Beauty Tips For Body Care
Sorry, this is going to be a pretty long post. But if I’m going to ask for help on something, I might as well give you as much detail as I can right? :)So I've had chapped lips pretty much my entire life. And they peel like crazy. They peel when they're dry. They peel when they're "moisturized" even. As in when I put on lip balm, they start peeling in these soft flakes...if that makes sense. And I have a horrible habit of picking at my lips when they peel because I get self conscious about other people seeing. Basically, I need a solution. I have fine lines in my lips from rubbing and picking at them so much, and I don't want to have old, loose-looking lips, though they’re probably already at that point tbh. And I'm only 20!So I know that a lot of lip balms are petroleum based, which is useful for locking moisture in, but doesn’t give moisture to the lips. And I think that definitely plays a big role in my situation. That I’m preventing my lips from being drier than they already are, but I’m not helping them be more moisturized? But if that’s the case, what am I supposed to do? Are there any lip balms or treatments that will help? I’ve tried a ton of the popular lip balms out there, and none have particularly impressed me. I’m going to go against popular opinion and say the month I used Aquaphor was the worst time for my lips ever. I remember my lips literally being in pain from being peeled to the point of rawness and bleeding. My “favorite” (lol if I can even use that description) so far has been the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. It’s not amazing, but it probably works moderately better than most others. I looked at the ingredients, and has a lot of oils…if that’s what’s working for my lips. Bigelow’s Rose Bud Salve is also all right. It’s soothing when my lips are getting raw and irritated. I used it after that Aquaphor disaster to heal my lips back to normal dryness.Just to cover other details: I’m sure some of you might mention my water intake. I would say that’s not really a problem. I always carry a water bottle with me, and I really do drink enough water. When I’m super hydrated, it does reflect in my lips a little bit, but they’ll still get dry and flake. I also would say my skin leans on the dry side in general, so it probably makes sense that my lips are dry, but should they be dry to this point? And no one in my family deals with this, so it’s not genetic.Thanks so much for reading to this point. If you have any remedies or insight, please leave me a comment! And if someone has a science background and knows about ingredients and can recommend a product or something, that’d be great too! Thanks so so much!
