Nor should one ever "blow their lips out" during a practice session. If this is the case, there are fundamental problems with the embouchure involving excess tension. I can understand if there is some fatigue in the embouchure after a particularly strenuous playing session of MANY hours, but I've never felt the need to warm down. I think that is because I use as little pressure as possible when playing. Let the air do the work, it never gets tired!
My opinion for what it's worth...
