How do I get rid of red outlined dry lips And what is it that I have....?

I have had this problem for the last 3 years. My lips turn red, get really dry, and get a red outline. I've tried vaseline and blistex and all sorts of chapsticks but they only work for a little. Is this a disease or something? I really want to get rid of it. I know licking my lips is bad for it, too.How do I get rid of red outlined dry lips And what is it that I have....?
The cold, dry air of winter can take a toll on your skin -- especially on the lips.





Here are suggestions to help protect your lips from painful drying and chapping, courtesy of the U.S. National Library of Medicine:





Drink plenty of fluids to keep your skin well-hydrated.


Protect and treat lips with a beeswax lip balm or petroleum jelly.


Keep a humidifier running in your home to prevent the air from becoming too dry.


Apply sunscreen to your lips.


Avoid too much exposure to the sun or wind.How do I get rid of red outlined dry lips And what is it that I have....?
Same thing happens to me. I use vaseline and put it on before I go to bed every night for a week or two. Yeah, dont lick your lips, thats what makes it red. You could probabyl get some over the counter medicine to help it heal.

Is the mac see through cheek stain safe for lips?

i know there's a lip version too but is the cheek one safe for lips?Is the mac see through cheek stain safe for lips?
i'm pretty sure it is, because the stain must have similar ingredients. just don't overdo the stain on your lips, and be careful. don't lick your lips, and just don't ingest it by accident.Is the mac see through cheek stain safe for lips?
I am sure anything going on your face is safe :P





It should be okay :P
any make up with the word ';stain'; in it, is not something you want to use because that's exactly what it does, it stains and if you wear it too often it will leave blotchy stain on your face

Is it normal to have really dry lips after a lip piercing?

Read title.Is it normal to have really dry lips after a lip piercing?
If you're cleaning your piercing a lot, then yes. If it's really cold outside, then definitely!Is it normal to have really dry lips after a lip piercing?
Not really to do with a lip piercing, but the cold weather WILL dry your lips. Invest in a chapstick and put it on your lips 2-3 times a day.

  • Burning sensation in lips due to allergies?

    Does anyone know any cure/medication that I can use to get rid of a burning sensation in my lips? This is due to allergies because of the time of year again. I haven't found a chap stick or anything that works, and it's really beginning to hurt. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Burning sensation in lips due to allergies?
    Use Arsenic Album 30 three doses a day for one day. Repeat it weekly for four weeks one dose a week. If it is an annual feature.


    If the lip is bright red, dry and burning, use three doses of Sulphur 30.


    There is no allergy. Your liver is slightly imbalanced, and both the medicines suggested are capable of correcting it. One dose is three globules.





    with best wishes.





    Medicines should be used in consultation with a homeo doctor.Burning sensation in lips due to allergies?
    Yeah, I know what you mean but that's 'cause I'm allergic to ALL types of chapsticks besides Vaseline- which I recommend! What you do is basically put an ice pack over your lips for a while. It cools down that burning and feels good too :) That's the only remedy I use to help with the burning and put on Vaseline on my lips.

    I got some of the aspirin mask on my lips?

    I was doing an aspirin mask on my face and some of it got on my lips and when I washed my face off my lips in the part that had the aspirin mask was lighter in color. Please, can you tell me what happened? How long will it take to go back to normal..? What should I do?I got some of the aspirin mask on my lips?
    aspirin masks are dangerous, and they do bleach th skin. most likely it's going to change back to regular color in a couple of weeks, but if not, the change is permanent. see a doctor.

    I heard that wearing lipstick everyday will turn the lips dark. Will herbal lipstick help to avoid?

    the lips turning black or dark.I heard that wearing lipstick everyday will turn the lips dark. Will herbal lipstick help to avoid?
    You heard wrong. Lipstick is a cosmetic ingredient it does not penetrate into the dermis, therefore it will not turn your lips dark. Even longwearing formulas only last 6-8 hours. The only thing that can turn your lips darker permanently is tattooing and genetics.I heard that wearing lipstick everyday will turn the lips dark. Will herbal lipstick help to avoid?
    This isn't true unless your lipstick contains permanent dyes or lead, in which case you would also get lead poisoning.
    Use Burt's Bees. It natural and it makes your lips feel really good. Get the chap stick, but it has colour.
    never heard of this. I wear lipstick everyday for +10 years and there has been no change.
    thats just a myth.

    Can I use Woltra Cocoa Butter stick on my lips?

    My lips are extremely dry and are cracking, and I don't have any decent chapstick to use. I heard that some people do put cocoa butter on their lips, but I'm too much of a wimp to try it :(





    The ingredients of the cocoa butter I use are Theobroma Cocoa Butter and Seed Butter. Is this okay for my lips?Can I use Woltra Cocoa Butter stick on my lips?
    Yes it's fine to use on your lips.

    Will i die from kissing my dog on the lips?

    Will i?Will i die from kissing my dog on the lips?
    NOOOOO!!!!Will i die from kissing my dog on the lips?
    First of all, why would you kiss your dog on the lips? I don't believe you will die, but you might get the bacteria that was on your dog's lip.
    I'm sorry for saying this but you make bread seem smarter than you. And of course you won't die from kissing your dog on the lips.
    ewwwwwwww no you will not die i have kissed dogs and frogs before im alive and well talking to u bout ur question right now! you WILL not die!
    Of couse not. Who in the world told you that. A dog is supposed to have the cleanest mouth of any animal. It is a know fact, that if you have a sore that doesn't heal, let a dog lick it, and it will go away.
    I sure hope so!
    no, but i hope you didnt kiss it on purpose that is wrong
    No, but the dog might.
    you won't die but you could get intestinal worms. if your dog has worms. they - and this is really gross!!! - pop out the rear end long enough to lay their eggs outside the dog's body, so now there's dog butt worm eggs, then doggie goes to clean back there and you know how dogs clean themselves so then you go to kiss him and you suddenly got worms. it won't kill you, but it's not necessarily a smart idea.
    Um no. Dogs like giving kisses.
    I kiss my dog on the lips (do dogs have lips?) all the time and obviously I'm not dead. At least I don't think I am.
    hope not..i shoulda been dead years back if thats the case xx
    He he, I'm alive and having the 2 points, thank u.
    As a veterinarian, I can say honestly that you will surely be dead within a day or so due to the plethora of serious illnesses that a dog carries in and around the mouth area. I would suggest that, if you survive, you kiss your dog directly on the anus from now on.
    No. But kissing a cat is fatal.
    no. why do you think that?


    cuhz of saliva? well if you didnt kno, dogs mouths are cleaner than peoples.

  • Why do my lips feel swollen when I wake up?

    Could this have something to do with my anxiety?Why do my lips feel swollen when I wake up?
    Yes, it probably does. When your oxygen levels go up too high, you can get facial and extremity numbness.Why do my lips feel swollen when I wake up?
    When you are sleeping, your body starts to become dehydrated because you are not drinking anything for a long period of time. This will make your lips feel swollen. Try drinking a glass of water when you first wake up, and that feeling should go away quickly. This happens to everyone to some degree; it depends on how much their body is hydrated before they go to sleep. I would guess that you don't drink a lot of plain water or don't drink a lot between dinner and bedtime. Hope this helps :)
    thts natural, it happns wd evrybdy less or more.......


    coz whn sleeping d muscles get relaxd, let it b of anywher, so they r actually relaxd....so dnt worry dear.......
    Perhaps you chew on your lips in your sleep?

    Why are my lips peeling just in the middle part?

    I have this problem with my lips, is actually just the upper lip in the middle part. for some reason every other day my upper lip creates a white crust that keeps falling off and keeps coming back and all this happens without pain. It doesn't hurt or turns red it just appears the next day. One day my lip is normal and the next day the tip of my lip turns white. This is very uncomfortable because I don鈥檛 know the reason why it keeps happening. Does anybody know how to treat this or the causes for this? Thank you in advance for all your help.Why are my lips peeling just in the middle part?
    if you live where there are cold winters... then I think its just cuz the temperature is getting colder and lips get dry and chap this time of the season. use lip balm!

    How should I treat 2nd degree burns on my lips? Will chapstick help?

    The doctor gave me Silver Sulfadaine for the burns on the outside of my face but didnt tell me how to treat my lips. They are very hard and cracking any time I move them (ie to eat) The swelling has gone down but they are still very red/black under the hard casing. Can I use chapstick to keep them softer while healing or is this bad?How should I treat 2nd degree burns on my lips? Will chapstick help?
    I would stick with the Silver Sulfadine and maybe aloe. Better check with the doctor though. I definitely wouldn't put chap stick on them without checking first. It is so thick and waxy.How should I treat 2nd degree burns on my lips? Will chapstick help?
    Without checking with your doc, I would not use ANYTHING with any kinds of chemicals in it- no Chapstick, no Vaseline, no whipped cream, no Aloe Vera, etc. Too many chemicals can actual inhibit the healing of the tender tissues.





    It is never a good idea to put was, grease, oil, petroleum, etc. on burns without a doctors orders anyway- the stuff traps in heat and is not good for new tissue.





    Ask your doctor's office or nurse.
    Chapstick helps everything. Seriously.
    You can vaslen on it .......
    Try using heavy whipping cream from the grocers dairy case. My friend tried this and she didn't have any scarring afterwards. Good luck. P.S. make sure the cream is liquid form not cool whip but in milk like container.

    Why do some people kiss their pets on the lips ?

    That's very gross !Why do some people kiss their pets on the lips ?
    I agree. i have seen where my dogs mouth has been.Why do some people kiss their pets on the lips ?
    look i love my cats...and i loved my cat kittie 'que descanse en paz'





    but my cats know not to kiss me or anyone on the lips...i'm throwing up in my own mouth right now...i know where that dog/cat mouth has been...why do i want to be next?





    dag violin, what are you so angry about...she just ask a question!! chill go kiss your cats get back to happy
    i kiss my dog on the lips but i hold her mouth closed so she can't lick me. i also kiss both of my horses' lips. they're soft and they tickle me? same reason why you kiss my parents/ girl/ boyfriends/ spouse/ anyone else on lips!, cuz you luv em so darn much!
    well some people think of there pets as family members my cat is 17 years old hes our family member lol but its not as gross as alot of people think just think of things that people put in there mouths somethings are alot grosser then kissing a pet! think about it lol and people with roachs have pots and pans and dishes with roach eggs on them ...now thats gross.. and roach legs they eat and dont even know it eww now thats gross .....
    It's not really that gross, especially considering what people eat in this day and age eg frogs, snails etc. I kiss Tasha (one of my pups) and my guinea pigs on their heads not their lips, but one of my pups; Jack is a different story. Most of the time I can get him on his head before he does anything, but several times you go to kiss him (so your lips are in the pouted position) and he jumps up and licks you (most of the time getting your lips). That is pretty gross but it is really funny.
    Because thats some ways ppl show they love animals. Theres nothing wrong with it. Some ppl eat food off the ground, I think thats gross but they still do it.
    My cats have been inside since the moment I got them. They eat Blue Buffalo brand food, have baths every 4 months, and are very clean. If you have a problem with me kissing my cats on the lips you can just look the other way!

    What's are good lipglosses for filipino pigmented lips?

    I'm filipino and i'm dark skinned but i have big, very red pigmented lips. i'm really into that baby pink nudeish color. i was wondering what lipgloses or lipsticks are good that make my lips that color without looking all flakey and weird looking. i was kinda looking towards nars orgasm and turkish delightWhat's are good lipglosses for filipino pigmented lips?
    OMG NARS Orgasm is like 24 bucks girl, don't do it lol. Just buy a ';nude shaded'; lip stick (try nyc, they're cheap like 99 cents! try their long wear lip sticks, they're pretty good and last a while, just that their packaging SUCKS :) to kinda ';numb'; the color, and use a baby pink gloss over it. I recommend Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment in Brilliant Blush or in any other light pink colors. Their only about 5 bucks and add GREAT shine and glam lol.





    But I would loooove to have naturally red pigmented lips lol.

    Yes that happens with Blacks who smoke so I'm


    figuring you must have some pigment to your skin.

    I would try lemon juice or a fade cream.If you use

    Why do some girls wear foundation on their lips?

    i dont know if its happening at your school, but girls are now wearing foundation on their lips, i mean since when was foundation for lips?! lol its for your skin





    does anyone else have this at their school, and does anyone know why?





    the only reason i could think why they're doing it is because they want their lips to look paler, but i dont know really... any ideas?Why do some girls wear foundation on their lips?
    Well it is used to go under lip gloss to keep it from 'bleeding' and to last longer. If it is used on lips without anything else it isn't flattering, makes you look like a corpse and will dry lips outWhy do some girls wear foundation on their lips?
    Yes a few do it at my school,


    but there is this group of lasses in the year below me,


    and the use loooads on their lips, it looks terrible,





    But i admit i sometime wear a bit of concealer on my lips,


    because sometimes my lips look too red, and so the concealer makes them look a tad paler,


    however i use clear lipgloss over, so my lips don't look dry,


    because putting foundation/concealer on your lips make them look really dry!!





    xo
    Omg!! They do it at my school too!!





    It just looks stupid, but me and my friends were talking and discovered that on latest fashion shows, the models have been wearing really light beige coloured lipgloss, which looks good on them. But then when people try to copy it using foundation it just looks stupid. It makes their lips look dry and cracked because the foundation shows every single outline of their lips.





    The lipgloss versions of pale lipgloss are good but foundation just takes the mick out of make-up tbh and those people who do it should not be allowed to wear make-up lol





    Sorry if it's ranting a bit, but some girls can pull it off, but most of them just look silly.
    Okay, if you apply it lightly, it can be a quick and easy nude lip, where you can top it with a nice nude or peach colored gloss and it looks gorgeous. But if someone applies it and it matches the rest of their face, they're mental.





    Some use this as a base/primer so when they apply their lipstick it will have much better staying power, similar to filling in your lips with a nude/clear lipliner.
    yh they do it at mine but they only do it becuase they have too much foundation on the brush or something


    because sometimes i do it but then i add chap stick and it seems to stay on better maybe that's why but anyway


    i add chaptick and then some shiny lipgloss stays on and looks fab


    you should try it xx
    Wearing foundation on your lips is fine, and can be done to simply give your lips a more neutral/skin tone appearance. OTherwise, this can be used to even out the lips first, and then be topped off by a coloured gloss. it is just personal preference.
    hahaa I do it... So i guess im a retard :] lmao.... im kl with that thou i do it because my lips are really red... foundation tones them down to blend in more with my skin tone. i use aloe vera vaseline when im about to go to sleep, it's so us retards dont get dry lips :)
    Using your foundation on your lips creates the nude lip that flatters you the best. Nude lips are really in this spring/summer and using your foundation to do it is cheap and easy.
    pale lips are just more sexier! also it will take attention off your lips and more to your eyes! but you could always just buy a pale lipstick, because you know its for your lips not your skin. that what i do :]
    its because sometimes pale lips can look much more sexy


    and girls are just starting to like it nowadays (:
    they'll be adding it too their teeth soon so it all blends in lol - no idea why they're doing it. possibly for the pale look like someone above said.
    yea i see the same thing at my school. they want to go for the nude lips look. they dont realize that there are lip glosses that offer the nude look
    If you put foundation on your lips then it makes your lipstick and lip gloss last longer.
    That what happen to my school.
    because their retards who want dry lips :)

    My girlfriend lets her little dog lick her lips. Often she wants to kiss me after. Is this normal?

    I think it's really gross she makes out with her dog, But she doesn't care because she loves that dog. I like pretty much everything about her but she won't budge on this one issue. What would you do?My girlfriend lets her little dog lick her lips. Often she wants to kiss me after. Is this normal?
    Just tell her that it bothers you, lol, that's disgusting.My girlfriend lets her little dog lick her lips. Often she wants to kiss me after. Is this normal?
    yeah that sounds pretty gross. if that was me.. and i really liked him (since im not lesbian) then i would just tell him that it bothered me and tell him what he does in his own time is his business but to not do it around me. (in a somewhat nicer way though) i myself am a dog lover but i do not let them lick my mouth. you can also try avoiding going to her place.
    I think its cute, but if you wouldn't let the dog lick you on the lips then I wouldn't kiss her. If she does, just say, ';Oh you have something on your lips'; or ';I'd rather not kiss you after you kiss the dog, just my opinion';.
    She loves her dog, but i see where your coming from. Just let her know that when she plans on kissing you, that she on dog kissing rehab.
