@nomadfae The answer is counter intuitive because chapped lips are flaky and we often exfoliate flaky skin. However, it is usually not appropriate to exfoliate lips when they are chapped (should only be done when lips are normal) because most cases of chapped lips represent a low level of inflammation which could be worsened by exfoliation. For exfoliation of lips when normal, use a glycolic product. Great question!

[mateos36]

does anyone know what the product in the silver tube is?

[nabstudio]

It's so hard not to lick them. And now after using every, and I do mean every, chap stick there is now, there's a bacterial problem. And they hurt so bad. Went to a doctor, said to use Clotrimazole Cream. Need to do this for two wees, on top of that I have to put this irritation relief as a second coat, lie a glue. But right now they're red, cut. The right side of the lips where you open the mouth is cracked. So eating is a discomfort. So after my lips get really bad, what do I do to fix them?
