Painfully dry lips?! 😭

My lips suddenly got so dry, chapped and sore. They hurt when eating or even opening my mouth. They feel chapped and rough, even after I did a lip scrub and followed up with a lip balm. How can I fix them quickly? Thank you for any help ladies! 💜

If they were dry and they cracked open, say when you were trying to eat, they need time to heal. Other than that, the scrub should've worked.

There's no bleeding, but as soon as I'd finished with the lip scrub, they felt just as dry? Is there a way to scrub more effectively? X.

Try putting a bit of toothpaste on your toothbrush and brushing your lips, rather than your teeth. That usually does the trick for me.

I like to use a lip conditioner. I use the one from julep and apply quite a bit before bed and then again when I wake up. It helps me a lot since I always have dry lips. I also like one from neosporin that comes in a small jar it's a night time thing.

Use lip scrub to remove the dead skin and give them a fresh start. Don't forget to hydrate your lips with lip balm / moisturiser xx

Also drink more water, it sounds like your body is really dehydrated!

I get this once or twice every few months, I have no idea what causes it, but I get the blistex intensive repair lip balm, the one in the dark blue pot, it has a pretty strong tingling sensation, which soothes and numbs the lips, I use it for a couple of days and it clears up pretty quickly.

It also works well to heal when the edges of your mouth get dry and split.

Hello I actually had this for the past few weeks. It was a reaction to some face wash I tried and it left my top and sides of my lip swollen and later very dry and cracked. At first I used Vaseline, then I ended up using the mint eos lip balm on the sides of my lip and that was the only thing that worked.

Use Aquaphor Healing Ointment. I use that every night before bed and it does wonders. Try not to exfoliate too much right now and let your lips heal!

I agree with Kate C. Aquaphor is fantastic and super effective!

I use a wet washcloth or gentle toothbrush with just cool water. I agree that Aquaphor is quick and effective. In the future, you may want to try Bite's Agave Lip Mask. Portable and insanely great.
