Answer 1

Use chap stick it really works!!!!!

Answer 2

Nicole Look into the Satin Lips set from Mary Kay. It has a two step program. First is a mask that you use 2-3 times a week for about a minute, never two days in a roll. This takes off the dead cells. Then apply the Lip Balm, which keeps your lips moist up to 6 hours. You can apply this a couple of times a day. A lot of the lip products out on the market actually have an ingredient in it that will dry your lips out about 15 min after applying, which makes you apply more and you end up with really dry lips.

Answer 3

Drink more water. Chapped lips can be a sign of dehydration. The best item I ever found for chapped skin is Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. It works well. I always use it when skiing in cold windy temps to avoid getting chapped lips. It's also a healing cream once the damage is done.

You can probably order it online at Elizabeth Arden. Not cheap but it works. Also, a skin doctor told me about Cetaphil. Inexpensive good cream for dry skin available at your pharmacy. ie CVS.

Answer 4

Use vaseline before going to sleep at night and make sure you drink plenty of water. Bliztex silk and shine is a really good moisturizer during the day. Also, try not to wear any lipstick for a while, as this may add to the chapping problem. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

you need to exfoliate for a ceap lip exfoliator get a tooth brush the softest you can find after brushing your teeth use the other brush soak it in nice warm water mixed with a little mouth wash and softly brush your lips in sircle movements to remove dead skin tissue after use a good lipbalm something that contains beezwax. If you take the name bliztex wat do you see bliz = blisters so what that does is dry out any moisture that is formed when you have fever blisters its the moisture in the blisters that infects the rest of you lip area so even if it says complete moisture its not made for the purpose you are using it use chap stick after you exfoliated and as many times you can during the day and just before you go to bed and yes you need to drink more water it seems you are dehydrated.

Answer 6

You have to drink at least 8 cups of water a day, but 10 or 12 would be better. If it has been going on a long time it is best to see a dermatologist as there are a number of medical conditions and allergies (e.g. to ingredients in lipsticks and toothpaste) that can cause chapping. If it is due to a medical condition no amount of water or ointments will improve it.

Answer 7

Blistex and Carmex are designed to treating cold sores, so they contain ingredients that do end up drying out your lips, even when they feel good at first.

You may want to try Sally Hansen Lip Plumper and Conditioner, or Avon's Plumping Lip Conditioner. You can wear them alone, or with lipstick or gloss. Makes my lips feel great, and I only have to apply/reapply two or three times a day when worn under lip gloss.

As others have mentioned, drink more water. You have to remember to moisturize from within, as well as from the surface.

Answer 8

Get blistex. It is medicated and works well. It may burn 2 or 3 seconds but you use it once a day and it keeps ur lips from getting chapped and prevets chapped lips in the future. The one in the green bottle.

Answer 9

If you have chapped lips, then you are dehydrated. That is the first sign. Drink more water. Stay away from things with Caffeine and alcohol, which makes dehydration worse. When they start to peel, here is what you can do. When you are in the shower and they are nice and rehydrated from the steam, take your toothbrush and brush your lips, then when you get out put something on them that is really thick and medicated, like Carmex. It works for me everytime.

Answer 10

This has been my problem, too, since high school, and the best solution I found was to use Vaseline petroleum jelly after brushing my teeth, when the lips are still wet and tender and moisture can be sealed in. I carry a small tub of it in my bag wherever I go and re-apply throughout the day as needed.

Answer 11
