Seems every other day my lower lip is dry, and peeling. I stay very hydrated, I don't have dry skin, Ive used my face cream, or night cream on my lips. Tried all different ones. I live in a warm climate, so weather is not an issue. I have to exfoliate my lips in morning to get this chapping off. I've tried many, many lip creams, balms, etc. even eye creams, oils, and although feels soft afterwards, I wake up with dried out peeling lips. I'm not on meds either. Last night I used Skinn 6x, left over from a kit...lips all chapped this morning anyway. After I exfoliate they look beautiful, but by next day, it's starts again. I've always had this problem..I'm starting to think nothing will stop it. What's your thoughts??

Here are some tips below.  I haven't had chapped lips since I started using a humidifier in my bedroom a few years ago.

I use aquaphor on my lips overnight and it helps tremendously

I use Carmex at night before I go to bed, and sometimes in the mornings over lipstick. Usually in the mornings and throughout the day, I use a tinted lip balm, such as C.O. Bigelow, Nivea Care and Color, or Burt's Bees.

I had to change the toothpaste I used too.  My old ones were burning my lips and causing big cracks on the sides of my mouth.  I know-- I must sound like a messy brusher but as soon as I changed toothpaste to a sensitive formula -- no more problems.

Re: What stops chapped lips??

I picked up a balm at my naturopath's office that I just love - Eco Lips - I have it in the Coconut flavor (I don't notice any strong flavor at all, it's all natural and organic).

 

I use it every day, under lipstick or gloss or just alone, and I always use it at night.

 

Looks like you can get it on Amazon and it comes in all kinds of flavors.  I can only vouch for the Coconut as it's the only one I have and I have used it now for a few months.

I've also had dry lips caused by a toothpaste and had to switch. And sometimes anti-aging facial products will dry my lips even though I've never applied it on my lips. I have very sensitive skin so I have to be careful with what I use.
