Crusts/make up on lips

Ok so this is a really bizarre problem but I’m just looking for advice. I’m not sure if it’s a skincare or make up problem but I always seem to have ‘stuff’ on my lips and it’s embarrassing. When I put on my make up, I never put foundation or powder over my
lips, but throughout the day I feel like I’m always having to dab away stuff from the corner of my mouth.

Sometimes I don’t wear make up but I still get it. It just looks like a bit of debris (can’t think of a better word!) at the corner of my mouth and it builds up throughout the day.

I don’t know if it’s a dry skin thing or something else, but I’ve tried using lipbalm and moisturiser and it’s not helped either.

It’s worst when I wake up in the morning after sleeping, it’s more like a crusty debris at the edges of my lips.

it’s getting so frustrating! Does anyone have any product recommendations? None of my friends seem to have this problem and it’s so embarrassing constantly wiping the corner of my mouth.

Have you tried a lip scrub?

Not sure if that will solve it, but it might be that.

Is it dry spit?
Are you one of those people who gets stringy spit at the sides of you mouth when you talk?
Maybe it's crusty drool when you are in bed?

Clinique scrub is good.

Or loads here, but I haven't tried any others to recommend...

I get it too, didn't when younger. I am also getting more sleep in the corner of my eyes that I have to wipe away several times a day. Only used to do it when I first woke up . Its feels like my face is constantly leaking from somewhere Confused
