Me too!!! My lips are beyond cracked. They're pilling and bleeding. I hate to kiss my bf because I'm always worried about them being rough lol. I've tried everything from drinking tons of water, carmax, vasoline and even cooking with olive oil (for internal moisture) still the same...

So glad this was posted, was wondering today why my chapstick wouldn't work or my face cream. Hands are extremely cracked and bleeding and again.. Nothing works. I've tried coconut oil, hope Vaseline works.

I get really chapped lips too and I think it has to do with being congested all the time and only being able to breathe out of my mouth. It is terrible at night, I wake up with my lips stuck to my teeth and gums so I have a huge cup of water next to my bed every night. It's just another annoying symptom that there isn't much you can do about it.

Vaseline works wonders, well in my case! You could be sleep deprived, in my case,  if I don't sleep well, my lips gets so dry & crack. It could be the reason beside being dehydrated, so try to catch up with some beauty sleep.

I had this soo bad. My lips were cracked and rashes all the way pat past where my lips are. Nothing helped them get better but I noticed some chopsticks I used in past made it worse..like the ball chapsticks. I hated that.

Try drinking lots of water! You're probably dehydrated but don't know it. It worked for me. I was having really bad chapped lips and they were even cracking. Then I started drinking lots of water and my lips got so much better!! They are almost back to normal :)
