DAMAGED LIPS AND FOUND OUT I HAVE ECZEMA?!

Back in 2018, I was looking for a cleanser that is affordable yet good and I came across a certain Japanese cleanser and I bought it. (Definitely regretted my choice)

When I first tried it, I love it so much because my face have little to no oil after using the cleanser.

After a week of using, I realised my lips start to feel irritated and there’s even pus and blood 😵‍💫 I searched for the nearest dermatologist, and he gave me antibiotics for my lips, it did improved. But afterwards it came back 😭

I decided to go Changi General Hospital and was told to do patch test found that I’m slightly allergic to Tert-butylhyroquinone 🤯 it’s sad that I cannot use any lipstick anymore 😩 (ok I did try once in awhile when my eczema wasn’t at its peak)

I had become very cautious when trying out new skincare products and makeup!

Here are some safe products that I use to repair my lips!

-Cetaphil Cleanser ( I swear by it, super gentle and it can use to clean my face and my 🐱 )

- Cetaphil Moisturiser cream ( Tried the lotion but it’s not as thick as the cream )

- Vaseline lip therapy lip balm ( easy to bring it around and super moisturising )

I always apply lip balm after meals! After brushing my teeth and after meals since these are the time when my lips get super dry!

I also apply a thick lip balm before going to bed to protect my lips from getting dried in an air-conditional room!
