I use the mint julips and lip balm by lush which is great. Another great one is burts bees!!

When/if I remember, I use a toothbrush to exfoliate my lips. I'm usually too lazy by the end of the night after I wash my makeup off so I don't do it as much as I should. Then I apply my EOS lip balm.

(I'm probably the only person in the world who hasn't tried Burts Bees lip balms yet, lol.)

For whatever reason I really like the ELF Lip Balm in Strawberry. It does have parabens so if you aren't into that don't get it. I've heard really good things about Jack Black lip balm.

How funny, I JUST tried a honey/brown sugar scrub on my lips and I LOVE it. My lips are constantly chapped (I lick and chew on them...so bad), but this made them feel pretty good and I'll probably start doing it every day or every other day. As far as lip balms, I like to use natural brands like yes to carrots or dr. bronners (these are sooo yum) :)

I learned this from my facialist recently- no matter how moisturizing your lip balm is, if you don't exfoliate your lips, the lip balm won't do anything! You could do a DIY lip scrub (there's TONS), use a toothbrush, be lazy like me and buy the Lip Scrub by Sara Happ, or use somthing like glominerals lip ritual which exfoliates without being abrasive. Then afterwards with whatever balm you like. I use Nivea a Kiss of Moisture and Yes to Carrots most of the time. Hope this helps!

Exfoiliate your lips and EOS is my favorite lip balm.

just an fyi, petroleum jelly is probably not the best choice. It is basically all mineral oil. Mineral oil doesn't let your skin breathe...so yes it locks the moisture in which is why it is so hydrating but it isn't good for your skin.

lip scrubs are always great.. ( i know they are just sugar and oils..) but I love them .. and the EOS lipbalm is wonderful.. I am a lip balm nut and found the EOS lip balm to be the best!

I exfoliate with LUSH's Mint Julips, which isn't a drug store product, but obviously there are quite a few home remedies to exfoliate your lips and use Burt's Bees, which I love.

For a DIY for chapped lips I first take a warm washcloth and press it to my lips for about a minutes. Then I use a toothbrush to gently exfoliate for about 10-15 seconds on each lip. Then I press a warm washcloth to them again for about 30 seconds and apply aquaphor advanced therapy healing ointment. Its SUPER moisturizing and only about $12 for a legit HUGEEE tube that will last you a life time! and I mean HUGGGEEE! I talk about it in my everyday skincare routine video if your interested...here is the link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnfnielo6aM

I use aquaphor on my lips in the morning when i get out of the shower and before i go to bed. It's like vaseline but a little creamier and you can use it on your hands or anywhere else on your body!

Like Victoria I too follow this regiment.

1. "Exfoliate" my lips but with a facial brush. Those you can find for $1 at most dollar type store or just under a $5 at Target, Walmart, etc, etc. I've never been able to get past using a toothbrush - even a brand spanking new one - on anything but teeth. lol

2. LOTS of moisturizer for the lips - Vaseline in Honey is a good one but like she mentioned if you're not a petroleum fan there are other lip products to use.

3. Vitamins are a must. Not only do you get beautiful lips but skin, hair and nails! Take a normal multi-vitamin daily. SKIP the ones mention "just for" hair or nails because those typically contain excessive amounts of vitamins and minerals that can - over time - cause poisoning.

Because of all the Hype I bought E.O.S lip balm and believe it or not it dried my lips out, when my lips weren't even dry to start off with.

Lush has this amazing lip scrub. It's so good you can eat it. I mean not eating the entire jar but you know what I mean lol. The flavor I have is mint and it does wonders. With this cold dry season and my lips are always chapped the scrub really helps. The only lip balm or chap stick that I've used for years is Carmex. Also the aquafina chap stick is great also. I love the packaging.

I like Burts Bees Lip Balm. Beware of drying agents in lip balms! They will just make it worse. Also exfoliate. I like to use the Lush lip scrubs but you can make your own with olive oil and sugar =)

Something different works for everyone, but if your lips are dry then your not drinking enough, try to drink more water, or juice rather than soda if you even drink soda. and exfoliate gently, and don't use apricot scrub as it tears up your skin, just the tooth brush and a cleanser is fine, you don't actually need a scrub.

I use Rosebud Strawberry lip balm, it maybe $7 but it lasts ages. If I don't have that I use Kiss my face Vanilla Honey

My HG lip balm is Chapstick in Medicated, been using it for over 2 years now and never had a problem with it. I have tried other brands every now and then (Burt's Bee's, Carmex, EOS, Blistex) but they ended up drying my lip. The worst one being Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm. :/

One I really want to try is Chapstick 100% Naturals Lip Butter, since I heard great things about it. But sadly I can't find it at any drugstore, might just order it online.

I exfoliate with sugar, honey & olive oil.
My favorite drugstore brand of chapstick is Aquafina. It works well as a lip conditioner at night, as well as a lip protector [it has spf] during the day. I've only been able to find it at Wal*Mart

I love my EOS lipbalm :) It smells like honey dew! I also love burts and bees, the original cherry chapstick, and my true shimmer tropical chapstick. The last one smells like pineapples and coconut! Yum!

I am a big big fan of blistex Silk&Shine its been my fav for years! I'm big into not feeling anything to heavy so the silk&shine is light and works great! Plus gives a bit of shine! My personal favorite!
