You have an oral fixation, and it's difficult to stop. you can try chewing gum, asking people to call it to your attention when you're doing it, because sometimes it's don unconsciously. You'll have to have a lot of will power to stop it.
Good luck

In a moment of quiet before you get into bed stop for a moment and thank God for all that you have. Tell him how much this is driving you crazy and that you are just completely baffled as to how to stop that it's making you want to cry for it seems so hopeless. Pray for this obsession to be lifted from you with your whole heart. ask for guidance. Do it again in the morning and then keep doing it and I promise you your obsession will be lifted. See your Dr. about it as it could be caused by diet, other medications or their might be something your unaware of that is causing or contributing to this. Good luck

Make a paste of white sugar & honey. Rub it on your lips gently to slough off flakes. Rinse well & apply Vaseline to seal in moisture.
You can also put a thin coat of Vaseline on your lips & brush gently w/ a soft toothbrush to remove flakes.
BTW, Aquaphor Healing Ointment is the best for keeping lips smooth.

Mary Kay cosmetics has this really awesome stuff called Satin Lips. It includes a lip mask and lip balm. Trust me honey, after you've experience these products, you won't want to pick at your lips. The lip mask will slough off the dead skin and help even out the areas where you've picked, and the lip balm is this incredible moisturizer.

then quit picking your lips then! keep in mind TO not pick your lips! Practice doing this for a while and then you will surely get over it.

I suggest that you try Prevex, it's a cream that you by in a tube, at any pharmacy, and it resists to the water.
I work for me, to hydrate my skin, and it's not easy since I have eczema...
Good luck!
