Help! My lips are fraying!!

[chippylips]

Just that. I've never experienced this before. My lips are dry and chapped, feel swollen and agony to eat anything remotely spicy. I've been putting a lip mask on at night have tried EA8hr cream - NOTHING is working. I had the awful flu virus over Christmas, not sure if linked, but am at my wits end. Anyone had similar or can offer advice?

I almost never have chapped lips since I was told by a nurse that drinking plenty of water solves the problem. It really works.
But also..the best lip salve ever is based on hemp oil by the company YAOH. It's magic.

Thanks for all your kind recommendations. Coconut oil didn't do anything. Didn't get to shops today for blistex but now looking delightful with sudocreme all over my gob. Will report back x

The only thing that helps my daughter is Chapstick Red. Nothing else.

Thanks to you all - especially those who recommended Blistex. Started it today and feel a massive difference already. Bless you all 💋
