Kayla gets such dry, cracked lips during the winter - and it doesn't help that she constantly licks them! She just makes it worse. I put Chapstick on her lips in the morning and just hope for the best.
So when Mom Central was looking for bloggers to participate in Neosporin's 3-Day Challenge I signed up hoping this would help repair Kayla's lips!
We tried the Daily Hydration Therapy and the Overnight Renewal Therapy. Both of these products are clinically proven to give you visibly healthy lips in just 3 days.
Here are Kayla's lips before we started using the products. She had a pretty deep split in her top lip.
After 3 days I didn't notice much of a difference in the split on her lip. But to be fair, she's had that for most of the winter so I'm sure it would take more than 3 days of using something to clear it up!
She also has a habit of licking her lips throughout the day so I know the product didn't stay on all day and I couldn't reapply it.
She also licks her bottom lip as well as bringing her bottom lip inside her mouth - and you can see the dry patch right under her bottom lip.
Her lips weren't as scaly and dry after using the products, I could see and feel that they were smoother.
After using the products for about 2 weeks there is finally some improvement on the split; it is filling in and doesn't look so deep and painful anymore.
I think it would have a better chance of working if she would leave her lips alone!
I didn't take any pictures of my lips, but I tried the product too and my lips did feel more hydrated and moisturized, definitely not dry like they usually do during these winter months!

Sigh- skin care is a constant battle but what I do for Kayli is this- I use a HOT steam humidifier all night (I've tried the cold ones- don't do squat for me). I use Aquaphor thick at night for lips. For the chin- it is the moisture that creates that chapped looking spot under the lip- I use diaper cream at night, a thin cover under the whole lip, with Aquaphor liberally applied over it. Then I cover her cheeks with Aquaphor. If she's really bad I do the same but way more lightly so as not to look weird, in the morning. It has worked well for me. I do it as long as the heat is on, don't need it at all in the summer!
I never use neosporin because of the antibacterial stuff unless I think it's infected. Hope that is helpful! Hugs.
Katie had the same thing happen to her! it happened ever winter. i had her put vaseline on it before she would go out. that helped a lot with her.
her lips look great.
Her lips look a lot better. We use vaseline right now. Wysdom is not really out much so we don't have a major problem. I know you can also use coconut oil from the health store. hugs.
Lip split or not, she is sooooo beautiful. :)
