviewer praised the ointment’s healing properties.

‘This is the best, a little goes a long way and literally keeps you hydrated for hours!’ they said.

“This is my favorite lip balm for when my skin is dry and even when I have a scratch, because it helps it heal really well. I want to kiss the creator of this.”
