I'm starting Week 5 of my protocol. My lips are still smooth. There has been no hardening or peeling at all. The skin of my lips feels strong, and there's no more sensitivity. They look and feel practically normal. The only way to tell that there was something wrong, is that the area that was affected is a deeper pink, but you'll have to look very closely to see it. I expect that this will also go back to normal eventually. Although I like the nice deep pink color because my lips have always been very pale. :)

This is the week when I will test my protocol by not doing it and see what happens. However, even if I stop, I intend to apply the Lansinoh if I have to go out when it's cold and windy here. Everyone should protect their lips when going out in cold weather.

For those who have not been following what I'm doing, please read the details here:

I'll continue to keep you posted.
