What is the best way to clear chapped lips?

whats the best way to get rid of chapped lips-FAST!!!! i know the obvious (chapstick) but what kinds/brands and what other things besides chapstick could i use to get rid of chapped lips?What is the best way to clear chapped lips?
It may sound kind of gross but in my family(for years) we've used Vicks(yup the mentholated ointment) on our lips. It will give you a bit of a stinging/cooling sensation but it works fast. Just a thin layer before you go to bed and in the morning it should be almost healed(depending on the severity).What is the best way to clear chapped lips?
firstly girl, make a lip scrub out of a lot of sugar and some conola oil until it gets thick but all the sugar is covered, then rub that allll over your lips sorta gently with presure until the flakyness of the chapped lips is gone, then rinse off with WARM to HOTT water, then once your lips are all better and soft put on alot of Blistex DCT daily conditioning treatment, its in a pink little lip pot that you can get at like CVS. works amazing! do the scrub like once a day to keep them good!
hey if your lips are really chapped, im guessing you might not want to use a scrub... try this... before you go to sleep, put some vaseline on your lips and leave it on for about 3 min. this will lift up the dry skin. then use a washcloth to gently rub it off (you can wet the cloth with warm water if you want to) then apply a moisturizing lip balm, i use BURT'S BEES (replenishing lip balm with pomegranate oil). do this every night until your lips are better and just reapply the lip balm thoughout the day as needed.





oh, and when your lips are better, take that one girls advice and use some VICKS... that stuff is awesome!!


i hope this helps :)
CARMEX





I've always suffered from chapped lips and that's the best product I've ever used.





Also, make sure you're breathing through your nose, not your mouth. If you find that your lips are starting to chap a little bit, put carmex on them straight away, don't lick them!
Exfoliate. I read that sugar and some water will work well, just mix and rub onto your lips. I use Softlips and it works really good.
Try the Rose Salve Extract from C.O Bigelow. It works great for me, and takes care of my lips when they are chapped or just dry.
dont lick your lips!!





i know it sounds stupid, but you actually lose moisture that way...





chapstick is probably the best xx
