The middle of my bottom lip is cracked %26amp; dry. It's very painful. Nothing is working.How do I relieve dry, chapped lips if chapstick isn't working?
You MAY be dehydrated. My lips are generally the most chapped if I haven't had enough WATER to drink. Hot decaf tea or decaf coffee or decaf ice tea works too if you don't like water. Since your lips are cracked, for me, I generally use a thin thin layer of neosporin.
Anyway, try drinking more hydrating liquids-not anything with caffeine, and not TOO much sugar. Preferably more water.How do I relieve dry, chapped lips if chapstick isn't working?
I've never found chapstick helps with dry lips in fact it makes my lips worse. A normal skin moisturizer works just as well. 8 hour cream if you can get it is excellent.
And also what vampire v has suggested. Lack of Vit c and also B can result in cracked lips.
Before you go to bed at night put some vasoline on your lips. It tastes bad, but do this for a few nights and you should be good. :)
Make sure you don't lick your lips at all, that's very drying to them. If you lightly scrub your lips with an old toothbrush and vaseline you can get most of the chapped stuff off. Then apply a stronger chapstick, I use Neutrogena brand, and whatever you do, don't lick it off!
neosporine came out with a wonderful lip balm you should give it a try good luck!
try to drink lots of water and eat fruits especial rich with vit c..like oranges
Bio oil or a hot shower.
This sounds strange but put while you're in the shower, put some hair conditioner on your lips, rub in, leave for 2 mins, and rinse off with the hot water
then put vaseline on when you come out the shower.
try Vaseline. my daughter had it so bad a few weeks ago that it was all around her mouth on the skin as well, and i didn't have Vaseline so i put neosporin on the skin around her mouth and on her lips , but i kept it from the closest part next to the inside of her mouth, and i told her to keep it out of her mouth, but she was going to sleep anyway, and when she woke up it was noticeably better. i think it's safe to use, no different than Vaseline, just try to keep out of your mouth.
i have a big problem with this because i a allergic to most chapsticks but one really worked for me. its called neutrogena for lips. i use the tub and the chapstick and they work very well. i also put moisturiser near my lips and this helps. good luck [=
vaseline!!!!!! amazing. also try burt's bees lip balm/chapstick and carmex.
First I would recommend hydrating by drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. I think you need to wear a face mask when you go outside, take a warm shower instead of hot, and realize that the heater you are running is probably the cause of your face drying out. Vaseline will help and so will bacitracin if it is bleeding.
Try Bertsbees chapstick! its all natural, and its the best stuff out there!
sleep with vasaline on your lips every night (smother them! )
Maybe try vaseline? Or bacitracin?
I use Aquaphor, nothing has worked as well for me, and I've tried a lot. You could also try Vaseline.
