Chapped dry skin round mouth - recommendations?

[snickersnack]

dd has very sore dry skin around her mouth - as soon as the temperature drops below 10 degrees she gets these very red patches. Her hands are also dreadful - sore and cracked. I've explained she needs to dry them carefully, but she just looks so sad and unhappy. She doesn't have excema or any allergies - it's just a reaction to the cold.

Any recommendations for treating it? If someone's got some inpsired ideas for gentle remedies, I'll bundle them both up and take them out later to go the chemist. But everyone's ill and sad, so not a trip I want to take unless we've got some good ideas.

She's nearly 4.

I just put vaseline around their mouths, would probably do the same to hands, tbh. Or put oil in the bath? Thumb sucking and dribbling make all this worse - DS1 is 7 now, and has stopped sucking his thumb, and his mouth is a lot better.

yes vasaline is good but i wait until they have gone to sleep and then wipe it over the sore patches.

Vaseline for protection. Waitrose bottom butter is good to help dry skin too.

A Lipsyl thing is good to put in their school bag too.

Yep, me too vasaline on lips, cheeks, eyelids and around the nose for all that extra wiping we have to do

go to the docs and see if you can get some creams. My 3 year old is having the same issues, her whole skin is awfully chapped, including her face. We got some cetraben emollient cream and it seems to be helping her.
