Howdy all
backstory - when i was younger my brother smacked me in the face with a gate (i apparently asked for it???). Long story short the tooth chipped and died and now im bleaching it to whiten it and not be self conscious when i open mouth smile lol
However. Since i started its made my lips so dry and sensitive and theyre cracking in the corners. I stopped 3 days ago and they feel better today but man this sucks.
Im burning through lip balm just to feel something (its not helping) and im also using a mix of rhino repair, sudocream and a skin repairing barrier cream.
Id love any tips if anyone has gone through anything similar :) apologies for the novel haha

Teeth bleaching and sensitive lips?
51 posts, 8 members
Yes! The corners of my mouth crack if I use certain toothpastes, so check those as well. Sodium laurel sulphate seems to be the culprit - its well known for causing this and my skin doesn't like it in general. There are a few toothpastes within different brands that don't use it eg some Sensodyne varieties do, some don't. Best thing for remedying the cracks for me is Lanolips 101 ointment from Mecca. I love the coconutter one (thanks for the tip, Trudi!)
Theyve given me a "tooth moose" (literally how its spelled on the care sheet) and its colgate sensitive something, for the hole to prevent tooth decay i think she said.. idk. But cos my lips are so dumb right now everything is burning them and irritating them more :(
I had some lanolips, the coconut one but it went.. weird hahaha ill pick some up next week, i want to try a different flavor though! Thanks soozie :D

A few thoughts - have you tried using Vaseline on the corners of your lips before you use the whitening stuff so that their is a barrier and it doesn’t get in their to annoy them more? Also second the lanolips balm - I find that stuff fantastic and lasts forever (if you don’t lose it in the bottom of your bag like I do).
I dont have vaseline but i will try with the barrier cream or the sudo once my lips feel better haha
Its also going really well!! I have 2 different concentrates, 22% and 16%, and i started with the 22% - only used it 3 or 4 times but i can already see a difference! Im bleaching it from the inside out (hence the hole) but yeah going well!

The lanolips ointment will work like Vaseline would. Also, I find I subconsciously lick the corners when they are cracked and that makes it worse, so try to be mindful of that! Mecca cosmetica lips deluscious lip balm is also good for maintenance. Don't think I've ever bought one though. I always seem to get them as a freebie.

Hey Shaz my friend. Thanks for your kind words! Time is flying by and I can't believe my sweet girl is a month old already...it's crazy. Things are going really good and I am definitely getting into the swing of things. As we speak she is curled up on my chest and I just love these precious moments <3
It goes way too fast hey!! It sucks but its so fun watching them blossom into their own little bubble of fun. I hope you dont get any of the "well MY baby was doing this and that age..." that really pisses me off haha
Im glad youre doing okay. I had very few people ask how i was actually doing, everyone always cares more about the baby!, so i wanted to check in and see how you were doing. Being a mum is a thankless and unrecognized job sometimes haha
Enjoy your snuggles, beauty x
And maree, youre lovely xx
