Sigh. I know. It seems like a silly thing to post about. Dry lips. It is getting colder, therefore drier, and my lips are always the first to go. But the house’s humidity is where it should be. And this didn’t just start.
Its probably been two weeks now. My top lip, right in the centre, the cupids bow, is SO DRY! I’ve worn makeup maybe twice since it started, so I can’t blame the overuse of dry, matte lipsticks. I have been diligently lathering them in chapsticks, night repairs, oils, etc. I feel like I’ve tried everything! I’m starting to look like the little kids who lick their lips until they get red chappy moustaches. And I’m NOT doing that! (Please tell me its not just my kids!) I’ve done an exfoliating lip mask or two, and I’ve even gone as far as rubbing my facial moisturizer on my lips. You can imagine how good that tastes. Not very. And still, I have these silly dry lips. No. Lip. Dry lip. Singular.
I went out for supper last night and I really wanted to do my makeup. It feels like its been so long since I’ve been able to wear a full face of makeup. So I did, with lipstick. And the skin just beyond my top lip was literally flaking off around my lipstick. So that looks great, obviously. And felt worse, even more obviously.
WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO??? Any and all tips are greatly appreciated!
