Title: Chapped lips???
Post by: MelissaAnn on November 15, 2014, 04:00:22 PM
Okay I've been on HRT now just short of 6 weeks and my lips are so chapped I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried everything I can find with no relieve. I need some help with this one.

Hugs,

Melissa Ann

Yes,But to no avail. I've tried Burts bees wax, Vaseline and all the other ones out there except for EOS. I haven't tried them yet.

If you're on an AA and what. It could be acting as a diuretic also, they can dry you out a bit. Try drinking some more water.  Besides water is always good for people to drink

Yep, I drink a lot of water. I'm very well hydrated because I am on AA and E my doctor didn't for me to make sure I increase my fluid intake. This is what I find so strange to be another four weeksyYet before I go see the doctor and I'm just trying to find a solution. Thank you very much for asking though.

Second that, water, you want to be drinking it as much as you can, at least 8 big glasses a day.

I have a 2Lt bottle on me at all times, I never drink soft drink unless I'm mixing it with Vodka or scotch (I get that from my dad).

It can give you fuller lips as well, you'll lose weight as a lot of the time we're not hungry, we just need a drink.

Are you exfoliating your lips?
Simply use your toothbrush twice a week when brushing on your lips for a minute or so, then when you're done a bit of vase on them.

Used to do this as I've always had chapped lips basically and it works well.
But what I do now, I have this like lip scrub thing I picked up in Lush.
Use if every second day, takes less than a minute. And then use lip balm and I'm good to go  :)

If you put Vaseline on your lips before you go to sleep it should fix it.always does for me.
