…the time it takes for wind-blown, chapped lips to recover, with proper lip balm application every hour.
Two weekends ago my husband and I rode our bikes around Lake Dillon. It was windy and I tolerated the sneezing, which always temporarily disables my vision. Can you sneeze without closing your eyes? Anyway, while my eyes and nose suffered on the ride and after, my lips paid the price. I could not get them hydrated. I rarely use lip balms, as they are just a bunch of wax which I end up chewing off, creating drier lips. However, I needed something.
The only reason I share this tidbit is because I found my missing lip balms last night, behind a chair and under the bed! Thanks to my daughter who saved me yesterday at Dollar Tree by purchasing a new one for me.
Now I have three for the next bicycle ride, provided I actually remember to bring them with me.
