The first step in preventing chapped lips is to stop licking. Constant wetting and drying sucks the moisture from lips' outer layer, causing them to feel dry, which prompts more licking, creating a vicious cycle. Dehydrated lips are also more susceptible to dry, windy conditions. \n-- A moisturizing lip balm, especially those containing dimethicone, will help retain natural moisture and protect dry, chapped lips. \n-- Drinking lots of water will help prevent dehydration, which may contribute to chapped lips and dry skin. \n-- Smoothing a generous coating of lip balm on lips before bed will help to moisturize lips while you sleep. \n-- The sun's UV rays are responsible for 90 percent of visible damage we commonly attribute to aging. A lip balm that contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 will help prevent sunburn during outdoor activities, and may reduce the risks of skin aging, skin cancer, and other harmful effects of the sun. \n-- Regular lipstick products, especially some long-wearing varieties, may feel drying. A base coat of lip balm will add needed moisture during winter months. \n-- If lips become chapped, avoid wearing lipsticks while lips are recovering as drying products in color pigments may irritate chapped lips. Also keep acidic foods from touching delicate lips until they've healed. \n-- Lip exfoliators such as Softlips Nightly Care(TM) buff away dry, dead skin cells and stimulate growth of new, vibrant cells. The interactive Beta Hydroxy formula of Softlips Nightly Care(TM) conditions lips that may be sensitive to strong Alpha Hydroxy chemical peels, and the overnight system helps reduce concern about sun damage to freshly exfoliated skin. \n\nFor more information and tips, see the website below!

Put tea tree oil on it.  This is available in health food stores.  You only need to buy a very small bottle.  It will last a long time and has many uses other than cold sores.  Works great on pimples too.

Isn't chilitis just the medical term for chapped lips?  I don't think its caused by uncleanliness.  I'm on a medication that causes chilitis, and I just use blistex.  If youre not on anymedication or anything its probably just the weather and lack of humidity this time of year causing it.

Try Benadryl cream, witch hazel or calamine lotion. Can also make a compress with plain oatmeal.

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!

I was told that a warm soaked tea bag held on the cold sore--works wonders!  Apparently it is a method that has been used for years.  GL

A product called Ivyrest is the best thing I have found to dry up Poison Ivy.  Only bad thing is that the cream is pink, but it really does work.  Other options are thing like rubbing alcohol, does not work as well, and things like that.  I would suggest the Ivyrest though, it is good stuff as long as you don't mind have the pink creme on your legs.  If you don't want it on your legs when you are out, just wear it at home and it will dry it out, might take longer though.

Try using a lip exfoliator (Avon makes a good one). Also, \nsometimes if you overuse glosses, lipsticks, or chapsticks, \nyour lips can become "used" to being constantly moisturized.\nTry to go without for a few days or only use them when your lips feel really chapped. It is also very important to avoid licking your lips, biting your nails, and breathing through your mouth in your sleep.

My daughter in law and my nephew both have eczema.  They use a product called Eucerin...it works great. I worked with cardboard for years on my job and have very dry hands. I use it all the time......love it....don't use anything else. If you decide to try it, get the cream in the jar. For some reason  the lotion dosen't work as well.

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 ;)

I feel your pain sister.Based on your question I did a little exploring on the web a came across the most hilarious web site about the "Chapstick Conspiracy".Here is the tp://www.kevdo.com/lipbalm/chapstick.html \n\nMy husband siad there is a scientifical reason behind chaplips  and I cant remember it all however he says rub your lips with lemon salt a few times. It burns at girst but not for long.It supposedly balances the Ph something or other. I did it and it works.\n\nThen for maintenance if your lips start feeling dry try this. Mash a quarter of a ripe papaya until it makes a juicy paste. Lay down and apply a generous amount to lips leaving it on for 10-15 min. Then rinse it off.The papaya containes exfoilaing enzimes that help soften and refine lip lines.\n\nRemenber we all have a certain addiction.I think I found mine. Prepare yourelf.Lets take our lipds back.

well that happens to me sometimes. i use aquaphor (my lips can get very easily chapped) and apply it twice a day. its like vaseline. so if u dont have that, i would highly recommend vaseline. put alot of it  on too, its very soothing and try not to open your mouth much ok? hope this helps! (i did this when i got my wisdom teeth removed since i also had a cracked lip on the side of my mouth but i used aquaphor instead)

This could be an allergic reaction to your lipstick,lip-plumping treatments,fingernail polish(fingers touch lips all day;this is contact dermatitis) or even to your toothpaste and teeth whitening strips,if you use them.Put away the Vaseline;it just makes things worse.Try using Cortaid for a few days and you can use Mentholatum ointment on top of that.Mentholatum Ice lip balm is also a good moisturizer.If you do not see any improvement,go see a doctor,preferably a dermatologist.

Here's a few suggestions...\n1) Drink water- Helps to hydrate lips\n2) use chapstick with sunscreen ( SPF 15 etc.)- This protects your lips when dry especially in the winter as well as protect from sun damage\n3) avoid licking lips - causes hypertonic situation dehydrating lips \n4)Use toothbrush- Sometimes before bed, I brush my lips very gently with a toothbrush. This helps to remove dead skin cells overtime and then I immediately place lip chap on\n\nHowever if anything you do doesn't work, the best place to go is to the dermatologist. Sometimes, chapped lips can indicate an infection or nutrient deficiency. Especially go if you notice dry cracked corners of your mouth.
