Has anyone else have really chapped lips during pregnancy? I drink a lot but it seems like I just can't get enough to drink. Why could that be happening?

Try a sea salt scrub, to loosen the dead skin cells, it may cause a bit of bleeding to the raw skin but it may help a bit to heal with new skin

Put lots of chapstick on befor you go to sleep. I do that and it helps to soften and loosen the dead skin on my lips by the next morning

Omg, I thought that i was the only one enduring this...my lips are part alligator these days, no matter what I use. I have used carmex, blistex, soft lips, vaseline, aquaphor, a&d ointment and shea butter and to no avail nothing helps. Guess I'll be crusty the half gator lady until after delivery. :-(

My lips peeled like crazy in my first trimester. The peeling has abated some, but they are still dry. I use lip balm a lot.
