Zinc can also be obtained over the counter in a lip balm or ointment. This should be applied at the first sign of occurrence or when in UV light and windy conditions to cut down the risk of an outbreak. Supplements or a diet rich in lysine (found in vegetables, beans, fish, turkey, and chicken) and low in arginine (found in chocolate, peanuts, almonds, cashews, and sunflower seeds) also suppress outbreaks. Pharmaceuticals: Acyclovir, famcyclovir, and valacyclovir treat severe cold sore outbreaks by stopping the virus from spreading.

Be sure to protect your lips with a lip balm that has an SPF of 15, too. To increase awareness of the damaging potential of UV radiation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Weather Service have developed a UV index for use in weather reports to help individuals evaluate the level of danger from sun exposure on any given day. Following are the risk levels associated with exposure to UV rays as given in the index numbers: • 0-2: Minimal risk. • 3^4: Low risk. • 5-6: Moderate risk. • 7-8 High risk. • 9-10 or higher: Very high risk.

For under one dollar, that's not such a bad deal! AVON SOLUTIONS PRODUCTS © Clean Cloths Facial Cleansers ($7-50 for 25 cloths) are gentle, basic cleansing cloths that can be used by all skin types for on-the-go face-freshening or makeup removal. While not an ideal substitute for a water-soluble cleanser, they are a convenient secondary option for occasional use. © Clean Cream Cold Cream Cleanser ($8 for 5 ounces) is accurately named, because this is similar to, but with a thinner texture than, a standard cold cream.

It applies smoothly and the amount of film-forming agent (it's the second ingredient) has some ability to keep lipstick in place, though it's not foolproof. This isn't the best for very dry or chapped lips, but is worth testing if you want something lighter to wear under lipstick. OTHER BARE ESCENTUALS PRODUCTS © i.d. bareEyes Eye Makeup Remover ($14 for 4 ounces) is a standard, fragrance-free, detergent-based eye-makeup remover that does the job, but is best used prior to cleansing the face since the ingtedients are best tinsed from the skin. © i.d.

Including several ceramides was a good idea, but the amounts in this product—well, they don't amount to much. TIME DIMENSIONS S© Time Dimensions Conditioning Cleansing Cream ($8.99for 6.7ounces) is nearly identical to the No7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Cleanser, for Normal/Dry Skin above, and the same review applies. © Time Dimensions Deep Cleansing Wipes ($6.99 for 30 wipes) work well to cleanse normal to very dry skin, and are fairly adept at removing makeup (waterproof formulas will withstand these wipes).

It's a pricey way to care for dry, chapped lips, but will do the job if you decide to splurge. The amount of peptide is so small as to be inconsequential. © Total Body Lift ($58 for 6.9 ounces). Every couple of years, Clarins revamps and relaunches its anti-cellulite product. Former versions have included Body Lift Advanced Cel-lulite Control and "Cellulite" Control Gel (quotation marks are from Clarins)—you sort of wonder, if those previous incarnations worked, why did they need to reformulate?

What a shame it also contains peppermint oil, which makes it too irritating for routine use. DECLE0R PARIS (SKIN CARE ONLY) DECLE0R PARIS AT-A-GLANCE Strengths: None of note. Weaknesses: Expensive; 85% of Decleor Paris's products contain volatile essential oils that have limited to no benefit for skin and are known irritants; almost all the sunscreens lack the right UVA-protecting ingredients; no product to address acne or skin discolorations; inappropriate jar packaging. For more information about Decleor Paris, owned in-part by Shiseido, call (888) 414-4471 or www.decleor.com or www.

UVA-protecting ingredients; it is not recommended. © Pro Relief ($2.49 for 0.16 ounce) lists the topical anesthetic pramoxine hydrochloride. This can provide temporarily relief to painful lip conditions such as cold sores, but is most often used to quell itchy areas such as can occur with psoriasis. It's only an option if lips are in need of treatment for cracked, dry skin that has led to itching, and use should be discontinued if lips show furthet signs of irritation. © Silk & Shine SPF 15 ($2.49for 0.

Although the saying has faded with time, yet the importance of beeswax as a lip balm hasn't. Both yellow beeswax straight from the hive and the commercially bleached white beeswax are used extensively in lipsticks. If you have beekeepers in your immediate area, then I suggest you visit one of them sometime and purchase a little beeswax. It keeps well in a cool, dry place. Whenever you are out in the sun or wind too long, just carry some of this with you and rub a little bit over your lips every now and then. You'll find it keeps them nice and moist and soft.
