I haven’t posted or read this forum here in years, but I just wanted to share the best thing I have found to manage and almost heal my EC!
It’s pretty simple. Whenever I notice that my lips are feeling dry I wet them with my tongue, making sure to saturate them with saliva, then apply Burt bees lip balm to seal in the moisture. When they eventually feel dry again I repeat the process, lick them, saturating them, then apply lip balm.
Works amazing! My lips actually start to heal to a point where peeling almost stops and my lips don’t look red :)) No white line either!
Its important to use the right kind of lip balm tho, I tried some others and they will seal in the moisture but also prevent moisture(saliva & water) from getting back into the lips, causing them to dry out. So the only one that I have found to work and let moisture back in, is burts bees in a stick, the tin doesn’t work as well, as it goes on to thin.
Its also kind of important not to pick or force exfoliate your lips with creams, as it seems to impede the healing process.
Hope this helps!

This is a reply to # 1,588,900I noticed results in a couple of days, the more consistent I am with it the better my lips become.
Burt's bees lip balm is useless by itself. What works is keeping your lips moist underneath the balm and being consistent about doing it. I've had EC as bad as you could imagine for 10+ years and this simple routine is the best thing ive tried.
Good luck!

This is a reply to # 1,589,073Sorry no pics available. Yep, pretty much when they feel dry, wet them good with saliva and apply balm, thats it :)
Yes, I have fordyce spots on both unaffected and effected areas. There is more skin on my lips now and there are lines in the skin now. I never get big pieces of skin coming off anymore, only a tiny a piece here and there :)

This is a reply to # 1,589,103I use to apply burt's bees after I showered at night so it could lock in the moisture. I would still wake up with crusts of dead skin on my lips. I never tried licking my lips before applying it though. I do agree that burt's bees is a good lip balm overall but it melts easily in hot weather. I might try that uriage stick cause it says it doesn't melt. I guess I'll give it a shot but my EC is probably more severe than yours so it probably won't work. Trust me that statement is not a badge of honor. I take it your not using aloe vera every two days anymore. I never tried aloe vera cause I thought it wouldn't be potent enough to exfoliate the dead skin which seems to want to stay on my lips with most products. I'll give the burt's bees a shot though as I'm willing to try anything different.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,589,172I’m not using aloe any longer. I found that using it at night would cause a premature exfoliation of the lip skin the next morning, impeding the healing process. The dead skin actually seems to help heal when the lips are moist with water and sealed with balm. When the skin comes off, it comes off :)
For a reference, my lips were almost identical in terms of severity to lipshitz and dhammaboy on the peeling lips wiki webpage.

This is a reply to # 1,589,366Hey, sorry im not comfortable posting pics on the interwebs :)
Yes, I agree with you that if you lick your lips to moisten them without using a balm afterwards, you will just dry your lips out even more, due to the repeated drying out of the lips. Balm eliminates this.

This is a reply to # 1,589,103I read
“Even if you do not lick your lips, moisture from your mouth (saliva) gets on them accidentally when talking. When saliva dries on the lips, it leaves a residual layer of mucus coating the skin. Lip balm is much better on your lips than your own saliva. You can help retain lip balm moisture by wetting your lips with water, and then applying lip balm.”
What is your theory about why saliva works better than water?

Well for one, I'd say that you always have saliva on hand, no matter where you are or what you are doing, since it’s in your mouth :). It's also easy to apply ;)

This is a reply to # 1,589,608To give people a little more background. I've been doing this for about 4 months and there have been periods when I wouldn't let my lips dry out at all and the peeling completely stopped, or it was so slight that I didn’t notice the skin coming off. Sometimes I am just lazy and just let my lips dry out for days and apply no balm and my lips go back to being dry. Why, not because they were not healed but because they dried out so bad that all the layers of skin died.
To me "my lips being healed" means having normal looking lips, with skin and lines in the skin. Not raw and bright red, with huge pieces of crusty skin coming off :(((
I remember how excited I was when I first saw that lines had grew back on my lips and when they started to have a normal looking pink tone, not to mention the soft texture :))) This I had not seen in years.
My goal is to help. Whether or not people choose to accept it is up to them :) Everyone has to walk their path and for some, suffering will be part of it, until they choose different. I myself do not suffer from EC anymore and wanted to share my experience.
