During this time of the year, I usually get really really dry lips. My upper lip and my lower lip have skin flaking off and it bothers me. I put on chapstick, and vasceline, but it isn't working. Any advice?

Keep putting vasiline under your lips and on them. Drink MORE WATER!!!!!!!! Water will really help.

I saw this on the tyra banks show and it really works. Apply a liberal amount of vaseline on top and bottom lips then take a soft bristle toothbrush and gently brush your lips. Any loose skin will come right off. Any that doesn't come right off do not force because of course your lips will bleed. Wipe off any excess with a warm wet cloth then apply a little more vaseline.
Another thing I do is make my on lip scrub. Again, grab the vaseline. Take a tablespoon of it and place in a cup then get about a tablespoon of salt and mix the two together. Take just a little and apply to lips(save the rest for later treaments)and gently rub your lips with your finger. Wipe off with warm wet cloth and apply a little more vaseline.
Hope it works for you.

Get a humidifier to run in your bedroom at night. My lips will dry out and crack overnight if we don't run ours. All the chapstick in the world put on during the day won't help if your lips are damaged at night.

I have the same problem last year but i went to see the doctor. my doctor prescibed me a cream that i had to apply on my lips at night and its called canestan cream, maybe you should reccomend it to your doctor. It really worked for me.Also you should drink more water it could be dehydration. Also blistix medicated lip balm and lip conditioner is the BEST for red dry lips try it out. And i really wish it gets better cause i know it is a pain in the......

Avoid flavored tooth paste, Use a humidifier to humidify your lips, Increase intake of water and other non alcoholic liquids, Rub cucumber slice on your lips, Apply neem leaf extract on your lips, Put some aloe vera gel on your lips, Take a saline bath.
Diet for Cracked, chapped and dry lips
Vitamin A is very important for the growth and repair of the skin. vitamin A. Carrots, tomatoes and green leafy vegetables are the good sources of vitamin A. Eat whole grains, legumes and nutritional yeast. Make a vitamin rich juice by adding 1 tbsp. of water cress, carrot and spinach juice, 2 tbsp. wheat germ oil, one glass of tomato juice, and 1 tbsp. of nutritional yeast

Best choice is Carmex, I tried Blistex but it doesn't make any good, i tried petroleum jelly too it worked too that's before I learned about Carmex. I used it (well...till now) when I had extremely dry lips b'coz of taking Accutane.
I like the one in a tube instead of the tin container, but it doesn't really matter.

Chapstick will make your lips more dry. Try satin lips from marykay. The mask will take off the dead skin, and the balm will restore moisture to you lips, and keeps your lips moisturized. For more info go to http://www.marykay.com/ctoyoda.

My advice is every 5 or 10 minutes put on chapsticks or vaseline, because I tried that before and it worked!!Also I had difficulty trying to find out what I have to do, then I thought of something that interested me to do is to put chapstick or vaseline every 5 or 10 minutes. And sometimes we just need to try something until we succeed. Like a motto saying" Try and try until you succeed"

Use pure wheat germ oil on ur lips too- leave overnight.
That's cosmetic treatments. But in ur case u might wanna see a doc, maybe u need some vitamins or changes to ur diet.
