Morning routine check, what does yours look like?
Trying to tighten mine up. Right now it is water, SPF lip balm, done. What do you all do first thing to stay ahead of flares?

Mine is honestly just coffee, a quick look in the mirror to check my lip for any tingling, and balm on before I even brush my teeth, though I still forget it some days and regret it by noon.
Mine is pretty boring honestly, I just make sure my lips get something on them before I even have coffee, because the mornings I forget are always the ones I end up paying for later that week.
Honestly mine is just coffee, then lip balm before I even step outside, and I still forget it half the time when I'm running late. The days I remember are the days I feel a little less on edge about it, so I'm trying to leave it right next to my keys.
Alex from Labisan here. You are not alone with this, it is far more common than people admit. The most reproducible lever for most of us is UV, so a daily mineral SPF lip balm plus steady sleep is where I would start. Log what you notice and the pattern usually shows itself.
