Man, I have no idea why my routine doesn’t work anymore. I got really frustrated with this condition early in the year, and tried a method a user suggested about washing your lips with mouthwash. Since then, my lips haven’t responded the same to vaseline.
Anyway, I tried your recommendation of Aquaphor. You were right it definitely holds on way tighter than Vaseline ... a little too tight though lol. I had much trouble getting the Aquaphor off.
