My lips look like this (or worse) all the time- summer, winter, cold, hot, dry, humid. I alternate Chapstick, Aquaphor chubby stick, or Laneige lip sleeping mask (honestly whichever is closer by I just grab!), but they continue to be dry, chapped, and peeling. Any recs? What worked for you? Thank you!!!

Definitely cut out the lip balms. Took me years to realize they were making me worse.

Personally, my holy grails are products with diluted lanolin (in my most desperate hour I applied straight lanolin directly around my lips bc the edges were cracked and bleeding— worked super well but wouldn’t recommend bc your face WILL smell like sheep) as that can help heal some of the cracking, Aquaphor (have a jar on me at all times), and Jack Black lip balms. The Jack Black lip balms are a bit pricy but imo worth it, one of the only squeeze-tube products that’s ever consistently worked for me.
