I think we have to keep our lips moist in order for it to heal faster. When I mean keep them moist I don't mean grab some lipbalm and smother it all over your lips. It is proven that scabs...if we were to consider this layer a scab heals faster under moisture. Therefore I am currently right now taking hot showers and letting the steam touch my lips and am applying pure honey to my lips as honey kills any bacteria on the lips and promotes faster cell regenration.
Some people have said that steam has really helped them and this probably is the reason why. What do you guys all think? Keep it moist by applying light layer of honey or letting it get some steam.
