Oh my goodness, ME TOO!! I keep telling myself it's just because of the winter, but my lips were not NEAR this dry last winter... or any other winter for that matter. Has anything worked for you? I've tried so many different kinds of lip stuff and none of them seem to work...

no, not really! i've been using carmex at night and it's really seemed to help keeping them moisturized but i can't stand the taste of it to use it during the day. i know aquaphor is awesome, but i don't have any

I was already addicted to chapstick before, but it's horrible now. I put it on and then a few minutes later I want it again! I keep one at work, one in my purse, one in my gym bag, one in my nightstand, and one in my bathroom : )

Right! I find myself having an anxiety attack if my lip balm isn't within reach.

Exfoliating every few days helps though!

I can only use one kind and have been using it since I was like 16 - Banana Boat. Plus, it has SPF so that's nice in the summer.

This!

I'm not sure if it's safe during pregnancy (not sure why it wouldn't be though) but the satin lips kit from mary kay is awesome! https://www.marykay.com/skincare/lipeyecare/default.aspx

I thought I was crazy thinking that the baby would be drying out my lips... but they are awful. I'm applying chapstick/vaseline/aquaphor every 20 minutes and they are still cracking/bleeding.

my lips are super chapped, too, but i know i need to drink more water.

My are super dry too. I found that when I'm in the shower, I use a washcloth and rub my lips, ( I rub pretty vigorously, only every few days) it helps to get the dead skin off, then I put on Vaseline Intensive Lip therapy as soon as I get out. It helps a lot.

you can also try a wet toothbrush for the dead skin, it works really well!! i hope this dies down soon, man, it's annoying! i'm glad i'm not alone!

Me too! I use Blistex Lip Medex in a blue pot - it's not a pleasant flavor, but it really seems to help. Mine are worse this year than ever!

So glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is weird. I thought it was just the weather that was making them dry, but like some one said earlier, my lips have never been this dry for this long in past winters. I just just keep using my Chapstick. For years, before I go to bed, I put on vaseline and my lips are fine in the morning, but lately....I usually need to reapply (after my middle of the night pee trip). I guess if I'm not having m/s, this is my "thing".
