What works best for me and I have been using this since 2000 is good old Palmers Coco Butter Stick it's the cheapest at walmart then any place else for about like 1.80 or so. I really keeps my lips moisturized for a long time you rarely have to keep applying it like carmex that useless yellow tube of junk.

My best friend uses bag balm. She lives on a dairy farm, and they use it on the cows' udders. She absolutely swears by it. Her lips are almost never chapped! She also uses it for dry/chapped skin. It works wonders!

put an excess amount of carmex on at night. like a nice thick slab over your lips and in the morning your lips will be good as new because they have been absorbing the menthol, camphor, and phenol which helps bring back norm to your lips.

This Is A GREAT Remedy For Chapped lips and i swear by it!
A Good Idea is to carry around CHAPSTICK and in the morning, Afternoon, and before you go to bed put White Petrolium Jelly ( Clear Vasiline ) On Your Lips. This was recomended by the doctor. You can get some at Wal-mart it's CLEAR VASILINE. Or you can ask for some at your next check up or doctors appointment.

when you're in the shower, the steam and warm water will make your skin super soft. take your finger and rub your lips and you will find that the dry,dead skin comes right off and your lips will be smooth again. after you get out the shower, put on some chap stick. i personally am addicted to c.o. bigelow's rose salve. it can be used on lips, cuticles, and dry skin. I do this all the time and my lips are never chapped. And if I feel dry skin on my lips, it is gone by the time I step out of the shower.

gently brush your lips with a little spearmint toothpaste and your tooth brush, then lather shea butter or your fav.lip balm! The exfoliation of the brush with the spearmint gets rid of dead dull skin allowing all good nutrients to sink in !do 1-2x a week

I have read somewhere that putting a dab of basic moisturizer in your belly button before you go to bed will cure chapped lips. Have yet to try it, but someone give it a shot and post back!

Samen's Salve . Just get some on your finger and spread on your lips. leave it over night. Just remember not to lick your lips while its on because it tastes pretty gross. If I remember right it's actually used for scrapes and bites and such but it works great for chapped lips ( which is the only thing I've used it for)

I know you can buy it at Wal-Greens but I don't know about anywhere else.
