when all of you mean the "leave alone method" do you mean you are not manually peeling and ALSO not putting anything on the lips? I am currently on week 8 of not peeling and not putting anything on and am on about a 10 day peeling cycle. The skin underneath is still red and einflammed when a crust falls off and I am I have very bad BURNING pain. I am beginning to think that this process is not sustainable and I need to go back to moisturizing but not peeling.
