chapped, forever?!!! aHH Options

[Bobblehead425]

ok so ive had chapped lips for...how long? oh yea since about mid AUGUST!!!

im not sure, but i think they mustve got sunburned or something.

ive put chapstick on it, like very day. ive been useng blistex/carmex/vaseline

even medicated.

although in the middle of the day it just gets horrible and all peely. in the morning its smooth and looks like they were stretched out because its so dry.

i dont want to carry around a huge thing of chapstick (like, the big ones..not the STICK) everwhere and all the time.
any suggestions?

[crazedbaby]

Chapstick's not bigg and you might as well. I hate having chapped lips and it looks weirdd..

[islandkiss]

carry it around with you and apply it every 2 hours.

[_sarcastic_]

i'm not sure what else is there to do, chapstick is like the best bet
it's small enough to fit in your pocket

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

CHAPSTICK!!!!!!!!!!!! woushhhhhhhhh its amazeing.. use it and take it every where you goooooooooo.

[bby_cutie]

well..i dont use chapstick i use this type of chapstick called softlips. It's small enough to fit in your pocket. It has this minty feeling when you apply it on your lips too. ><

ok thanks....i kn ow chapsticks not big i mean the...things...lke the pots...lol i dunno

[Endless_Love ...]

whenever i have chapped lips like that it usually means im not drinkin enough water. so then i drink a lot of water and it goes away

[noexcuses89]

I have Burt's Bee's and it gives your lips a fun tingley feeling. =] It's ever most enjoyable. It's also rated one the of the best chapsticks out there. So I'v heard atleast.

[BrokenDream]

use chapstick. its wayyy better than lip gloss. make sure it's a kind of chapstick that has spf 20 or something like that. it protects your lips from getting anymore sunburned. oh, and also, make sure you drink water too. it keeps your lips healthy.

that happened to me from december to march, it's cuz i didn't drink that much water(maybe 2 glasses a day) and it got all dry and nasty

so drink lots of water, if you don't already

[sprezzatura]

Carry it around...a chapstick isn't very big. Drink more water, not soda, not gatorade, or any other forms of liquid that make you thirsty.

[shortiiex]

i had that almost my entire life..and i can never get rid of it..it's so annoying

[Gigi]

Use chapstick, it's your best bet. I mean, it's just a little tube, you can easily put that into a backpack or a pocket in your pants without looking weird or out of place. Reapply it often.

Another thing you can do is exfoliate your lips to remove all that dead skin. They'll feel softer, but make sure to apply more chapstick on or else the moisture will be pulled out of it after cleansing.

CHAPSTICK IS YOUR FRIEND.

agreed. drink a lot of water and don't lick your lips when they're dry, it'll make them worse.

[KissMe2408]

Usually you get chapped lips because of your lack of water. So i suggest you drink more water everyday. Also, chapstick is nice...but if you want stuff that really works, try "Burt's Bees Lip Balm"
Here is a link to it: http://www.selfexpressions.com/bubelipbator.html

you don't have to order it online, usually you should find it at a mall or drugstore...

[F4lling]

yes, drink lots of water!!
..but not too much to drown yourself! :O

[iheartjohn]

Overapplying chapstick makes the natural oils that your lips produce stop. But for quick fixes, I use a little bit of Vaseline - but not the chapstick Vaseline, just plain Petroleum Jelly.

[Kneuklid Romance]

I can't put my finger on why it helps but.....water does help. And drowning wont' help so dont do that O_O.

A combination of water, chap stick and warm atmosphere is my primary way to get rid of chapped lips. (though I can't remember the last time I had chapped lips.)

Also, maybe someone mentioned this already if you see that your lips are dry, for some reason it's very tempting to rub your teeth on your lips to take the itchiness / dryness away. DONT DO THAT EITHER!

WATER!

[mai_z]

Drink lots of water, but not just taking little sips during the day, I mean like drinking bottles of it at a time. If all you're doing is wetting your lips, it will get worse, because the water'll strip the oils off your lips. Softlips (it was mentioned up there somewhere) is great, I love it. ELF's got practically the same thing for cheaper too.

[jennyjenny]

Lick your lips every so often and breathe out of your nose? And um, close your mouth.

[toodlepops.]

Drink lots of water. Or like Jenny said, lick your lips every now and then

[doubleaxel1951]
