Best face-friendly salve?

Hello folks,

I've been on the search for a sort of all-purpose moisturizing salve of sorts, but with the one little fact that it has to be face-friendly. Dry skin is something I have to deal with (not too bad during the summer months, but the ridiculously cold temps that us Central Canadians deal with in the winter leaves my skin completely parched - flaky, red and painful - cute). I use virgin coconut oil for moisture after every wash and love it to pieces, but I'm looking for that travel-friendly, all-purpose-but-still-kind-to-the-finicky-skin sort of salve, or balm.

I'm going to be flying overseas this winter and I'm already dreading the Sahara-dry air of the flights, so this has been fueling my search as well.

In my head I imagine something thicker, more balm-like than anything.

Although I'd prefer to stick to a more budget-friendly route, I'm up for all suggestions (and I'm a DIY-addict!). Show me your products lovely people! C:

Haha, I just mentioned both of these in other threads because my skin is perpetually dry and flakey, but I guess they're applicable here too! If you're rashy, Neosporin makes a line of products for eczema and I really like the anti-itch cream. It's not a balm, but it works quickly even on really raw skin, and it's safe for your face. I also like waxelene, which is a little beeswax balm you can use pretty much anywhere.

Ooh I love the idea of Waxelene, and such simple ingredients. I may have to even try to whip up my own batch!

My derm recommended Aquaphor, which is available at the drugstore.

I suggest to consult with Jarvis at Jarvis Cosmetics...
