Aquaphor Healing Ointment

Another member of the much-loved Eucerin family, Aquaphor is my MUST-HAVE item. I have a little .35 oz tube in nearly every bag, plus one in my travel kit, AND the 1.75 oz tube on my desktop, right next to my stapler! It is also available in a large 14 oz tub.

Aquaphor is heavy-duty stuff, about the same texture as petroleum jelly, but far more impressive. I mainly use Aquaphor for my lips, which are constantly dry and chapped. In the winter, I slather it on my hands before pulling on my gloves and by the time I get to my destination, my hands are super-soft! It's also a great item to have when you notice that your cuticles are dry or hang-nailed; you can dab it on while you're in transit (please don't do this while you're driving!)

I would just die and go to heaven if the gods incorporated SPF 30 into Aquaphor. I would NEVER cheat with any other lip balm if only it had SPF 30. With or without sunscreen, everyone needs to get a tube of this stuff.
