So I live in Tucson, and it's fucking dry. As a result my lips dry out frequently and start to peel a little. It seems I'm in a never ending cycle of my lips drying out, peeling, being chapped and maybe bleed a tiny bit, then heal up for a few days before repeating the cycle. I use chapstick with moisturizer and it doesn't seem to help beyond the short term. Anyone got any ideas? |

Reminds me of when I was a kid---had chapped lips and Dad said to rub cow manure on them. I looked at him like he was crazy  and he responded: The cow manure won't help the chapped lips, but it sure will keep you from licking them!I like Carmex in the jar. Seems to last longer on the lips......... |

It's possible that your condition has nothing to do with humidity, or any other form of moisture for that matter. Many things can cause chronic lip peeling beyond the level of moisture in the skin, including, but not limited to, incessant lip licking, contact dermatitis (fancy way of saying you're allergic/sensitive to something, e.g. toothpaste), fungal infections, immune disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and even psychological disorders. If it persists, I would consider seeing a dermatologist. |

Lots of people seem to be recommending burts bees maybe I will try that out. The only cause I can think of is that I am subconsciously licking my lips or something. So I'm trying hard not to for the time being. Thanks for the additional info liles, I will keep it in mind. |
