Carmax is actually not very good because your lips become addicted to it...whenever it's not on your lips they become dry. Try putting A&D ointment on your lips before bed each night and then keep it moisturized with a chapstick (the ChapStick brand is really good) (that has no scent because scented ones usually don't work as well) all day.

A friends daughter has a medical condition that causes extreme lip chapping and her pediatrician recommended Crisco shortening. It's better used at night than during the day simply because of the appearance but it supposedly did the trick. I don't know if other brands would work; the doctor specified Crisco so that's what they used.
If you prefer something that would be better suited for day wear, I've heard that the Burt's Bees products are quite good.

drink ALOT of water between now and then. Use vitamin E oil- break open a gel cap or use bottled kind. Olive oil, crisco anything like that you have at hand. Don't waste your money buying expensive brand chapstick- it will not be effective like they want you to believe. Look thru here- there are some excellent home remedy type tips that really will work.

You try to use The Body Shop 's lip care stick. I have been using them for years. Every night before I sleep , I will apply it on, keep a stick handy near your bedside table so you won't forget to apply. And also keep a stick in your bag and use it anytime, if you feel that your lip is dried.

I had the same problem. I bought some vitiman E oil and put it on my lips two or three times a day with a q tip. It works

Instead of using a product ON your lips, you need to be putting something INSIDE your lips....it's called water. If your lips are chapped you're dehydrated. Drink water till your bladder floats to your ears and you'll be very pleased with the results!

Burts Bees peppermint chapstick is the best.
If you cant find it between now and tomorrow, raid your mom's pantry and find some olive oil, or maybe the medicine cabinet for some vitamin E.
Good luck!

I would go out and get a lip exfoliate and use it tonight, then apply Vaseline. Works like a charm.

DRINK WATER! Your lips are chapped because you dont have enough WATER.
