Yup, lip balm is good for prevention - but you probably want you lips smooth now, right? There are lip balms that have medication in them, and they work pretty well (I find).

When my lips are all peel-y, I get a soft tooth brush (I have one meant for little kids, so I use that) and put on a lot of lip balm, and then I gently brush my lips with the soft toothbrush for a bit. I've heard of people using a sugar-scrub too, but I like to think that the lip chap is helping to moisturize my lips at the same time I'm sloughing off the rough layers of skin. If you try it, just don't do it too often because I would imagine your lips would start getting raw and painful.

Ya, I would have to agree with the previous answer Carmex is pretty amazing stuff. Burt's Bees is also pretty good. The bottom line is that you have to keep them hydrated, whatever you do DO NOT l**k them it only makes them worse.

Buy some lip balm!! DUDE, have you NOT heard of it?? If that doesn't help, then you should go see a doctor. IMMEDIATELY.

Vaseline didnt work? i usually just put ALOT before i go to bed (that way i wont smudge it) and when I wake up and they're practically completley healed! But you have to put it on every night, because if you dont for a day or two they'll get all dry and cracked up again!

If thats not working for you then try carmex, it didnt work for me but its worked for lots of people i know!
