Founder here, thank you for opening this up. The pattern I keep coming back to is protection before anything shows: mineral SPF on the lips every morning, sleep protected, wind and cold kept off. Small daily habits move the needle far more than reacting after the fact.
Reapplying after eating is my weak spot, working on it.
Yes, every single time honestly, I think it's the dry cabin air plus barely sleeping that does me in. I've started slathering on balm before boarding and again halfway through and it seems to help a little, but not always.
Yes, every single time, I swear the dry cabin air and not sleeping does something to me because I can feel the tingle before the luggage even comes out. Now I drink way more water on the plane and keep something on my lips the whole flight and it's helped a bit, but honestly I still brace for it after anything over six hours.
Winter is worse for me too, the cold cracks my lips first.
For me the tingle gives me a few hours of warning at most.
Great question, I have wondered the same thing.
Yes, every single time, and I used to think it was just bad luck until I noticed it was always the dry cabin air plus basically no sleep. Now I drink way more water than feels reasonable and keep something on my lips the whole flight, and it helps more often than not.
