    Default Ugh, whats up with my lips?

    I bought some lip gloss at Sephora (sephora brand) and since I've used it the first time, my lips have been messed up.

    The minute after I put it on, they were a little tingly but nothing too weird. I noticed it got very gummy and gross quickly on my lips, but I applied a little more and it was fine.

    I woke up this morning and my lips are completely chapped in the corners, and like scaley feeling? I put a thick layer of Burt Bees on and its BURNING THEM!

    Damnit I have a date tonight and I nEEEEED kissable lips

    Is it that lip plumping stuff or lip exfoliating stuff? If so... that can irritate a lot of people.

    Some lip balms have SPF or Lemongrass or Chamomile or Tea Tree Oil... basically irritants and allergens for some people.

    So I'd definitely check the ingredient list...the detailed one...not the "active ingredients" one.

    It sounds like you've had a bit of a reaction. Have you tried the toothbrush trick? Put loads of lip balm or vaseline on and gently rub your lips with an old toothbrush, this should take off all the rough chapped skin. You should do this gently and it shouldn't be painful, if it is then stop, you lips might still be too sensitive.

    Almost every chapstick or lip balm makes my lips peel. (The only one that *doesn't* do this has tea tree oil, but is also very minimal in terms of ingredients.) It seems to be something to do with petroleum based stuff, and not an allergic reaction in that nothing swells up or itches. Lipstick does this a little but not as much. If I need to moisturize, I use oil these days...

    Your problem sounds somewhat different in terms of the tingling / inflamed corners, more likely to be allergic.

    When I used the Body Shop's chapstick my lipskin basically peeled off and got scaly. It was Chamomile. My lips burn when I use Revlon lipstick too. Definitely sounds like an allergy-don't put that minty Burt's Bees on your lips!

    The BB was what fixed it!

    I dont think I have an allergy to it, I think it just made me slough off a section of my mouth lol. The BB was tingling b/c it was peppermint oil on new skin, I guess. Its all calmed down now, but I'm very weary about wearing that Sephora lippy again.

    I'll just stick to sheer lipliner and chapstick!

    Could you be getting a cold sore and the new lipgloss just triggered the sensation?
