I find myself overtaken by Blistex. I apply it constantly, pushing 6-7 tubs empty a week is not uncommon. Stockpiling has also become an issue. I can’t wait to open a fresh tube – what do I do?

Dear Cousin,
Who stands a chance? This isn’t your grandfather’s balm, this is a fecking Lip Revitalizer. According to the Blistex website, the product “gently removes damaged, rough cells on the surface of lips while providing a light moisture seal to help lip cells replenish.” Sounds awfully lofty for a company that lists acid as its first ingredient.
Bossy’s advice? Cut back during the day, but apply a generous dose before bed and allow it to seep while you sleep. A final warning: For external use only.

Best,
