Peeling/Cracked Lips - Need Help.

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!

Re: Peeling/Cracked Lips - Need Help.

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.
