how to get rid of really chaped lips?

Answer 1

I found a chap stick that I reallly like. It's Aveno brand. I don't know what its called, but its in a white and blue tube. Price is decent too, I think it was $3. I don't like using Vaseline. I feel like I need to reapply it all the time. This stuff isn't like that.

Answer 2

Chapped lips can have several causes, including dry weather, overexposure to the sun, lip biting and sucking, riboflavin (vitamin B-2) deficiencies and ill-fitting dentures.

Instructions
Apply lip balm. You can also try coating your lips with skin moisturizer, vitamin E oil or aloe vera gel. These greasy products help keep your lips properly moisturized.

Use lip balm that contains sunblock if you are going to be outside.

Avoid licking your lips, since the saliva will evaporate and leave them dry.

Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.

Consider moistening the air in your home with a humidifier.

Keep in mind that cracks at the corners of your mouth can indicate riboflavin deficiencies; you can treat this with vitamin B-2 supplements.

Have a dentist readjust ill-fitting dentures if you believe they might be the cause of your chapped lips.

Tips & Warnings -
Before applying lipstick, dab on a very small amount of lip balm to give your lips a little moisture.

Severely cracked lips can become infected. Use over-the-counter antibiotic ointments to guard against this. If symptoms persist or if you have specific medical conditions or concerns, contact a physician.

P.S.
Here is a home-made recipe for your lip balm
Avoid lip balm made with "petroleum jelly "

For soft, kissable lips, make your own beeswax lip balm. Reuse tiny lip gloss tins or jars.

Instructions
Melt 1 tsp. shredded beeswax, 2 tsp. coconut oil, 1/2 tsp. lanolin and one vitamin E capsule in the microwave.

Add 2 drops of essential oil such as peppermint, orange or lemon.

Add 1 tsp. honey. Stir the mixture until cool.

Pour into a container and let set until completely cool.

moisturise, moisturise, moisturise.

Avoid lipsticks and other products that have mineral oil in them. This dries out ur lips.

Also protect ur lips with emolients such as petroleum like in vaseline brand chap sticks, especially in cold conditions.

U can also exfoliate ur lips to reveal new skin that u must keep MOISTURIZED!
