I apologize if this is in the wrong category, but I need help!

I have ALWAYS had extremely chapped and cracked lips to where they would bleed and it is an ugh experience. I am not sure if I should exfoliate or just moisturize them more often or what, but I really need help! I will do D.I.Y's, buy products really anything. I just really need help because they are only getting worse and I want them to be better before school.

Thanks lovelys^?^

I love Aqauphor and Nivea! Also try exfoliating, but not too much...

Elizabeth Arden lip balm from the 8 hour cream line it's soooo good worth the $25.

Medicated blistix, especially the one that comes in a white tube. I swear get blistix and put a crapload on before you go to bed, like a ton on, next morning after you rinse it off it should make your lips way better. It always works for me. I think putting a ton on overnight is more beneficial than reapplying a little on throughout the day.

If they are cracked and bleeding, do not exfoliate. Focus on hydration. Usually dry lips are a sign that you aren't getting enough fluids; try and drink more water. Use a medicated balm like Carmex or Aquaphor until they aren't cracked, then use a balm with SPF to protect the delicate new skin from sun damage.

I used to have the same issue. I swear by Carmex, it is my holy grail lip balm.
