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! :)

I know how bad you must be hurting- so found this info for you.... hope it helps/..\n\n\nCanker sores are shallow, painful sores in your mouth. They are usually red or may sometimes have a white coating over them. You might get them on the inside of your lips, the insides of your cheeks, the base of your gums or under your tongue. Canker sores are different from fever blisters, which usually are on the outside of your lips or the corners of your mouth.\n\nAnyone can get canker sores, but women people in their teens and 20s get them more often. Canker sores may run in families, but they aren't contagious. Doctors don't know what causes canker sores, but they may be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, food allergies and menstrual periods.\n\nCanker sores usually go away without any treatment. For pain relief, you can try taking ibuprofen (brand name: Advil) or acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol). Other medicines, such as Anbesol, Oragel, Orabase and Zilactin-B, might keep your canker sores from becoming irritated by eating, drinking or brushing your teeth. You put these medicines right on the sore.\n\nYou can also mix equal amounts of Milk of Magnesia and Benadryl Allergy liquid. After it's mixed, you can swish a teaspoonful in your mouth for about 1 minute and then spit it out. If you do this every 4 to 6 hours, your canker sores may hurt less.\n\nSome people think that sucking on zinc lozenges, taking vitamin C or vitamin B complex, using a sage-and-chamomile mouthwash or taking a lysine supplement helps their canker sores heal faster.

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 ;)

Loss of oil will cause the skin to crack.  If you work with cardboard or paper a lot, they will really dry your fingers out.  Use lots of lotion or if you can get your hands on Solar Oil from a salon, it works really well.

I noticed the same thing with my fiance. I think its because girls are always paranoid and we are constantly licking our lips and putting lipsticks on and stuff. Make sure everynight before bed you apply blistex or vaseline or chapstick brand medicated chapstick(my favorite, tastes bad though but works wonders). DO NOT USE ANY ORDINARY LIP BALM. Also, use lip gloss for your lips instead of chapstick, it dries the lips out.

maybe you have an allergy on the material but i guess you dont practice proper care for the lips. always wear lip gloss specially before sleeping. just wipe it off with a tissue when you want to play your sax.

hold ur breath or\nsit and drink a cup of water in little sips or\ni know this sounds weird but it is do-able(as compared to sucking on  aslice of lemon) and it works:\nquarter table spoon of honey, the rest lemon juice and a pinch of salt on top.

Try holding a rag soaked with HOT water to it. In the past, I've taken a vitamin e gel capsule (that you are supposed to swallow), broken it open, and applied it directly to trouble spots, and that really helps!

please tell everyone: coldcure.com, changed my life.\nwas prone to getting fever blisters for whatever reason. especially with fever and illness. \ncure: I take "nature made" zinc from wallgreens, and use it as an oral rins. this is preventitive and treatment.\n\n1) for first week rinse every day with one tablet.\n(I just put enough water in my mouth to rinse with, and then chew untill disolved, one 60mg tablet. This seems to be the quickest way. There is really no bad taste.)And make sure you rinse untill disolved, and try to rinse over any areas you feel might be infected. \n\n2)Rinse at least once a week thereafter.\n\n3)if you feel that little tingle on your lips, and you think one might be coming on, rinse once about every hour for 5 hours or so, and most importantly, a couple of times before you go to bed.\n\nI can not stress how well this has worked for me.\nI have had one reacurance of a full blown blister,over the past year,\nand that was after I had oral surgery and imediatly got the flu and was unable to rinse and treat.\n\nI have had the stomach flu twice, rinsed during and after my illnes, and did not get one.\nI have felt a couple bumps comming on, and began rinsing immediatly. the next morning they were COMPLETLY gone. It is allmost to good to be true.\n\nsimple and effective. hope this helps.

I have heard that putting toothpaste on them works well.  I think it would probably have a drying effect.  You could just try a mud mask, those green mint ones, they sell at the store for about $2.50 a bottle.  That seems to work well for me!

Not bad for you, but the more you use it, the more your lips will rely on it for moisture.  Whenever I use Chapstick, my lips seem to be dryer than they were before I used it.

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.

I used to freeze fruit juice and then rub it on my gums after my app. sometimes it would help with the swelling too. if you don't want that, just buy some popsicles. enjoy and i feel your pain and hope all is well with you!
