Dry lips

[stew.12]

Whenever I'm out snusing, my lips get really chapped. I assume it's from the salt content, does this happen to everybody?

[Xobeloot]

Yep. I carry chap-stik for this very reason.

[bakerbarber]

I never have this problem. It may be from mouth breathing with your snus.

I've found that anyone I know that uses chapstick never stops. I can see using something when I need it maybe in the winter for me.

Chapstick seemed to make my lips worse when I stopped using it. So I never touch the stuff now.

I've seen the same thing with 'habitual chapstick' usage. I always thought it was bizarre and borderline obnoxious, but I'm sure others might feel the same about my habits...

I cant say that I've reached "habitual" chapstick use, but I definately keep it handy. Living in this heat coupled with somewhat regular lip-licking due to snus use can cause one heck of a split lip. If my lips start gettin dry, I get a preemptive strike before I have to spend the next 2 weeks trying to heal cracked lips.

When I started I used to get really dry lips but it just went away over time.

[GenuineSpirit]

I can say that I have not experienced dried lips, and I chain snus most of the day. As echoed, are you breathing more out of your mouth than nose?

[bakerbarber]

AHHHH!!

Been freezing here the last few days. Few inches of snow. Furnace been running.

Now my upper lip split a bit right in the damn middle. Making my snus burn like Satan's wrath.

Feels like cruel irony.

I think xobloot needs to stop licking his lips and/or falling asleep with the Phantom Blue los in his mouth.

Well, I have never had a problem with chapped lips because of snus. I think chapstick could be fine in the short run. I think wet lips are too womanly to continue using CS in the long run :twisted:

to paraphrase zz top..."every girl's crazy bout a wet-lipped man."

My mouth dries out more than my lips.

[airwoodstock]

My lips got dry when I began to use lös but, never did when I used portions. I figured it was because the pris is thicker than the portion and, would keep my lips from coming together. This caused me to breathe thru my mouth which, dried them out.

As my lip stretched a bit, I could close them and the dry lips stopped.

[Pus]

Rarely happens.

[Lanci3250]

Chapstick is just wax. I would recommend blistex lip medex- It has medication to actually heal chapped lips and is the only thing I use.

The best solution is to increase your water intake, and it will make you feel healthier too

I need a chapstick once or twice in a year, but never in conjunction with snus-use, more due to cold weather.

Cheers!
