Dryness around the lip area

Do you guys experience dryness and irritation around the lip area? My lips are prone to dryness and irritation especially when I use retinol, so what I do is apply petroleum jelly around my lip before applying retinol. What are your lip care to prevent or treat your lips?

I Do At This Time Of Year, So I Switch To A More Intense Balm. I Would Start Applying Lip Balm Daily, And If You Need It Through The Day Too xx💕

I also use lip balm everyday, I’m quite picky with lip balms too as some gave me contact dermatitis around the lip area.

I use a lip mask or an extra hydrating lip balm that helps hydrate while I sleep. And I make sure to use a lip exfoliant at least once or twice a week then apply the lip balm/mask. Usually, just mix some sugar with a bit of honey.

I had some bad experience with lip mask, some irritated my lips even more. So I settled with rich moisturizer and pretroleum

I use Vaseline Lip Therapy as my main lip moisturizer and it usually works pretty well for me. But I also have to be mindful of what I’m eating… if I eat something acidic like citrus fruits or tomato, it can really irritate and dry out my lip area. I usually rinse my mouth area and reapply moisturizer after eating certain foods.

Yes, particularly the left corner of my mouth. I really like the Glossier Balm Dotcom. It's also what I use on my lips every night and I always wake up with some still left on my lips. I've also used some on my eyelids when I used Tret too close to them before. I also really like this d'Alba urea First Serum Spray. It's fragrant, but it doesn't irritate me. I like it throughout the day. If my skin gets really dry and flaky, I'll use the Ample:N Hyaluron Shot Emulsion. I mostly avoid putting Tret too close to my lips these days.
