Make sure you are drinking plenty of water!

Product-wise, I swear by Fresh Sugar. The tinted ones have an SPF. The treatment one does not, and I use this one at bedtime or when I'm staying indoors.

Fresh Sugar does have a clear Lip Treatment with SPF 15, but you might be thinking of the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Advanced Therapy, which is clear, and doesn't have SPF. They're all referred to as Lip Treatments, which might be confusing.

I use lip gloss often and have never noticed a problem. Maybe it's more with the formulas that have peppermint or some other tingly ingredient that is supposed to be plumping. I never use those because they are potential irritants.

You've been given helpful advice already, but I do want to add my experience with chapped lips. In winter, 2014, I had to stop using my whitening toothpaste. The baking soda and peroxide eventually burned the soft tissue around my lips. I stopped wearing lipstick brands because long-wearing color lipstick added to the dryness. Switched to Vaseline lip care. When lips were healed enough to wear lipstick I could only wear Burt's Bees. Thankfully, this product has both tint and color.

I know healing is a slow process. As another poster mentioned, take a good look at the cosmetic products and toothpaste you are using.

I have really dry lips. I have all sorts of different lip products, from fresh, eos, chapstick to aquaphor to lip glosses to the IT lip vitality lip stains but when my lips gets really dry and I want the most soothing, I reach for vaseline petroleum jelly. I know, I know....I know where it comes from but I tell you, it never fails to moisturize my lips and make them soft and repair whatever damage the dryness caused.

A bit of olive oil. It soaks right in, you probably already have it in the house, and it is natural. It works wonders on my eczema and is great for after the shower, so using it on my lips was natural. It is harder to travel with it, but I use it when at home.

I now have a back-up, it's that good. I use it and her lip exfoliation product. It's helped my dry lips tremendously.

But I do think the OP might be describing something more dryness.

I, too, like Fresh advanced lip therapy, availabe on QVC. Lately I'm using The Honest Co lip balm (they are 3 to a pack) and when it's really bad because I've worn something irritating, I use The Honest Co organic healing balm. I love that stuff! You can get it from their website. On these threads some posters say their products are availabe at Target and Nordstrom, but I don't know which products are sold where, other than the website.

Thank you for all the great advice and recommendations. I didn't think about toothpaste. I've used Crest Baking soda with peroxide for years, but I know all of a sudden you can get allergic to things. I have used Vaseline and noticed no difference. Also tried coconut oil and it lasts about a second on my lips. I have had problems with my eyelids too (can't think of what it's called) so my skin must be reacting to things.

You've given me much to think about. Thank you.
