Just make a paste out of something that is thick and gritty at the same time. You can use it to exfoliate your lips. Then put on a non-medicated and non-mentholated lip balm to moisturize them. (The menthol and medicated kinds will burn and dry your lips out further.)
My suggestions:
honey and sugar or
vaseline and sea salt

Exfoliate your lips with a gentle lip exfoliant several times a week. Bourjois, The Body Shop, Tarte and Pout make good ones.
Afterwards, use a good lip balm. MAKE SURE that is does not have petrolatum or mineral oil in it, because those aren't good for keeping moisture in.
Good lip balms: any Bonne Bell Lip smacker that DOES not have sparkle in it;
Burt's Bees lip balm with pomegranate
The Body Shop lip balms
Aveda lip balm
Guerlain lip balm
Shiseido lip balm
Use gloss in a light colour instead of lipstick, because it shows flakes less.
Most importantly, make sure you drink lots of water and don't smoke, to stay hydrated.

just make sure you but on lip balm often! every time you feel that your lips are dry put it on again. i like carmex in the tube. you might have to go without lipstick for a few days. also an easy cheap way to remove the flakes is to brush your lips with your toothbrush. not to hard to the point it hurts.

I usually have this problem during the winter and here's how I try to fix it: Use a lip scrub to get off dead skin (MaryKay makes an excellent one!) and then apply a petroleum based gloss. Funnily enough, Vaseline works wonders! It's also good for chapped cheeks. Beeswas is a good choice, too. If you can't find a lip scrub, a washcloth works, too... Just make sure that you don't apply too much pressure or scrub too vigorously so it starts to bleed! :D Hope this helps...

Take your toothbrush and wet it- now using a rotating motion, gently exfoliate your lips till all dry flaky skin is gone. Immediately after, put on a strong lip balm (this happened to me, and I tried Burt's Bees lipbalm...I am a FAN!!! I definitely recommend this marvellous product to you) which will help soothe and protect your lips, in addition to providing the moisture they need. Voila! Your baby-soft lips will look so pretty, trust me you won't want to put lipstick on and cover them up! Hope this helps :)

Mary Kay's Satin Lips Set will work great to cure your dry lips and keep them soft and healthy. It's a two step process...the first is a mask that will exfoliate your lips (removing the dry skin) and the second is a lip balm that hydrates for approx. six hours.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment = all purpose moisturizer that can be used as a lip balm. It sinks in & doesn't taste weird.
Keihl's #1 Lip Balm is good too.
You can follow one of the exfoliation methods mentioned above. i.e. make a paste of white sugar w/ water & rub lips gently or use a soft tooth brush.
Avoid balms w/ menthol, camphor, salicylic acid or mint. These things can irritate lips.
