The fact is, the lip can't breathe properly and it really does delete moisture. It is a good idea to use a thin film, that way the moisture will be there when needed.

I highly doubt chapstick will make your lips stop producing oil since they have no pores to secrete it from. Your lips are supposed to be natually protected by saliva. You really just need chapstick when youre in the sun (and your lips dry out constantly) or when youre sleeping (when saliva production slows down by alot). Try licking your lips every now and then and see if it works.

Your lips get accustomed to being covered with balm or not, or with lipstick or not. After you start using lipstick and stop, your lips have a period of adjustment when they are a bit dry.And when you stop using the lipsticks and balms, the lips get dry for awhile too. It's just an adjustment.

No. You just get used to having all that extra moisture. Your lips do not produce much moisture for themselves, so it is easy to get "addicted" to chapstick.

Yes it can. I suggest when you have constant dry lips, try drinking lots of water. It helps ALOT!

Thats correct
Its the common phenomenon, when you apply lots of moisturizing lotion it stops your skin to produce natural moisture.
Artificial application of anything reduces the natural processes
hope that helps

The best thing, or so I've heard, is to drink plenty of water to keep your lips hydrated. So, be prepared to make lots of trips to the toilet!

I think only if you use it constantly. Allow your lips to breath on their own every now and then and you should be ok.

at times. these block the pores that moisturise the lips so you'll have to need repeated usage.

No, your body produces what it produces, adding a little extra does not tell it there is no longer a need.
