I tried out to leave my lips completely alone for some time but got to a point where I´m quite doubtfull if this has any positive effect..
Here are some pictures I took at the beginning and then 4 and a half months later when I stopped this.
4 1/2 months later:
As you can see there hasn´t been a great progress and since I have even before been letting the scabs alone for about half a year I decided to try aquaphor now.
For reducing the build-up it works well but on the other hand my lips still feel quiete inflammated sometimes and the white dead skin comes also off too early sometimes, I think. This is how it looks after about 3 weeks:
I´m quite uncertain about what to do next because actually I planned to leave them completely alone with no creams for at least 6-7 months and then see what happens and I´m afraid that if it doesn´t work with aquaphor and I´ll go back to doing nothing I have to start from the beginning again ...
on the other hand many claim that you have to keep them constantly moist and it also feels and looks of course better like this..
So just share your opinion/ experiences on that with me!
cheers
