DO NOT LICK YOUR LIPS. It's not that you need to, it is just a habit. I always bug my friend about doing this cause she has really dry lips and always licks them. Every time you have the urge to lick your licks just put chapstick on. Burts Bees works really good, whenever I have dry lips I put it on before I go to bed and in the morning they're fine!

Sounds crazy but try dabbing a little olive oil on them. Apply a little vaseline over it to lock in the moirsture. And I agree with everyone else - don't lick your lips. Stay away from Blistex or Carmex. They have ingredients in them that will make your lips stop producing what they need naturally so you become dependent on them. If you're looking for a chapstick try pure vitamin E sticks. Also, stay away from lip plumpers. They have ingredients meant to irrate your lips (like cinnamon) so blood will flow to them, causing them to look plumper.
If you take Accutane that can also be a reason why your lips are dry. Good luck.

Read about Cortibalm. I've had chronically dry peeling lips and this stuff is a miracle. After i recieved and used my samples, i bought them off ebay. it is a bit pricier than Chapstick but then again, this is no ordinary lipbalm. I found it after googling 'chronically peeling lips' because i was tired of using Chapstick and other brands that only gave me a headache from the smell and the feeling like i'm eating the stuff and them doing nothing to heal my lips.
This stuff lasts on your lips quite a while after you put it on but it never feels "greasy" although you can feel it on your lips. I had to throw away the Carmex after one use because it tasted and smelled so terrible and it seeped into my mouth making me cringe. The Cortibalm by Dr. Dan is virtually odorless, tasteless, so much better than Chapstick or anything else out there. I honestly cannot say enough about it.
It's also highly recommended for acne medication users such as Accutane who develop dry, peeling lips from the medication.
Send for a free sample and experience it for yourself. It's hard to believe i'm praising something as trivial as lip balm but when you've tried everything you know to heal your lips, you're so grateful to not have to peel off the flakes on your lips and them looking awful and painful.
As great as it is though, it is not a 'use it once and no more dry peeling lips, ever'. Just like a lotion you might use for your face or body, you have to use it regularly to maintain healthy lips, maybe more or less depending on the season or depending on the severity from medications or chemotherapy which can also cause dry lips.
You will be so glad to have found this. I've been raving about it to my whole family and even suggested to my sister to sell the lip balm on her overseas website store.
Try it !

You might be dehidrated, my lips always always get dry too. I put on a layer of vitamin E at night, (crack open one of the vitiman tablets use the gel inside) and usualy in the morning my lips are fine. Or they have lip exfoliating lip gloss to remove the dry skin then try soft lips.

I'm pretty sure licking your lips doesn't help in the long run, so just get some good chap stick and always keep it with you, and put it on every once and awhile

Im so sorry for you gurl. Unless I wear thick clear gloss and chapstick underneath my lips will be super chapped. Maybe you wanna try the gloss? Hope this helps

Ask your doctor or dermatologist- they might have a recommendation of a product. And I don't think licking your lips helps too much.. for me it seems like that dries them out even more.
