What is the best, longest-lasting, not petroleum-based lip balm for chapped lips?

Ok....I know this sounds disgusting but the best thing for your lips is the oil your own body produces.  If you take your finger and run it across your forehead and then rub your lips you can moisten your lips without any harm done to you.  Really, really gross sounding I know.  But I learned it from an older guy once and it really does work.  Of course you don't really want to do it if you have make up on though. Also don't like your lips.  \n\nI usually use Aquafina Hydrating Lip Oil though since this technique would not be something I would want to do in public.

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.

Burts Bees (a company) makes really good foot balm. My heels used to peel really bad, to the point where I was losing layers of skin.  The heel balm really helped.  It is a little hard to come by, but it is available at www.drugstore.com

I remember my grandmother putting perfume on my fever blisters when I was a kid and that would dry them up within a couple of days. If you don't want to do that you can buy a lip medication called lip medex or it could be lip medix. It is like a chap stick.

lip gloss won't do anything except slick your lips.  Actually, most of them could be detrimental.  Balms are the way to go.  I use chapstick.\nTry brushing your lips when you brush your teeth to slough off the dead skin.  Then apply a lip moisturizer directly afterwards.  \nDrink a ton of water, because it hydrates, obviously.  Lick your lips as LITTLE as possible, because saliva will dry them out too.\nI hear Burts Bees products are very effective, but like I said, I just use chapstick.

Vitamin B is supposed to help, as is Tiger Balm and other such lip balms. Kelp is supposed to be a really good supplement, and I think there's an electric device on the market (I've seen it advertised in magazines)....

Wow, sorry, that sounds really gross.  First of all, quit smoking.  Second, use some lip balm -- Blistex is a great healing ointment.  Maybe try some anti-aging lip treatment -- Clinique makes a good one, you can get it in department stores.  If your lips are really that bad, you might be able to get laser treatments to zap out the discoloration.

Try the Satin Lips set.  The lip mask actually exfoiliates the dead skin off the lips then you follow with the balm.  The set is $18 satisfaction guaranteed.  I swear it works wonders!  I love it and the Satin Hands as well.  www.MaryKay.com/MeganHill\nMeganHill@MaryKay.com\n\nMegan ;)

cooked glue lasts well\n\nmix a thickish paste of cornflour/cornstarch and water.\nCook like a custard until it is translucent and thick.\napply while still warm\napply pressure if appropriate while drying\n\nthis worked when we were kids - should still work now I suppose.\n\nps - I am sure we used to keep a jar of this goop and use it cold - so maybe it doesnt need to be warm when you use it.\nlasted for a while till it turned fungoid I think

Water based lubes are best and without dyes or perfumes to possible irritate you.\n\n"ID Glide" is a great lube and last longer than KY Jelly.\n\n"Pre-seed" also might be a nice choice for women who experience burning with different lubricants, since the acid balance is intentionally different (less acidic) from most other lubricants on the market. \n\n"ID Millenium" and "Eros Bodyglide" are great silicone choices. They are silicone based lubes and last way longer. They are good choices for alternative sex as well. However because they are silicone based it takes longer for the female to expel them from her pubic region because it is meant to last long term and is not water based.

Your lips are healing.  Leave them alone and they should be fine in another week or so.  Try a little medicated chapstick a few times a day if it's very bothersome.  This will help moisten the dead skin that is trying to shed itself.

Stay hydrated by drinking six to eight glasses of water daily. \nUse a humidifier to help add moisture to indoor air. \nStop smoking, which evaporates natural oils off the lips. \nCover and/or moisturize your lips to protect them from the drying effects of the wind, and don’t forget that your lips need sunscreen, too. \nCheck with your pharmacist or physician about medications that can dry out your lips, particularly if you’re taking acne medications. \nEliminate any skin care products that may be triggering an allergic reaction. \nApply lip balm frequently to keep lips moist.
