Lip problems... =/?!
Question: i have had very bad lip issues for a while now, and it REALLY BOTHERS! ugh >=/
i mean, they're NOT chapped. And they're NOT dry. They are KIND OF smooth, but they're ALWAYS flaking little white things, not dry white things, but like some wet stuff. I stopped using lip gloss cuz i thought that was the problem, cuz everytime i would wear lip gloss if i left my lips alone for a while it started flaking that nasty white stuff again. But even when i wear lip balm & chapstick it STILL happens. And another thing is that my lips are very white. Like VERY. I want them to be a nice red or pink color, but they're NOTHING like that. ='( i have tryed almost EVERYTHING. I do that toothbrush thing on my lips that everyone says.... and NOTHING. i have tryed SO many chap sticks, and every single product blistex has, and still. I need to know if theres ANYTHING else i can do. Any "at home" tricks that might work. {i repeat i allready tryed the toothbrush thing.}
plz help if you can.
thx?

You could have a disease (not a horrible one) just one that causes your lips to shed skin often. Lips naturally shed, but when there is an irritant under the skin, the skin will replenish itself at a much faster rate thus causing the flaking and peeling. Simply keep them moist all the time, exfoliate daily with a gentile exfoliant (I believe the toothbrush method might be a little rough and contributing to the irritation going on with your lips). I use a mary kay set which has a lip mask that gently exfoliates and moisturizes then there's the balm which makes them extremely soft with no peeling.
soak your lips in water.
and dont put anything on your lips for a while
Its dead skin from putting stuff on ur lips, STOP putting stuff on ur lips for a while
...that means there chapped if u have that issue...just dont wrry about it, stop biting them and apply (bad tasting) chapstick to ur mouth so your not tempted to bite your lips....
just dont worry about it, after all 90% of things u worry about acutally happen!!
No don't soak your lips in water it makes it much worse trust me. You should put chapstick on even if they are not chapped. Also you can try to put an ice cube on them it might help. Hope it goes away and my answer helps!
yea i get fa same problem. what i try todo is put a light layer of chapstick!! and yea
hope that helps
ummm carmex.
