This is what someone wrote about the japanese treatment:
My understanding of Monsterlips' treatment was: A) no ointments/ balms etc, B) Clean lip surface at least daily with natural soap, C) Leave detaching skin on there as long as possible: no forceful peeling
Looks like the only thing different is cleeaning daily with natural soap - if there is some kind of infection, this would probably be good - but I wonder if the crusts come off faster?
