Very dry, cracked lips?

[Anonymous]

my lips have been dry for days, and when I smile, it keeps on bleeding, especially in my food - gross. I used Vaseline, lip balm, everything but it's still dry and it hurts a lot

Your lips need to be exfoliated and hydrated. You should mix in sugar, honey, olive oil, coconut oil, and apply to your lips every night. Wear a medical chap-stick whenever you feel like it.
Licking lips is one of the things that causes your lips to crack, if you have a habit of licking your lips, try to avoid it.

Just keep on adding the Vaseline, lip balm, thats about all you can do. Living in FL I never have that problem only when I am out on the west coast for a visit i do right away

I'm from England and over here we have a shop called Lush. I don't know if you know it but they sell a lip scrub made if sugar and salt you rub in then lick off. I'm sure you could get hold of it online. Other than that, always wear lip balm.

Try carrying around a medicated lip balm with you EVERYWHERE. Apply it whenever your lips start to feel dry, don't lick them. It'll sting since its medicated and your lips are cracked, but it will help

Dont lick your lips

Most lip balms I have tried dries out lips even more, so I avoid it.

Could it be something health related?
Try coconut oil on lips.

Drink lots of water and buy a repairing lip balm not the regular lip balm. You need restorative properties. Probably around 10 bucks

Dw mine are usually super soft but in the wonter wven mine dry up a little. Just make sure to moisturise more in the winter

Make sure you're drinking enough water, and keep using lip balm. It will take a few weeks to completely heal.

Don't lick your lips, keep using Vaseline all the time

Lip balm is the only thing that works for me... you should make sure it has hydratizing effect.

I stopped putting things on mine, and then they learned how to manage themselves.

Drink lots of water and apply organic coconut oil to your lips, it's extremely moisturizing! by the way, maybe if your on any antibiotics, that can also be a problem.

Are you severely dehydrated?

[Asker]

Yes,...

[NerdInDenial]

Drink a lot of water and your lips will eventually be less cracked.

[archiz]
