I agree! I love Burt's Bees and Kiehl's and Rosebud Salve (good for almost anything hehehe).

According to the blog post, here are 7 ways to treat chapped lips:

  1. Apply a lip balm- Coating your lips with a lip balm is a common way to deal with chapped lips. Using a lip balm with a sunblock is even better especially if you’re going to be outside in the sun.
  2. Water- Keep your lips hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Water feeds our cells keeping it moisturized and healthy.
  3. No Alcohol- Stay away from any lip products that contain alcohol. It will surely worsen the condition making your lips more dry and even painful.
  4. Vitamin B-2 Supplements- If you have a thyroid hormone imbalance or Vitamin B deficiency, it can be an indicator for the cracked corners around your mouth. Implementing a healthy diet and taking Vitamin-B supplements can help treat it.
  5. Stop Licking Your Lips- I have a tendency to do this a lot and it is a big no no. It’s best to avoid licking because the saliva will eventually evaporate leaving your lips dry.
  6. Avoid going outside- For days that are extremely windy, cold, and dry, stay inside. If you must leave the house, then apply a good amount of lip balm to protect your lips.
  7. Be patient- Your lips will not completely heal overnight. It can take a week for your lips to be soft again so in the meantime, take care of yourself.
