EC almost healed! Lips the best they've ever been!
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!
