My lips are still not all the way recovered. I am starting to think that I may have a lanolin sensitivity? But I overthink things… Whatever it was, that Scots Pine Sheep did a number on me ☹️
I want to shave today… Hopefully my poor skin can take it 😰 I guess I will try a different shave soap.
Anyone else have experience with lanolin and/or fragrance sensitivity?
That’s a real bummer. I’ve never had any sensitivities to stuff in soaps thankfully but lanolin is a common one, and I know if I get straight sap from certain pine trees it can irritate me so I wonder if any pine oil could be the cause as well. You could try growing a mustache temporarily if the rest of your face is fine or be careful shaving if you have any bumps or bad irritation on your lips still.
I have no lanolin sensitivity, but I have experienced frag burn in some soaps. Generally, bowl lathering helps reducing the problem, but ultimately, its probably better to avoid the product.
The irritation I experienced was despite bowl lathering - I shudder to think what it would have been like if I had face lathered 😬 luckily the soap I used today was pretty gentle so my face is feeling pretty great right now!
