Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream or their Lip Balm. Don’t lick your lips and make sure you are drinking enough fluids.

I use Burt's Bees beeswax lip balm and cover my mouth with a scarf (or mask) when out in cold or windy weather. Dry lips can be a sign of dehydration so drink more water too.

My lips are constantly dry & cracked. The skin comes off, then they're super-tight, they burn, they split again & on & on. What can I do to break this cycle? I don't use lipstick or any makeup. Vaseline is no good. I used to use Lypsil but I'm trying to give it up. I'm sure your lips aren't meant to be this dry if they're healthy. What can I do?
