Have my lips stopped producing their own natural oil because I was using lip balm for so long?

I feel your pain sister.Based on your question I did a little exploring on the web a came across the most hilarious web site about the "Chapstick Conspiracy".Here is the tp://www.kevdo.com/lipbalm/chapstick.html \n\nMy husband siad there is a scientifical reason behind chaplips  and I cant remember it all however he says rub your lips with lemon salt a few times. It burns at girst but not for long.It supposedly balances the Ph something or other. I did it and it works.\n\nThen for maintenance if your lips start feeling dry try this. Mash a quarter of a ripe papaya until it makes a juicy paste. Lay down and apply a generous amount to lips leaving it on for 10-15 min. Then rinse it off.The papaya containes exfoilaing enzimes that help soften and refine lip lines.\n\nRemenber we all have a certain addiction.I think I found mine. Prepare yourelf.Lets take our lipds back.

Try using a lip exfoliator (Avon makes a good one). Also, \nsometimes if you overuse glosses, lipsticks, or chapsticks, \nyour lips can become "used" to being constantly moisturized.\nTry to go without for a few days or only use them when your lips feel really chapped. It is also very important to avoid licking your lips, biting your nails, and breathing through your mouth in your sleep.

I have used ABREVA, it is very expensive, about 15 dlls but I think is good, also try to use any medication when u start feeling the blister, because if u star using now, it wont help much, also if you go to a walgreens they have a section where u can find mexican products , try vitacilina, it is not expensive and will help your lip heal fast

Have you seen someone regarding this-it sounds like your hormones and internal chemicals have shifted and perhaps need some re-balancing.

Not bad for you, but the more you use it, the more your lips will rely on it for moisture.  Whenever I use Chapstick, my lips seem to be dryer than they were before I used it.

This could be an allergic reaction to your lipstick,lip-plumping treatments,fingernail polish(fingers touch lips all day;this is contact dermatitis) or even to your toothpaste and teeth whitening strips,if you use them.Put away the Vaseline;it just makes things worse.Try using Cortaid for a few days and you can use Mentholatum ointment on top of that.Mentholatum Ice lip balm is also a good moisturizer.If you do not see any improvement,go see a doctor,preferably a dermatologist.

Lips? Great!! Red, pink, natural it really doesn't matter. Lipstick tastes like nasty wax when I kiss those lips, so I do not like lipstick either.

I use that stuff.  The soft wax stays on longer than regular lipsticks and keeps the lips soft.  Protects them from the wind, cold ect.  The stuff works.

It sounds like an allergic reaction to something you've eaten or put on your lips. This happens to my sister whenever she eats anything with nuts inside. It started in adulthood for her, she used to eat them fine before. Keep track of when this happens and write it down what you've eaten or done. Good luck!

Honey I think we've all been there done that! You had too much salt. It dried out your lips. They really are a lot more sensitive than the rest of your skin. Carmex works great. I've tried blistex too but Carmex works faster. It is usually cleared up by the next day. If the skin on your lips has been really damaged be prepared for them to peel. Try to avoid chewing on them when they do. That's a problem that I have. Good luck

Vitamin B is supposed to help, as is Tiger Balm and other such lip balms. Kelp is supposed to be a really good supplement, and I think there's an electric device on the market (I've seen it advertised in magazines)....

If you've had it for a long time, the only way to go is laser surgery.  If it's a recent problem, maybe review your habits and it *might* get better.

You should see a Doctor first. I have a homemade remedy Lip-Ex and I take my Aloe plant and put the juice in it and stir it. But you may want to ask your Doctor first in case you are allergic to Aloe.

From natural based oils,some Paraphinum and they usually add some extract like Camomilla or Callendula,which are great..Even Baby oils are used by us,the grown-up...
