Well as of today I have no peeling lips to report of. I am soooo happy about this recovery so far. There are a couple of other things besides olive extract that i have been doing. 1. I stopped using lip glosses (just in case it aggravated them) 2. I have tried not biting my lips. When I was peeling all the time i used to bite the flaky skin off (disgusting but i did) all the time and i have made a conscious effort not to do this. So far so good with the olive extract though, it seems to have stopped the cycle. I am no doc but this seems to be related to my 'cure'.
