I’ve definately used lip balm for some of these things, especially for my skin. I have sensitive skin and even sensitive skin lotion can burn my face. I had to use a retenoid for acne which killed my face and made it raw. My face was on fire with everything I put on, even natural remedies. Nothing worked until I decided to use my lip balm. It looked and felt a bit slimey, but looked better than dry, peeling, and raw. Within an hour the redness started to go down and my skin wasn’t screaming at me. I used it again at night and my skin made a huge improvement. I suppose I could use petroleum jelly, but lip balm often has additional ingreditents in it like aloe vera and moisturizers or medication; also, it was on hand for immediate use. before this i used lip balm on my nose all of the time when my nose would get raw from a cold.
