1) Mentholatum--it's a concentrated gel you buy at the store. They come in a small, green jar. Put that on at night.
2) During the day try olive oil. It will give you a nice sheen AND help moiturize.
3) Also during the day apply Blistex.
4) When you go outside for extended periods, put sun screen on your lips. You'll help yourself out a LOT.

Here is what has worked for chapped lips in our family:
Before you go to bed at night, cake on Zinc Ointment... try to get the purest brand you can find (without all the additives like petroleum jelly and other petrochemicals). If you have some pure, unadulterated Lavender essential oil, add a drop. Next morning, do the same, and apply throughout the day.
Hemp oil (from the health food store) is very restorative as well, and easy on the lips. Hemp is called "Seed of Life" and has an amazing range of nutrients.
All the best!

Break open a vitamin E pill- they usually have a gel/oil in them. Rub this on your lips a few times a day and it should help heal up the chap.
Be aware- you MAY get some small breakouts immediately surrounding your lips from excess oil from the Vit. E pill. But if you're careful this will be limited.
ALso- if you're into alternative treatments from the health-food store, try some Tea Tree Oil. Take a small amount and coat it on your lips. It works VERY Well.

Vaseline would definietely help. My lips used to be super chapped as a child, but not as much as yours. Chap stick would help after a while of using the vaseline. If it doesn't improve, or it gets worse, hopefully your parents will see that and reccommend a doctor. He/She could give you something. Also, drinks lots of water. Atleast a bottle a day. Goodluck and feel better! [= EDIT: PS, Don't lick your lips! (If you don't know that) It makes it worse.

Have you tried a vitamin E moisturizing stick? I get them at Wal-Mart in the vitamin isle. I use this on my lips many times in a day and my lips heal and become smooth. Try applying it every five minutes until your lips feel better then use it everyday as well as chap stick with sunblock. Your lips will peel and the dead skin will be replaced with new improved skin.

Vaseline deadens the outer layer of the skin on the lips and discolors them. DO NOT USE VASELINE.
Drink a lot of water, especially smart water and don't drink any soda or gatorade (high in sodium).
For your lips, I recommend the honey lip balm from L'Occitane...it's a great moisturizer and doesn't feel sticky. It has the slightest hint of honey scent.

i know this is going to sound a bit strange, but before bed at night, use some lanolin nipple cream on your lips (the sort that breast feeding mothers use). a chemist recommended this to me once as i used to get chapped, crack lips. it really works.
