Hi
Foreign affairs - my man has that kind of stubble that can wreck your face, even if he has just shaved, making sure my face is moisturised helps massively as it does not chaff, your skin slides as such. i am in the sudeocrem camp for any issues after, that stuff is magic.
Dani - That confuses me a little, even though it seems half logical. I normally have a few weeks a year where the wind gets to my lips and I get bad chapped lips. I then have this rough habit of absent-mindedly chewing the little flaky buts when concentration on something. Well this year i was absent-mindedly chewing away and I pulled a massive layer of skin off, it was raw and to the extent that eating was not worth the bother. Went into boots to the pharmacy and the lady took me around to the Chapsticks and suggested the blue one which is medicated and about ?1. Needless to say I thought it would be useless but tried it anyway. After days of it getting worse and worse, within 24 hours of using it every time it dispersed, it was fine, a little red looking, but fine. if the witch hazel is painful maybe try the medicated blue chapstick (kinda of bluey aqua packaging).
