This has been happening to me. I just put a lot of Vaseline on my lips throughout the day
Chronic "grass is always greener" syndrome
When cleaning up the house, I found this small tube of Vaseline Lip Therapy (original) in a drawer. Probably my SLI ex bought it, and she was an expert at keeping her skin moisturized. She also had a knack for finding the best of everything. This stuff is not expensive but it works great.
And the small tube size means it fits in my travel case. You never know, when you are crossing the Kalahari, when you might need lip moisturizer.
Vaseline can help heal chapped lips, but it's also good to make sure you are drinking plenty of water and not to lick, pick, or bite them while they heal. Your house may be too dry and you may want to buy a humidifier for your bedroom. There are other lip balms out there that are more effective than just petroleum jelly. If you have cracked dry lips buy a lip scrub and a lip balm for the healing process.
I can recommend the gentle cream exfoliant from dermalogica. They're a bit pricey but non-abrasive but still gentle enough. It might have been discontinued? I have a few bottles of these in my bathroom.
I have a skincare routine, but the thing that really helps my skin is drinking lots of water and doing routine exercises that make me sweat a lot (like running).

which burts bees lip balm have you been using? I started using this one morning/night/several times a day, and it’s been working for me better then their other chap sticks. I also have these two I like quite a bit, use them here and there….

I’m so distraught…seriously
I found a routine that was really working for me. I had to change it up since my last post since I was still getting broken out . I think it was either the Bliss vitamin c moisturizer, or the Bliss Glycolic Polyhydroxy Acid. I discontinued both for a while, and my face cleared up. So now I have a new routine that hasn’t been breaking me out yet and is clearing up my face.
So I have been using St. Ives Lemon and Mandarin Facial Scrub~ I’ve tried a shit ton of facial scrubs, cheap and expensive, and so far this one is my favorite. I actually have been using this on my whole body first and foremost, and my face, in the shower and scrubbing with an organic Egyptian loofah mit. The scrub is pretty gritty and rough~ might be too much for some, and the Egyptian loofah is hard-ish, and I was like ‘whaaaaatttt’ at first lol, but it softens once it gets wet.
Then I use my favorite, I will never live without, Soap and Glory Vitamin C Facial Wash (seriously my favorite product), on my face. Then I put Burts Bees Lavender and Honey body wash on the Egyptian loofa and wash down with that.
Before bed I’ve been using Glow Recipe Avocado Retinol Sleeping Mask ONLY. My face hasn’t been breaking out, and now I really really like it. BUT (here’s the distraught part)…I got online to order some more…discontinued….DISCONTINUED!!! How will I live??? Lol. I found some on eBay, and I’m considering it
I also put on burts bees lavender and honey lip butter before bed and when I wake up and really anytime I’m at home and I notice my lips are dry
In the morning I wash my face with my beloved Soap and Glory Vitamin C face wash. Then I swipe my face down with Burts Bees calming toner. Then I put on Bliss glow and hydrate Niacinamide & Hyaluronic Acid Day serum. But I really want to try Glow recipes hyaluronic serum…just afraid to change things up now lol
…Then I put on PUR 4-in-1 Tinted Moisturizer. Some mascara, which I still havent found one I love, concealer if need be (need to find a better one) and burts bees blush basin satin lipstick (a light pinkish nude color) and tree hut sugar lips lip butter over it.
So far this is really working out for me, but everyone’s skin is different, just have to find a routine that worksThink I’m on maybe day 6 of this, so we’ll see

My skin is fine after using it but my wife's dries out a lot.

It’s a holy grail!it deserved to be praised!

(also always love hearing about your skincare recommendations yo)
So I’ve switched some things up
now I’m washing my face morning and night, first using a gentle exfoliater (st. Ives gentle smoothing scrub, rose water & aloe), followed by soap and glory vitamin c facial wash, then I use a toner (burts bees rose water toner). Then I put on a vitamin c & hyaluronic serum (Derma-E), and vitamin c eye cream. I was trying CeraVe eye repair cream, but it didn’t seem to do shit. It was my first CeraVe product and I wasn’t impressed. I was thinking about getting the CeraVe facial wash, and I’ll prob still try it because of good reviews, but….yeah…not nearly as excited or enthusiastic about it now. But the last few days I’ve been using left overs of sweet chef turmeric & vitamin c eye cream, and when I got it, I didn’t think it did shit either, but now I think maybe it was after trying the ceraVe eye cream. It seems to do better anyway. I went to target looking for Bliss Assured Dark Circle Reducing Depuffing Eye Cream. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find it, so I grabbed Pacifica Glow Baby Bright Eye Cream. I really wanted to try it because I’ve loved every single one of the bliss products I’ve tried before. I’ve only tried Pacifica body spray so far. I was thinking of taking back the Pacifica after I realized I had been looking in the wrong aisle, but maybe I’ll just keep it and try it. I haven’t decided yet lol.
anyway, after I let all this shit set on my face, I’ve been putting on. La Roche-Posey Lipikar Balm for body & face. I was pretty hesitant to put it on my face at first, but dear god!!! Best moisturizer I’ve ever tried, for the body or face. I haven’t had ANY dry skin on my face since I’ve been using it and it hasn’t made me break out at all. Now I want to try everything La Roche-Posey. But I’ve found a routine that hasn’t been breaking my face out at all and it hasn’t been getting dry at all. I might have to switch it up when it gets warmer out. Idk. The only problem I have with the moisturizer is that it leaves the face really shine and if you don’t let it sit for a few hours, and put makeup on, it causes my makeup to pill.
I also switched the burts bees out for Vaseline rosy lips. And if I put it on whenever I feel my lips getting dry- no dry lips at all.
so Vaseline rosy lips
and La Roche-Posey Lipkar Balm
——> new face products I’ve tried
i Really want to try Sunday Riley Luna & Good Genes
and Paulas Choice Toner
and some of this the Ordinary and Tula products
My skin is highly sensitive. Mechanical methods to exfoliate my face put me in a lot of pain. Using face scrubs containing acids and other detergents is out of the question because I am allergic to many chemical ingredients found in skin-treating products. I discovered a soap containing ground oats to be effective. I buy mine at https://mildsoaps.com/hypoallergenic-sensitive-skin/, it is hypoallergenic, and it treats my skin in the best way possible.

I have a spreadsheet of product reviews.
In the past I've noted that claims made by various products about skin health, appearance etc. don't hold up to scrutiny, but not especially cared for the specific details because it hasn't been a topic of interest. I mean, it's nice to have skin that's healthy and looks good, but it's just not something I think about on a daily basis. This may in large part due to being male.
A person I regularly watch on Youtube regarding health matters is Dr Brad Stanfield - he seems legit to me (on topics I care about, on the details he mentions, they seem to check out, and he likes to cite the sources for his claims using data that has at some degree of validity. Anyway, regarding skin matters, he personally takes 15 grams of collagen (via a smoothie), and 200mg of hyaluronic acid (consumed orally). Such a daily dose of hyaluronic acid is going to be easier for people to take simply because the quantity is much smaller. I don't take either myself, but those are what I'd focus on if I especially cared about my skin.
Anyway, you might be interested in these two videos (and the research papers linked in each video's description):

Edit: the best cleanser I've used so far is Eucerin pH5 Huile de Douche Peau Sèche et Sensible. It is on the pricy side if it is used as a shower gel but I only use it as a face wash (i get the 1L). Very inoffensive. Using a cotton pad soaked with Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellair Water (which is just as unoffensive) I make sure everything has been removed and it always comes clear even though a certain mascara + setting spray combo can be tricky.

@Subteigh
another probable source of reliable information is Lab Muffin and The Beauty Brains, although the latter focuses on cosmetic products in general, mostly with the theme of invalidating dubious claims. I recommend these sources as they often tend to cite dermatological and cosmetic research.
If anti-aging is the goal of skincare, vitamin A topicals (retinoids) seemingly have the most well-established benefits. In short, retinoids stimulate collagen production, reduce collagen loss, catalyze quicker skin cell turnover, etc.For those who may be interested, here is a comprehensive guide to tretinoin (probably the most commonly prescribed retinoid).
However, sunscreen is arguably the most important skincare product in terms of its substantial benefits.

P.S.
For better skin should help physical training (this improves the coming of substances), some meal as suflower oil (2-3 table spoons per day), fruits/salads having vitamins C and A, enough of water. This will improve all of skin look, not just some places. It's safe approach.
Women after 45 may use sex hormones. But it arises health risks.
Sun quickly ages the skin. Can be used hats if you don't want this. Or do not present much on sun.
Natural human body resource is up to ~40 years. It's doubtful to look "good" with this coming.
The better accent is to support health and productivity, including by reducing risks. Not the look. If you are healthy and in good energy - you'll give good impression by your "look".

It seems that buying ingredients in powder form instead of serums is a good idea. Higher value for money, no preservatives (i mainly keep an eye out for phenoxyethanol) and longer shelf life. And ofc easier to adjust quantities to one's own skintype. Niacinamide, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, zinc oxide, vitamin c are easy to find.
I wash my face with water very well. And that is pretty much all. Enough to get tons of attn. I get it that it's different for women but what can I say I have great facial features, style and skin.
I bought some of these natural Japanese soaps on a whim. Pretty good stuff.
I love this post lmao

Everyone's skin is unique, so what works for one might not work for another. It's all about finding your skincare groove!
My routine is pretty chill - cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen are my daily MVPs. Can't skip those, right? I'm all about ingredients like hyaluronic acid for hydration and niacinamide to keep things balanced.On the flip side, I'm not a fan of overly fragranced products – they can be a bit much. As for skincare YouTubers, I've got a couple of faves for tips and tricks.Oh, and if you're into the anti-wrinkle game, you might wanna check out Argireline. It's like the low-key hero that's worth a look.
