Do you slather on Chapstick like crazy during the winter? How bout all year long? Well stock up on all your favorite brands and flavors because here are eleven more uses for that ever handy Chapstick.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Chapstick or Lip balm any brand any flavor.

Step1
As you know your Chapstick provides moisture to your lips when they get dry, but did you know that it can also provide moisture to your hands, knees, feet and elbows too? This comes in especially handy during the winter when our skin is exposed to cold and dry air. Next time your on the go and you don't have lotion handy, go with Chapstick!
Step2
Next time you get a cold and your nose is stuffed up, red, dry, and flaky smear some mint chapstick on the sides of your nostrils!(away from the raw skin) It will moisturize and soothe your nose and the mint scent can even help alleviate congestion.
Step3
Ladies use chapstick to brush your eyebrows flat and straight. Gentleman you can use Chapstick to groom your mustaches. Apply it just like you would mustache wax. It's cheaper!
Step4
Next time you dye your hair apply Chapstick to your hair line ahead of time to prevent the embarrassing dying of your skin.
Step5
If you cut yourself shaving you can apply Chapstick to the cut to stop the bleeding. No more walking around with toilet paper bits stuck to your faces guys, it is most unbecoming!
Step6
Apply chapstick to your nails when their getting dry and brittle, it can keep them from breaking off until they grow out enough to be cut.
Step7
Dab a little Plain Chapstick under your eyes to give them a fresh, bright, and "awake" look.
Step8
Ladies, have you ever had a Chapstick or Lip balm flavor that smelled great but tasted horrible? Apply a little behind your ears, on your wrists, or behind your knees as a light sweet scented perfume.
Step9
Going clubbing? Partying this weekend? Get a shimmery Lip balm or Chapstick and apply it as a glitter lotion to all the places you want to draw attention to.
Step10
Decorating easter eggs? Don't have those little wax crayons? USE CHAPSTICK! Draw your lines and decoration onto the egg before you lower them into the colored dye to get pretty white lines and designs.
Step11
Want a thinner nose? Skip the nose job and use this neat makeup artist trick instead, when ever your going out in the sun or tanning apply a straight line of Chapstick containing SPF 15 right down the very top of your nose. as you get a little color the lighter line of skin provides thinning and straightening contouring. These are just a few of my off beat ways of using Chapstick. Do you have any?

on 1/2/2008 I walked the St. Jude Marathon this year and put chapstick on my heels, and toes on all the places that tend to rub blisters. It worked! I crossed the finish line with no blisters!
