I have revolting, peeling, chapped, dried-up lips. Always have. They are like mummified filo dough. I drink gallons of water, so that's not the problem. I exfoliate every couple of days.
Products I've tried:
Carmex pot
Nuxe Reve de Miel
Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream
Lanisoh nipple cream
Burt's Bees
Laura Mercier lip something or other
Various hydrating oils (anything from stretch mark oil to coconut oil)
I've also tried not using any lip balm at all in case I've become some sort of addict. That didn't work either - after a week or two they got so bad they were bleeding.
I don't have dry skin anywhere else (if anything I'm over-oily). Is this just how my lips are and I have to live with it? I feel sorry for my DH who has to kiss my awful crackly mouth. Is there any magical thing I haven't tried yet?

Do some people just have chapped lips and there's nothing to be done about it?
