The most effective thing I have found for retaining moisture is pure lanolin. The exact company/product name is not that important, if it’s pure lanolin it will work very well. You can either use the regular kind, which has a similar texture to vaseline, or ”liquid lanolin”. The latter is much easier to apply as it’s not waxy or sticky, but it doesn’t stay on your lips much longer than anything else will, though it still moisturises very well. I would recommend starting with the regular type of pure lanolin (such as Lansinoh) as, if you apply it well enough, you won’t have to apply it more ...
