Soreness around lips after riding in cold weather

[GlamorganGuy]

Anyone found a solution to sore skin around the lips after a long winter ride? I can deal with chapped lips using lip balm but the skin just below my bottom lip gets really sore and chapped and I can't find anything to sort it out. Spreading a bit of balm over that area just seems to make it worse. Any suggestions gratefully welcomed.

Vaseline works for me

Plus a buff pulled up over the chin can help.

Used to get a winter protect cream from Avon, designed for Scandinavia but NI gets pretty nippy.. Not sure if it's available now but worth a google

I would recommend using Boots’ Aqueous.

It has served me well in cold Norwegian weather.

Glittery lip gloss...it's nearly Christmas after all

I'd suggest vaseline for during the ride (as a barrier to protect it) and then normal moisturiser after the ride and shower, something like E45.

fwiw: I've been known to apply a thin layer of Vaseline to my nose & cheeks on the worst days
