Anyone else avoid lipstick and lip gloss now because of what it might trigger?

Yes, same here, I basically quit gloss a couple winters ago after one too many flare ups showed up right after a night out wearing it. Honestly I kind of miss it, so if anyone has found something that doesn't set them off I'd love to hear.

Thank you for sharing. For most people the biggest lever is daily sun protection on the lips, even on cloudy days.

Yes, me too, I basically retired my whole lipstick drawer after one too many flare ups that seemed to show up right after a night out wearing gloss. These days I stick to the plainest balm I can find and honestly I miss the color, but not the week of hiding behind my hand.

Honestly yes, I went almost a year without touching gloss because I got paranoid about anything sticky sitting on my lips all day, and I still only wear it when I know I'm not run down or stressed.

Honestly yes, I went almost two years without touching gloss because I was convinced the sticky stuff was setting me off, and it turned out the sun and wind were the real culprits for me all along. I still keep a plain balm on underneath anything tinted now, kind of my little safety net.
