    Recently on holidays, I was on high mountains and generally at high altitude, my lips got so dry and I had no lips balm.
    Ended up with chapped lips and it was not pleasant. Then you feel like picking annoying loose skin on your lips., disaster, the air was very dry and cold where I was, when I got home my lips recovered quickly.

    Next time it happens, let me know. I'd have loved to have gotten me tweezers to them!

    Take a low-dose lysine supplement for cold sores. If you get a blister, crush one and make a paste and apply it directly.

    Otherwise use Blistex medicated stick on your lips to stop them chapping. Never lick your lips.

    God no, I will let no one near my lips with tweezers.
    I don't intend on letting it happen again.

    Any break in the skin can become infected, and sepsis can follow easier than you think. It's unlikely, but not impossible.
    But I'd have a superior immune system.

    OP I suffer with dry lips quite a bit in winter, central heating etc has them in a state.
    Something I've found really helpful is to give them a quick soft rub of my toothbrush whenever Im brushing my teeth. It helps to exfoliate and stimulate them.
    And I know it's been said already, but don't leave the house without a good smathering of a good quality lip balm like carmex or blisteze.

    He probably saves the skin off loads of unsuspecting lips to make himself a tunic or something.

    I bite my lips all the time too, the only get dry when I'm dehydrated, the last thing I would use is a petroleum based lip balm, they work by drawing moisture out of the skin, thus leaving them drier in the long term. :)
    Coconut oil is by far the best oil I've used, especially going out in the cold/windy weather.
    And the toothbrush rubbing as someone already mentioned.

    it's lebello I'm using. I don't think that has petroleum, but hard to get a straight answer online.

    I just find if I do that, I pay for my impulse half an hour or so later when it starts stinging like feck, and it stays sore like that for up to a day, so not worth it. If it doesn't hurt, it's probably grand.
