Earlier on this year I really struggled with dry chapped lips. When I was a teenager I used to lick my lips and make them quite sore and for years I hadn't really suffered the same kind of pain from chapped lips but this year with the weather being so changeable I really did suffer with my lips. Ordinarily I am a Vaseline lip therapy girl but that just wasn't working for me and so in Boots one day I picked up a couple of new products to try one being carex cherry lip balm (which is my new favourite!) and nivea soothe and protect which I shall review today. Nivea is a brand I think I have always associated with being caring as I think my nana had some nivea ...  Read the complete review

In April this year, I developed some disgusting dry skin around my lips and everytime I tried to open my mouth it cracked and became worse! I tried everything I could find to cure my dry skin but nothing worked! My mum recommend I try some kind of medicated lip balm, even though I had already tried this I went into Boots and looked for a different brand. This was when I first picked up Nivea's Soothe and Protect lip balm. ** Soothe and Protect ** Nivea Soothe and Protect is a part of the Nivea lip balm range.
