  1. I learned beeswax is a NO NO for me!! I had no idea it would cause such a mess for not only my lips, but an infection spread around my mouth. I wish I went to the derm immediately… I love Vaseline lip therapy now!

  2. Fun fact: MOST of our ā€œnegativeā€ body conditions start on the INSIDE. If you aren’t consuming water, electrolytes, hydrating foods like fruits and veggies, B VITAMINS (bingo!), etc.. putting topicals on your face will only temporarily mask the problem. ALWAYS assume there is some holistic place you can start with any of your health issues, even if you sometimes have to couple it with other medical advice from your trusted healthcare provider (which is NOT just a physician of sorts). Even in the small chance it’s truly external only, improving your health will have a 10-fold benefit overall. Adding Super B vitamins (also B1/B12) & nutritional yeast and drinking 100% fruit juices and upping my water intake has drastically improved the suppleness of my lips. Oh and I take collagen too.

  3. I don’t know why vaseline, chapstick or any lip balm that has petrolatum/petroleum jelly makes my lips whitish/gray.

    1. ​@manehgharibyan1099 Vanicream lip protection with spf is fantastic ( Dr. Dray approved) of you can find it. Try searching the internet. I’ve been using Palmer’s lip balm spf, O’Keeffe’s Lip Repair SPF 35 Lip Balm Stick. Make sure to check the ingredient list to make sure there’s nothing you’re sensitive too. Hope this helps! Have a great day! šŸ¦‹

    2. @@lilyraiyne9225 thanks for the recommendations! Vanicream isn’t shipped to where I leave, but I will try the O’ Keeffe one. šŸ’›

  4. Vaseline works great for my lips, but it always gets all over my upper lips and chin, and then there are tiny white bumps that look like they have pus inside but are very tiny. What should I do about that, Dr dray?

  5. langeige lip balm needs to be applied every 3 hrs which is weird and disappointing…
    love the mask tho

  6. I used to have severely chapped lips and then I discovered it was actually from mouth breathing, specifically at night. Ever since I started taping my mouth shut at night I do not need chapstick anymore, not even in winter. 😊

  7. Can we learn more about do’s don’ts risks etc w chapsticks? And OMG I WANT PEPTIDE LIP BALM REVIEWS! šŸ’‹

  8. You are the most knowledgeable derm on this platform. You’ve helped me so much this week with my seb derm! I bought some products that have basically cleared it. Thank you xxx
