Try Vaseline until they heal because it makes your lips moist but it doesn't have chemicals and stuff in it so it won't hurt. When they're fine you can start using Carmex again. Make sure you ALWAYS moisturize your lips before putting lipstick on because lipstick can be really drying.

Ditch all fancy lip balms for a while. stick to vaseline or aquaphor.

I agree with Alyssa when my lips are sore and cracked I always dab some Vaseline on them at night and sleep with it on and in the morning they feel much better.

I would try the brand Chapstick. And yes, Carmex might hurt, but that means it's healing. I honestly don't find Vaseline effective. It makes it feel better and it burns less, but once it wears off it's still chapped and dry. It literally just sits on top of your lips.

You may want to consider a medicated lip balm, some of blistex's balms are fantastic?

Vaseline is just a sealant. So any moisture there stays there, but it doesn't add moisture (and it blocks any moisture coming from other sources, like humid air for example) I would go with any Chapstick without petroleum/Vaseline or alcohol in it. My favorite is the vitamin e one from the body shop. For a quick at home fix, dab a bit of oil (extra virgin olive oil works best since you know it's food grade, which means edible) on your lips and let it soak in for 5-10 minutes. Then apply some Vaseline or
good grade coconut oil since they are both sealants. I do this when my lips are cracked and I don't want to put Chapstick on. I find Chapstick hurts since it's thicker.

You sound like your dehydrated if your not drinking enough water your lips are the first place that will show it try Using aquaphor lip repair ,make sure it's the lip repair not just the regular aquaphor.

Do not exfoliate if your lips are cracked and bleeding.

Like Alyx said, Vaseline alone does nothing. I always swear by Carmex (the tingling wears off quickly) but if that is too intense then find another brand of unscented balm.

Definitely drink more water and avoid sun exposure until your lips heal. Then make sure you use a balm with SPF to protect them.

Did this just happen suddenly? It almost sounds like an allergic reaction or something. It's odd to me your lips would be that dry in summer. Unless they're sunburned? Is that a possibility?

I bet they're sunburned! I would not use the Carmex but try treating like sunburn. Use aloe or cocoa butter on them. You poor thing! That must be awful.
