I have bit them since I was young. I have also peeled the bottom lip superficial layer severalllllllllll times throughout the year, on a very regular basis.
Yeah, so this has like totally made them look kinda umm…unsightly.
I dont want to have such dry, chappy lookin lips with red blotches from peeling them. They sometimes look like they have been through a very rough night. sigh
I dunno how to rectify this situation. I mean I sometimes use this cool lip balm I have but it only does so much. It doesnt prevent me from fiddling with my bottom lip and the skin just gets all…I dunno.
i think first things first you gotta stop biting yr lips, if u dont do that then theres no point in all the lip balms and stuff coz it aint gonna work. once u lay off the biting, i think that all the bites and blood stuff will dry up and start getting back to normal. then i think try all the balms and stuff. hope this helps
I do the same thing! Bottom line it's a bad habit. Just like biting your nails. You actually have to just wean yourself out of this habit. Like be careful of when you do it (watching tv, reading, or like me when I am stressing!) and just be aware of it and stop it. In the meantime, use chapstick. It is the best,I have tried everything that is out there and chapstick seems to work the best, I keep a tube everywhere so I always have it.
no amount of medication/chapstick will help unless you learn to control the act of peeling. i used to do this whenever i was thinking or anxious about something but i finally learned to control it and stop doing it altogether. just try and figure out what makes you do it and then try and focus on something else (like chew gum or something) instead of biting the lips. in a week your lips will go back to looking normal.
Everyone else, yep, its really difficult for me to stop the habit because even when I leave em alone for awhile, I sometimes notice that the skin is chappy so I just start doing it againnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. smack
Femme, I think I might try the horrible tasting lip balm idea. Or maybe I will try and force myself not to bite my lip.
I might look into it girly girl. I really like the one I use too.
