any lip care tips? i feel like either my birth control (pill) makes them dry or maybe i’m just not that hydrated? idk but aquaphor isn’t helping and laneige isn’t either. vaseline is ok but doesn’t make a huge diff either. SOS

drink more and chew gum. if you’re like me when they’re dry i lick them which doesn’t help so gum helps me not do that. also, burts bees chapstick is god tier.

Definitely make sure you are drinking plenty of water! It will help hydrate the whole body, and I would say every once in a while exfoliate the lips to get some new lip skin cells and then moisturize them that way your not just overlaying moisture on top of peeling skin cells, it needs to reach the new ones

I use okeefs hand cream on my lips at night with a layer of Vaseline to lock it in. Next morning you can exfoliate off the dead skin with a wet washcloth and keep Vaseline on all day

If they are excessively dry, try putting a layer of corticobalm or hydrocortisone and then a layer of Vaseline over it. Lips will be great in a couple of days max

if you’re already regularly drinking water drinking more plain water can flush out the electrolytes in your body making it worse
