Lip balms, you may apply vaseline before you go to bed at night time. Licking your dry lips with your tongue doesn't help.

Try a different lip balm and make sure you get 6 to 8 glasses of water per day (about 64 ounces).  If that doesn't help, go to your doctor.  You may have a physical cause for it.  Blistex is a good lip balm.  Make sure your lip balm has at least SPF 15 because the sun can cause dry lips.

instead of using chapsticks why dont you try using petroleum gel as a substitute? its actually proven effective to heal dry, chapped lips.

i'd prefer using vaseline pure petroleum jelly. it stays on lips throughout the day. it is hypo-allergenic, and doesnt contain any harmful ingredients!

Drink plenty of water. Avoid drinks such as coffee and alcohol as they are diuretics. (They soak up a lot of the water in your system which can leave you dehydrated.) Also, check out moisture-intense body lotions for your skin in the meantime, and hydrating chap stick. Hope this helps =]

You probably need to drink more H2O...\nIf your lips keep drying out, you might be dehydrated.

It's colder outside, more wind and less humidity,less consumption of water and other liquids and of course the air inside is a lot drier and less humid because of heat. That's enough reasons for mine to be dry. Need a good moisturizing lip gloss. Chap stick doesn't really do it. Try a different brand.

Use a good brand of eye drops like Refresh Tears at least 4 X daily.\n\nDon't take antihistamines or other medicines that can dry out your eyes.\n\nAsk your eye Dr or internist if you might have Sjogren's syndrome which is an auto immune disease where one common symptom is chronically dry eyes.\n\nhttp://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/sjogrens/sjogrens.htm

I had the same problem.  One thing I found that works is to buy some chapstick and make sure you put it on constantly.  I know it looks retarded to always be applying it to your lips, but trust me--if you apply more as soon as you feel it wearing off, it helps a lot.\n\nAlso, consciously pay attention to the chewing and biting.  As soon as you feel yourself doing it, force yourself to stop.  After awhile, hopefully the habit will go away.

not to wipe that smile off your face and gross you out, but one of the main ingredients in lip stick is fishscales.  and codliver oil. Hope this doesnt gross you out, but its true, learned it in science. Enjoy!!!!!

Vaseline or cooking oil. Rub cooking oil on your lips then rub water into the oil, it acts just like lotion, as lotion is just an emulsion of water and oils anyway! :)

You need to drink more water and liquids. This shows you have a fire constitution and should balance it with water and cooling foods and drinks. The more you use chemical stuff on them, the worse it will get. All these things are only temporary reliefs. You could try some honey mixed with olive oil on your lips at night or whenever you are at home. It should help - but overall don't forget to keep your entire system well hyrdated.
