My lips are constantly dry & cracked. The skin comes off, then they're super-tight, they burn, they split again & on & on. What can I do to break this cycle? I don't use lipstick or any makeup. Vaseline is no good. I used to use Lypsil but I'm trying to give it up. I'm sure your lips aren't meant to be this dry if they're healthy. What can I do?

Warm olive oil usually helps

I found a tea tree oil stick (like a lipstick) for very dry, cracked lips. After 3 weeks of regular use, lips are healed! I had tried every remedy I could find to no avail prior to this.

Burts Bees lip balm or L' Occitane.
Cheaper everyday lip balms tend to perpetuate the problem.

When ever I have any kind of skin dryness I always turn to Olive Oil, virgin olive oil and it always works.
