Question

Help answer this question below.

I occasionally have some white residue on the inside of my lips. It feels slimy and looks like I used too much chapstick or something. What is it and how can I control or get rid of it?

    It's dead skin, exfoliate your lips more frequently and it'll help prevent it.

    You may be dehydrated. Drink more fluids without sugar...and put Vaseline lightly on your lips.

    Could be your toothpaste. Toothpaste with baking soda in it occasionally does it to me the next morning.

    Not sure of the exact chemical make up of the slime, but I had the same problem and narrowed it down to plain old dry mouth or "cotton mouth". Try keeping a water bottle handy and tipple it on occasion throughout the day. It worked for me.
