Shriveled Lip Syndrome

[MisterSpaghetti]

This week marks the first week I've been using original (non-white portion) snus pretty much exclusively. I usually stick to whites, but got a big shipment of Offroad I wanted to try (the licorice is neato, but salty).

Anyway, I've noticed that my upper lip has shriveled more than man-parts in cold water lately and I'd like to know your tips on combating it. I've been drinking lots and lots of water, but it's not really helping. I've noticed that my lip is still a little puckered even when I wake up in the morning after 7+ hours of non-snus time.

Advise me, oh, great ones!

That made me laugh. Anyway, what brand have you been using? Do you move your portions around? I've noticed that if I just let it sit in one place, it get's pretty bad. also, try to switch hit both sides of your mouth to give the other side a break.

I have never had any issues. Then again, I am about 80% whites, other than a few sterks and NEVER chain snus those sterks.

I had that issue at first. It goes away after a while, if you just keep up the routine. It's like getting used to the salt in all snus. A couple of weeks, and you'll be fine.

I'm not sure how bad it is for you, but I do have this issue. Sometimes I go HOURS without snusing so maybe that's why it doesn't bother me.

But yeah, move it around. Maybe start out in different places, and mid snus move it somewhere else.

I wouldn't worry too much about your problem. The inner side of my lip appears dry pretty often, but it never changed my outer-appearance. As well, your mouth will adjust to the irritation and toughen up somewhat.

I was using Gotlands Yellow los awhile back and noticed that the inside of my lip was all cut-up and puckered. At first I thought it was from the grind but what it was really from was pulling or even lightly pushing on the outside of my lip for more flavor.

Your mouth really does toughen up after a mth or so and you will never even remeber the problems you are having now!

Yep, as stated already, your lip will toughen up and get used to it.

I actually still get lip-wrinkle from time to time, but for me it is the whites that do it......I am assuming it's because they are more on the dry side than regulars.

I get this too, not too bad, but also notice when I wake up. It did seem to be less if I brushed my teeth before bed, and ate before bed. Also, I take a portion and place it, both sides on my tongue 1st, wetting both sides before I stick it in.

General does this to me. Guess its the salt. Doesn't really seem as bad anymore.

I used to get this thin always, realised it was from salt, now it´s no longer a problem, as in it doens´t happen anymore, probably because I snus a lot less

I've only had this happen to be with the coarser grind Los. Portions don't really do this for me.

After awhile your mouth gets used to it and it will go away, just like everyone else has said. I too believe it's the salt in the anus that causes it along with how much irritation the physical properties are doing to release that salt into your gums.

Too funny did you mean Anise I think the snus in the anus was another thread.. LOL

Actually sounds like a case of iPhone incorrectitis --- I read somewhere
in one of these forums that iPhone has a tendency to change snus to
anus unless you add snus to the dictionary.
