I find medicine useful in many situations, including on chapped lips and hands. I'd opt for a beeswax based lip balm, blistex is full of chemicals though.

I think it is useful when working with green timber. I've used it in production settings and when I was hand cutting. Get a free tub, and try it out yourself.
