Hi everybody!

Well, my problem is chapped/peeling lips.
I've always had this problem, especially with the weather changes and all. In the summer I can usually control my lips with some Chapstick or Blistex or something.
Now that it's winter my lips have totally gone crazy. They constantly peel to the point where they bleed and it really hurts.
I've tried Chapstick, different kinds of Blistex, Neosporin Lip Treatment (which worked for a while but doesn't anymore for some reason), Neutrogena Norwegian Formula cream for super dry skin (also used to work well), and even Abreva - the cold sore medicine that worls extremely well on coldsores..but it doesn't seem to be doing much for my cracked lips.

I thought maybe I just need to take more vitamins or something..but that doesn't really help.
I don't know what else to try since nothing works, especially since I tend to pick at my lips all the time and make them worse...bad habit, I know.

Any suggestions on something else I can try that will hopefully heal them quicker?
Thanks!

i have this problem a lot. especially since i have a bad lip biting habit. i bite them until they are completely cracked and bleeding.

the products i really like are carmex, aveeno intense moisture (or the medicated menthol one), and aquaphor.

and remember to drink LOTS of water.

the best thing i find that help happened lip is petroleum jelly! its wonderful try it i have used it on my face for years and have super soft skin an never have had any acne, and its very firm have been using this instead of cream for year and it lasts forever!!!!!

Aquaphor, nothing has ever worked better for me!

aquaphor fo sho!

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm gonna definitely have to try them all and figure out which one works best.

yes riotgirl try th petroleum jelly first it even comes in a baby powder scent and is great for the skin, but jut apply a ti bit, not much, you can even take a cloth an pat your face with it after you use it, and then appy your makeup. i have super soft skin and i am 31 and look much younger and get compliments my skin. i am not sure if maybe this has helped sine i have used it for so long go luck

Thanks. I've used pertroleum jelly on skin sometimes, sparingly of course because it is pretty sticky. It's great I love it. I gotta get more.
It probably does improve skin a lot. I know my mom has used cremes similar to patroleum jelly practically all her life and she has great skin for someone her age.

I have tried almost every product possible, and hands down, the absolute best for lips is Aquaphor. It's a petroleum jelly base, only with added moisturizers and moisture-binding agents (which hold the moisture in your skin) such as lanolin, glycerin, etc. You can get it at any drugstore, it's no frills, and it's really the best there is.

yes petroleum jelly is great , i put a glob on very night on my lips and a little on my face and i have super soft lips/face, also softens elbows, and feet i leave some overnight and it works great

Have you tried Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream?

Petroleum jelly on skin? Overnight use? And this helps with acne? I get three or four obvious pimples a month. Would this jelly help?

It is best to stay hydrated, even in the winter. Also, every night before bed I put on Nighttime Balm by Victorias Secret. It comes in a small round tin and I also use it throughout the day if needed. Usually I try to keep a lip gloss on also by Victorias Secret because it stays on and lasts. I think it is a matter of drinking water and keeping on top of your lips with products that stay on. Hope this helps you. :)

My youngest son used to have really bad chapped and cracked lips, especially in winter. We tried a Vitamin E stick, Burt's Bee, or CEBigalow. All under $8, don't know which one actually helped, but he is kissable now. He also uses regular old Carmex he keeps in his locker. Good luck.

HI,

Use a dry clean toothbrush and brush your lips. Do not wet your lips beforehand.
The dead skin should come right off. Then apply lip conditioner. This really works!

Vaseline has a product for lips, same thing but just in a lip friendly tube. I find the best thing like someone above said is to always keep something on my li[s. The second I can't feel any lip product I put more on. Also try to stay away from some lipglosses because they can dry, especially ones with shimmer.
