i use a lip balm from Avon- with honey and bees-wax; helps a lot and also tastes good. avoid touching your lips with your tongue while outside; and foods like: lemons, oranges; vinegar; pickles, etc...

Answer 2

The brand of Petroleum Jelly that you are probably using isn't strong enough. Try a different brand, such as Vaseline.

To avoid getting chapped lips, always make sure they aren't wet and dry in the wind - that's what makes them sore in the first place.

Sorry if I wasn't much help XD

Answer 3

Try cold sore cream. I use Blistex to stop my lips from cracking, because they start bleeding a lot. You'll have to reapply whenever they start getting dry again, but it's worth it. Also, keep a smooth, gliding lipgloss with you (the sticky kind). Aloe vera ones are good.

Answer 4

Try using chap sticks... Or use Vaseline! Hope I helped!

Answer 5

My friend was on some medicine that made her lips very dry. She used Aquaphor it worked very well. You can get it at CVS, Target, etc.
