before you go to bed, smear on a whole bunch of vaseline. it will absorb into your lips more than if you put it on during the day. you won't lick it off and it will all stay on your lips. oh also put some vaseline on before you take a reeeeally hot shower. the steam will cause the vaseline to absorb into your lips faster.What is good for curing severly chapped lips?
1. Drink 6 to 8 ounces of water daily. Make water your friend.
2. Eat or drink foods that nourish the skin (veggies, fruits, salads), Take extra vitamin C and drink plenty of OJ or favorite juice.
3. Avoid drinks that dehydrate you--any soft drink with caffeine (ESPECIALLY Mtn. Dew, all those ';Action'; drinks, coffee, tea)
4. Avoid alcohol, also dehydrates you.
5. Switch to non-caffeinated herbal teas.
6. Chapstick and blistex.
Carmax
vaseline
If you react to lip balms as I have been known to do, you might still have to look. I've been known to change my lip balm every 8 months because I develop reactions. One of my most severe reactions actually was to Vaseline
vaseline works really good. put it on before going outside. always wear chapstick!
burts bees lip balm or CO Bigelow by bath %26amp;body works! they are the best... i have used everything that everyone else says to use and it did not work for me.. but this does for some reason
drink alot of water and try taking some omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil.
Cocoa butter and shea butter, both found in health food stores, work really really well. Petroleum jelly (vaseline) is great for a quick fix but don't overuse it or it will work adversely and make your lips even drier. Also, don't overuse products like Carmex -- they too will dry out your lips -- your lips get 'addicted' to them.
I use Carmex or Blistex when I get chapped lips. Put some on before you go to sleep every night so that it will soak in, as well as putting some on during the day. If this does not work, go to see your doctor to see if there is a more serious problem.
