How to keep lips from getting chapped when kissing?

[Anonymous]

When I was kissing this guy last night my lips would get reallllly chapped afterwards, but there wasn't really anything I could do about it..

does this happen a lot to other people? is there some kind of lip stuff that works amazingly that will keep them moisturized?

If you are talking more about making-out than just kissing, I can say "yes" it does happen to a lot of other people. It's just simply what happens during such activity.

I can recommend Burt's Beeswax (available at supermarkets, even Wal-Mart). It's fantastic for your lips and if you get the original flavor, it has menthol which will make your kisses tingle. It's wonderful. I have very dry lips normally, so during the winter or heavy kissing, Burt's Beeswax saves me. I have friends that swear by the new chapsticks (the clear, liquid kind) and say they love that, too.

Good luck!

id use aloe vera, straight from the plant, other than that use some bert's beeswax, works like a charm (;

Well, I've yet to have my first kiss so I don't know why your lips get chapped when kissing.

Just some general advice on chapped lips, though:

After brushing your teeth (morning and night), take a dry, clean tooth brush and brush your lips as if you were brushing your teeth. This exfoliates them and removes dead... lips/skin cells. Then put some Vaseline or Carmex on (you can put lip gloss on over this if you're about to go out.)

If you just need a quick fix after a make out session, just dab on some Carmex. Don't lick your lips. It just dries them out worse.

I've had chronically dry lips for years. And the only thing that works for me is either Labello lip balm or Nivea Lip Care. Basically the same product, but the Nivea stuff is cheaper. Basically you get two for one. At least I've found a place that has two packs of it for about a dollar cheaper than buying two of the Labello.

Kissing contributes to chapping your lips. Its like licking your lips also contributes to it. It is the saliva mixed with the rubbing that contributes to the chapping problem.

I might suggest both using a little lip balm before smooching. Good luck!

that happens after you kiss because saliva is extremely drying. that's why you shouldn't lick your lips if they are chapped.

Blistex complete moisture-it smells really good and isn't too feminine since it's chapstick, so your guy can use it too

Rub your lips with vaseline first and then a thin layer of any oil.

Believe they moisturize plus pink your lips.

At home you can try butter.

Get C.O.Bigelow chapstick from bath and body works. Works wonders!
