I have not been feeling well at all, my lips are so dry,yet again  got several good lip balms,would  any  medicated salve help,any ideas?

@goldensrbest, do you use a humidifier? I think trying to replenish moisture in the air is as important as what we apply to hold moisture in.

I've tried a variety of lip products, especially at night. I have two favorites. First is the Tatcha Lip Mask. Adheres and stays on throughout the night. For lighter everyday use, that I find what stays on for me, is Fresh Brand Lip Balm.

My experience, living in a very dry climate, is that I need a light, regular lip scrub wiith a sugar-based product..  QVC TACHA has a lip scrub, but it has peach seeds as a scrub and that might be too rough.   The sugar-based ones are nice because the sugar is not harsh and dissolves quickly.   

Then a nightly lip balm.  There are multiple out there.  I like Nuxe Rev de Miel ( Nuxe Honey lip balm).  It has a thick texture so it seems to last longer.  I also like La Neige Lip Sleeping Mask.   Fior some reason, I'm just not a fan of the TACHA Kissu Lip Balm- it's sort of too sticky. 

Once you start a weekly or so exfoliation, you will see the difference.

@goldensrbest Sara Happ Dream Slip and lip scrub are great. They are both on QVC. The Dream Slip stays on lips overnight.

@goldensrbest   I mix granulated sugar and a bit of honey and do an exfoliation weekly.  I used to use olive oil, but prefer the honey.  Put it on, blend it in, and remove it with a warm washcloth, or do it right before jump my shower.  I still love Carmex for healing.

@goldensrbest , my favorite is O'Keefe lip balm...in the twist up tube...best, long lasting and soothing .

Gently exfoliate with a washcloth.  Apply Carmex or Aquaphor.  Keep reapplying as it wears off, until your lips are healed.  Then proactively use a lip treatment nightly at bedtime.  Make sure you're staying hydrated.

I second the use of a humidifier. Your house should have a humidity level of about 40%, give or take 5 to 10. If you don't know what it is then get a humidity gauge. You can get one for about $10. You'll be surprised how low it can go especially during the winter months when the furnace is cranked on. 

I got this set of three humidity gauges from amazon for $20. I have them placed in different rooms. Also available is a single one for less than $10.

If you're using retinol or tretinoin then be sure and keep the application away from the lip area as far away as possible. Apply a lip balm before and after.
