Or else, did you kiss your dog on the nose? Could have 'dog cooties' growing on your bella lip balm. 💋

Hedge!   hahahahahaha!  Dog cooties!  You're a riot!

Suz585, I wondered the same thing, if I might be allergic.  I believe that Chaz uses his Arnica montana extract in the lip balms, and that is most likely what I am allergic to in the NIBT, so I am being cautious at this point.  I can still use the tinted lip balm, so I hope it's just the one tube of clear balm, which smells funny while the tinted does not, so I hope it's not allergies.  If I start having trouble with the tinted balm, too, I'll have to figure it is indeed allergies, though.  It's a bummer, but at least I can still use some of the CC's and the body lotion, SC, EDTC and RTM.  If I ever became allergic to every WEN formula, I think I'd just shave my head!

Sorry to read of your dilemma.

I was wondering if your cycle of extreme dryness would end if you lay off both the scrub and the pigmented lip treatment for a while, while using just the translucent lip, as a test to narrow down potential allergens.

@CamilleP a I agree, if I ever become allergic to WEN, it's a bald head! 😅

@x Hedge I'll have to try this in November, but with the tinted balm. I know the translucent dries my lips out, but I haven't tried the tinted in a while.

I truly hope my body gets over this hyper sensitivity or allergy, so I can go back to using these products on a regular basis!

@CamilleP  This probably isn't your case, (since you said  the tube in question smelled funny) but a couple years ago I was struggling with dry peeling lips. I read (somewhere) about toothpaste/mouthwash causing this issue. I had used the same toothpaste for a long time, but had added a product for dry mouth..hmmm  It was getting really bad, so I put just a tiny bit of  "lip vaseline" on my outer lips while I brush, etc..then washed it off & used my reg products..I have never had another issue. (didn't want to swtich toothpaste or dry mouth product as they helped my teeth alot)..anyway I have never had another dry lip issue since doing this...

@quadmimi 

thanks for your insight! I don't think this is my issue but I will definitely pay more attention going forward to see if it might be.

@Suz585  Your welcome. I would of never thought of tooth/mouth products bothering my lips..I was trying everything to figure it out. I got a little thingy of the vaseline lip stuff, just coat the outer edges while I brush, rinse, wipe it off, solved my issue after blaming everything else I could think of!.. lol
