Cold weather + lots of chapstick = clogged pores around my lips.

ugh - what can I do about this?!

i KNOW it's from the chapstick, but I can't eliminate the chapstick, so what do i do about these pores?

I made the mistake of "extracting" one on my own last night and gave myself a fat swollen lip. smart!

Other than just standard face scrub concentrated in that area a bit more, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Cold weather + lots of chapstick = clogged pores around my lips.

Are you putting the chapstick all over your entire lip? This was happening to me... so now I only put it on the middle of my lips... it bleeds out a bit to cover my entire lip. When I was putting it on my entire lip it was bleeding past my lip onto my skin which then causes the clogged pores..

I'll try - but usually I'm pretty good at keeping it from the ends!

I steamed my face tonight and extracted some of the gross lip things, then put witch hazel on to soothe but not clog.

We'll see how it goes in the morning!

Thanks!

I have the same problem. I know I put too much on. It goes through phases.
