Tips for dry Lips 💋

Simple 📝 tips for dealing with dry skin on your lips 💋 and the skin surrounding your lips.

👩🏾‍⚕️ Apply a protective balm or ointment to your lips prior to brushing 🪥your teeth to create a barrier from the drying and potential skin irritating ingredients in your toothpaste.

👩🏾‍⚕️ Orders Matters. Always brush your teeth before you wash your face to make sure there is no residual irritating substance left behind on the skin.

I didn't even think about toothpaste drying out my lips. Thanks for the tip.
I'm glad you said Vaseline because I already have that lol

[soconfused]

Yes!! People think I’m strange because I brush my teeth before washing my face. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great tips! Thinking about switching to non minty toothpaste too.

Yes, I brush my teeth before washing my face. That’s like the very first thing I do before anything else unless I have to use the bathroom. Toothpaste definitely is drying to the lips. I see it doesn’t affect people the same but it makes my lips really dry tho. I believe it’s the fluoride & sulfates(SLS). Good advice..thanks so much. Love this channel❤❤

I heard another derm mention washing before brushing and I was like huh, I wonder why. Thanks for sharing! Curiosity satisfied! Now I make sure I do it in this order.

Excellent tips on the lips because I'm thought that toothpaste and mouthwash would dry the lips 💋. Thanks 😊.

I put on chapstick every night before bed. .works like a charm.

It’s either coconut oil for me at night or Vaseline on the lips. Wake up with soft new lips every time.

Hey Dr Alexis! Do you think you can do a video on your thoughts on everyday bodywashes and body lotions that are commonly used? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the brands Irish Spring soap, Dove bodywash, Ivory, Dial and also body lotions like Vaseline, Suave, Jergens, Bath and body works etc. @dralexisstephens

What are those patches at the bottom of your eyes?

[Asher]

Any kind of whitening toothpaste makes the skin around my mouth so sore.

[ayeshaspillsthetea]
