I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you’ve probably had chapped lips at some point.
Here’s what’s happening. Your lips are pretty delicate things - this one at the top is your Labium superius oris, and the one at the bottom is your Labium inferius oris. Collectively they form an enormously sensitive, incredibly flexible part of your body.
However, they also have some vulnerabilities. For instance, the skin of your lips is different from the rest of your face - let’s take a closer look.
Here we go - this is your skin!
The outer layer is called the epidermis, and it has a protective covering called the stratum corneum. Underneath your epidermis is another layer of skin, the dermis.
Like the rest of your skin, your lips have all three of these layers -- the difference is that the stratum corneum on your lips is way thinner than it is anywhere else on your body. In fact, it’s part of the reason people’s lips have that alluring red or pink pigment. It comes from underlying blood vessels -- red-colored, blood-filled capillaries close to the thin skin on your lips.
Next, your lips also don't have the oil and sweat glands that protect other parts of your skin. Their only source of moisture is your saliva, and that's why they can easily become dry and chapped.
And that’s usually the culprit here: hydration. We often experience chapped lips in cold weather - not because our lips are allergic to winter or anything, but instead because the outside air tends to be drier, and this also dries out the lips.
And this drying out is the leading cause of chapped lips, also known as common cheilitis. Luckily, there are some pretty simple ways to prevent this.
First, and no matter what the cause of your chapped lips might be… stop licking them! I know, I know it can be a difficult habit to break. But licking your lips can contribute significantly to dry, cracked skin. The saliva evaporates quickly, taking with it any moisture that was already on your lips and leaving them even drier, especially in winter air.
And speaking of amazing segueways, let’s tackle weather-related chapping. If you have very dry air in your house, consider investing in a humidifier.
If you’re outside, then protect your lips with a product that contains beeswax or petrolatum, which will help maintain your lips' hydration. If you plan to be out in the sun for awhile, help prevent dryness by using a sunscreen on your lips as well. A lip balm with SPF in it could help address both of these issues at once -- and, as always, drinking plenty of fluids is a great move for your entire body, not just your lips.
And that’s it. Well, almost. We didn’t talk about the multiple other causes of chapped lips, or lip balm addiction, or whether some of the ingredients in those things actually cause chapped lips - an interesting little conspiracy theory.

Thumb up if your lips are chapped right now

my lips are breaking
I hate it
My lips and nose are bleeding more often than not.
Am i the only one who aside from licking my lips also bites some of the skin off?
Its addicting to me ughhh!!
I wanna stop but i do it without noticing :(
Yaa bruhh this same problem irritates me to hell
Sammmee I start picking at my lips subconsciously and by the time I notice I literally cant stop
Yessss and It looks super weird when I’m doing it
Bruh I love peeling it. I still peel it when I’m bleeding on my lips. My mum always cringe when I’m peeling it. My hand is always around my mouth. It’s seems I’m addicted
For me when my lips are chapped i peel them off its so good but it also hurts at the same time then blood marks starts to appear -.-
I literally rip the skin of my lips my lips are always bloody
SAMEEE
Same
Same i really cant help it at all . Like 2 years ago i had full big pretty lips now because of my anxiety i rip the skin to stop stressing so now i have bloody shaped ugly lips . I hate my life
All day, Everyday
Same. Ive been picking my lips for over a decade. I'm trying to stop doing this so.my lips can return to their normal color
.its been 2wks and I've barely picked . Fingers crossed
sometimes it's so chapped that if one laughs suddenly, then lips start to get blood marks

If your lips have open cuts, don't exfoliate. Keep them clean and moisturize them with body lotion.
When the splits and wounds heal into that grayish, dry, crinkly layer of dead skin, do this ⬇️
Either make or buy a sugar or salt scrub. It doesn't matter if a store bought jar says it's for your body. I use a mixture of olive oil and salt. Scrub the exfoliant on your lips with your index finger with little pressure. If you feel a significant burning sensation, stop because that means you've worn away more than the dead skin. After maybe 2 minutes, rinse that off and if you want to get the oily feel off your chin and philtrum, wash your face with soap. Don't dry off your lips; keep them very wet. Immediately apply either coconut oil or lotion (yes, literal body lotion, not chapstick) with your finger. Over that, put on a layer of aquaphor. It might feel like there's 10 pounds on your lips but this really helped me.
Drink at least 3x 16 ounces glasses of water a day.
I know what dry, cracked, peeling, bleed-when-you-smile lips are like. When I started doing this, I actually felt good about my lips. Good luck!!!
Ik same 😭
What's crackin?
Your lips........

Junior Arreola ooooooo you get a point

I always have chapped lips
(I’m screaming bruh I forgot I commented this when I was 13 and now I’m 17 and I still get replies)
Also I still have chapped lips 😻
i tried Burt Bees (the silver cover one, they said it moisture the most). Yes it does help but once I stopped my lips chapped again :(
Seventeen: You need vitamin B2/B3 (search for the food sources) and yolk plus what Sammy Hernandez said.

+Ogun Nugo thank you!!
You have to try Lypsyl! I tried every chapstick (expensive ones too) while I was on Accutane and nothing helped my super dry bleeding lips like Lypsyl. Not gonna lie, some expensive ones were good but Lypsyl is just as good and only $4. I cannot recommend you it enough. I could talk about it all day. I LOVE it. Hope I helped
Guys! Please read, this is important!
If you already apply a lip balm routinely, use a very moisturizing stuff for your lips and it's still chapped, you might have a fungal in your lips named: *Angular cheilitis.*
This fungus grows in the corner of your mouth because it's humid in there.
You might experience: An extremely chapped lips, or the corner of your lips bleeds, etc (Please Google for more information).
I experienced this fungus too. In the past, my lips is always dries, chapped, and it would bleed.
No matter how lip balm I use, it's still chapped.
My dentist told me that I have angular cheilitis. She prescribed me a 2% ketoconazole cream. After weeks using the cream routinely, the fungus disappeared. I've never experienced a chapped lips again ever since.
Dude same happened to me i used so. E medicine prescribed by my doc and that thing went away but it left a black stain on side of my lips and now I don't know what to do
I used to lick my lips to get them “moisturized” but now I know why everyone told me to stop licking them..🙅🏾♀️😂
yes i always lick my lips and my grandma says keep licking them it will help cause she thought it will moisturize my lips LMAO
Lol yeah
Same
I created a Hydration Tube that will provide moisture but hydration for healthier looking skin! Check me out Loula Girl Lip Therapy!
*licks them*
STOP LICKING THEM ALREADY

j e s s i c a I recommend Aquaphor.
How many of you licks your lips while watching this video??
me!it just felt good too!💋not even like those!
me I like licking them 😅
monkiboi16 me!
I usually lick my lips, but not during this video😋
I licked them sooo many times before she said to stop licking them
For those with dry lips or chapped lips, I want to share this with you...
After you brush your teeth I find it the easiest to remove the dead skin on top of your lips so with one finger just gently scratch all the dead skin on your lips and it will go without any pain. After you remove all the dead skin, you will have the new skin and its when right away you have to moisturize it. I use Nuxe Reve de Miel Moisturizing Stick. So apply it right away and this will help to keep your lips in great condition and obviously you can reapply throughout the day to keep the good condition. Like this you will minimize or even eliminate dry lips and chapped ones and having dead skin on top of them. :)
Or, just have water everyday,
+RashidIsBiking Abu Tayyem Skin cells still die and build up
+Jared Hoffert I do this everyday
:( I always have chapped lips- it reappears within a couple of hours.
same izzy, my one re appears after a few minutes. and im still drinking water but nothing is happening, and i did your think but it didnt work
Remedy:
rub 100% organic coconut oil on them throughout the day
When brushing your teeth, brush your lips too
and lastly, use chapstick and let it sit until it soaks it up.
my lips are smooth now.
Or just drink lots of water.
Yeah I do that except the coconut oil
MIA H. Yeah it dries out my skin as well. I think the people who promote coconut oil are doing more harm than good.
Well it works for them קמרוןSnipethemapplesקמרון

“We often experience chapped lips in cold weather.” I live in a town named Frostburg, no wonder I have chapped lips.
Omg, thank you! I ALWAYS lick my lips when they are a bit dried, and when I watched this video, I learned that saliva will dry up the moisture! No wonder I always have chapped lips.
Same with me too but it is so hard to stop and I love doing it😭
My lips are always dry. I drink tons of water so I'm not dehydrated, i don't ever lick my lips, i apply chapstick with spf in it all the time. >.
Tabe tha use coconut oil
Use a different lip balm
It might be genetic
lol holy shit everyone is so clueless its a shame really, you either have a iron, copper or b2 deficency, its all iron but both copper and b2 transports iron
@@masteryeet5912 aint anything like that, she is deficent in vitamins, like most in the comment are here, and clueless
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Labium Oris?
Hahaha . That's so freaking funny
+Andrew Manford lets find out a one an twoo a three its impossible
Andrew Manford go home😂
HAHAHA! My lips are bleeding because I can’t stop licking them
Fuck HAHAHAHA
my lips usually get chapped because i have this thing when my lips are alittle bit chapped and i put on chapstick but it makes it more chapped
Have you tried Lypsyl? It is the BEST and not expensive. It is the only lip balm that helped me through Accutane (which is a treatment that dries your lips a LOT to the point where they bleed. You can google it) And now I still use it whenever my lips are dry. It makes my lips so hydrated that I can just rub my lip with my fingers and all the dead skin will come off. It is the best I have ever used. If you hate wearing chapstick like me, use it before sleeping and remove it in the morning. I hope this helps
amany issa
thx
GalaxyLlamaCorn saaaaammmmmeeee i thought i was the only one but when i stoped using chapstick and other lips product and they are just fine i hope that you will soon be gifted with soft lips😊😊😊😊
i use eos all the time and really do make my lips really dry! so now i have to buy a different brand of chapstick
thanks
When I was younger, I would lick my lips all the time and this went on for years. I finally got out of the habit of licking my lips but unfortunately my lips just don't seem to want to heal or go back to normal. I drink a lot of water too so hydration isn't the problem. My lips get chapped, dry, and flaky even though I dont lick them. I do use chapstick and my licks start looking great

Emma Gray I agree but that’s too much work.Im going to use chapstick.
Someone needs to do a video on lip balm/vaseline/petrolatum ointment addiction and this is the channel for it!!
It's not just my lips that need multiple applications of said ointment per day, but the area around my nostrils and mouth, i think the natural oil production of my skin in those areas stopped working altogether because of how much balm i slather on myself. whether i'm at home, work, out, i NEED balm, and want to try to get off this train of madness.

After I got off the shower, I normally put my chapstick on.
Vaseline works as a great lip balm and my favourite actual lip balms that don't make you lips chapped if you keep applying it are eos and Nivea. Hope this helps for anyone with chapped lips
As soon as you eat it wears off! I have a Hydration Tube that will help with this dry lip condition.
It helps fkr me but it appears after like 1 day and starts to get worst :( pleas help me!

I was surprised that she didn't mention the fact that our saliva aids digesting food, so when you lick your lips, you're allowing your saliva to break down the tissue of your lips, making them even worse.
That's because that's not true. Though it is slightly acidic, saliva is more lubricant than anything, moistening the food as you chew it so it can slide down easier. Otherwise, licking would be our ultimate defense tactic. One lick and an attackers skin would get major chemical burns.
+Jeremy Cantrell Here's a quote from Discovery Health:
"Saliva contains digestive enzymes -- including amylase and maltase -- that wear the lips' thin skin down, leaving them vulnerable to environmental exposure like dry air."
Rob Chang I must say, I stand corrected. According to this article...
classroom.synonym.com/names-enzymes-mouth-esophagus-17242.html
saliva has everything necessary to begin the breakdown of fats, proteins, and starches. I wonder if all of this is why lip skin is so thin to begin with, and licking them throws off the balance.
+Jeremy Cantrell Haha, it looks like we need an expert to sort this out, because guess what the mothership website of Brain Stuff, How Stuff Works, says about this?
"Not only does the evaporating saliva dry out your lips, but the enzymes in saliva can break down the skin's protective barrier"
health.howstuffworks.com/skin-care/moisturizing/basics/moisturize-lips.htm
i licked my lips all my life...i never knew this :o
Don't use lip balm. Instead use coconut oil and scrub your lips gently with toothbrush once a day. Coconut oil would heal your chapped lips in 4-5 days permanently. After that keep applying it in the morning and before going to bed everyday to maintain that softness. So have patience. It's not a quick fix like lip balm that only provides temporary moisture and then dries out your lips once it off. Unlike lip balm coconut oil won't dry out your lips when it's removed. So it would make your lips healthy by making it softer and also not making lips dependent on it.

I'm 42 years old and have had chapped lips every day of my life, regardless of the season (I live in Minnesota). I drink lots of water and have tried various cures; nothing works. I have also tried not licking my lips for many days, but my lips still chapped. The only thing that sorta worked was supplenting with omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil - yum!); but not even that solved the problem. For people like me, I think there's something else going on.
Me too
what people like us can possibly do?
you arent hydrated enough
It's either a copper, iron or, vitamin b deficiency
I have severe lip crack. I used riboflavin. It used to work but now a days 6 tablets a day is not enough.

Is it bad to be addicted to lip balm? cause I apply it at least once an hour. and I carry it in my purse, 3 to be exact. but no matter what I do or how much lip balm I apply my lips are always chapped. in the winter they get so chapped that they bleed and I don't know what to do.
I have an eos, a blistex lip balm and a Nivea lip balm
Yeah I don't use the eos much but I will try out the Burts bees one
thank you for suggesting it
I use Carmex works for me and my lips are so DRY RIGHT NOW FYI I lost my Carmex 😖
My friend does it way more
She applies it at least every 5-30 minutes
And in her house there's about 13 eos lip balms
I just wanna know my lip line is red and it kind of peels please someone help me.
Ashley Davis A lot of people have it stop licking them
I have that :(
Does it hurt? Mine is peeling and it dont hurt and its satisfying
That happens when you lick your lips. So if you want it to go away I suggest using Vaseline if you have any, it always helps to get rid of it for me.
I have it in my ear during winter, it bleeds a lot... ☹️

Came here again to share my recovery. Mix honey and boroplus,apply a thin layer overnight. It will take out upper layer of the skin. It will go away on its own without being rubbed while washing face the next morning. Keep applying during the day time also and repeat. Good luck 🍀
I'm addicted to lip balm. The tubes also lose me quite often. I'm sure you can imagine the ridiculous amount of times I've said "hey, I lost my lip balm again. I need to get seven more in case I lose one!"

Almond oil no one knows about it but it helps your lips so much! I make homemade lip balm with almond oil and beeswax it is great!!!!
A tip : mix plain greek yoghurt and honey in 1/2 ratio, dip a thin cottonpad into the mixture and put it on your lips for around 20 minutes, use daily. It helped me.
Ooh i forgot, wash it off after the 20 mins, and apply lipbalm afterward to lock in the moisture
i don’t feel pain when i get chapped lips.
its actually pretty addictive.

Hello, it’s dehydration, if it’s to this point where your lip areas are drying out, just drinking lots of water won’t help much.
You need to add electrolytes to you water, ( not gator aid ) but pedia lite or something from the Pharmacy section.
Coconut water is excellent
Thank god im not turning ugly, its just winter being winter
Watching this video with chapped lips 😁
Mark Angelot lol same but ik why so idk why I'm watching 😂😂
Phew I almost ate a stick of butter 😂
i like the 8 ball music playing in the background
when you thought it was a cold sore but it was just chapped lips.😭
The soundtrack is from 8ball
Who here doubts that they can change their lips... i can't
Try making or buying a sugar scrub and scrubbing that on your lips with your index finger with little pressure. Rinse that off after maybe 2 minutes and don't dry your lips off so that they are still very wet. Immediately apply either coconut oil or lotion (yes, literal body lotion, not chapstick) with your finger. Over that apply aquaphor. It will feel like there's 10 pounds on your lips but I have found that it truly helps. Drink at least three bottles of water a day. Good luck!!!
Also if your lips have open cuts or are bleeding, just keep them clean and moisturize them, don't exfoliate. Wait until the wounds heal into that grayish dry crinkly layer of dead skin.
"stay hydrated" But all i do is drink water and just end up peeing and i use coconut oil but my lips peel right after and vaseline is ass like I want glossy soft lips for onc ike jin or jimins of bts

I have the flu and my lips are extremely dry to the point where theres a lot of little cuts :,) I suggest to stay hydrated and overload on a natural lip balm or favored oil (ex. Olive oil, vitamin e oil, coconut oil...). It'll help soothe your lips the longer it sinks in. If your lips has little cuts from the dryness DON'T use a minty lip balm such as carmex because it will sting and cause irritation!
Is it just me or yall be picking your chapped lips
So not use petroleum jelly...dries out lips..mint burt's bees lip balm works though God bless you all📿
No it doesn't
it doesn't work as well for me...maybe others though?
Yeah for me it works but it doesn't dry out skin
+Malachi Williams Petroleum jelly doesn't? Good to know, thanks.
Lypsyl is THE BEST. Try is and you'll fall in love and never go back to another chapstick ever again. It got me through Accutane and that is proof enough that it is awesome! Hope this helps
My lips are so dry to the extend that I’ve been peeling off the dried ones. My lips will be bleeding but I keep on peeling it. Every time my hand will be around my lips n my parents n siblings will be like what at all is on your lips 😅.
tip: •♡°use coconut oil to make lips uncrakced...... almost°♡•
this may sound quite weird, but it works due to science.
if you want soft lips, put castor oil, almond oil, coconut oil, or any kind of oil that is safe to use on skin and that you are NOT allergic to in your belly button before going to bed. put a few drops in your belly button, slather a TON (and I mean a TON, you want big globs of this stuff) of Vaseline on your lips at night, depending on how chapped your lips are. do this for 3-4 nights and your lips should become soft and pink. put good chapstick on throughout the day like when you get up, after you brush your teeth, and after you eat. I recommend EOS, Burt's Bees, Nivea. Try not to lick your lips or bite the dead skin off of them. The reason this works is because your belly button is connected to a lot of nerves and capillaries and done of them leads to your lips. Basically what the oil is doing is hydrating your lips from the inside and the vaseline hydrates them from the outside. You'll thank me later:)
P.S. I am not any dermatologist of some sort this is just a tip that my mom gave me who isn't a dermatologist either she told me this stuff and i did it and it works amazing
I rub semen on my lips. it keeps them pretty moisturized
I need some, too.
Ulysses M. what for real ???? 😳
I use my own.
Ulysses M.
WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂
Just apply 10 layers of Vaseline like what im doing rn🙂✨
I don’t lick my lips and they get extremely chapped, dry and it peels.
Same
So....there's moisture on my lips, but if I add more by licking, that existing moisture evaporates? WTF? Why wouldn't it evaporate on it's own?
The saliva
When you already do all this but still have chapped lips
Who’s here cuz they have chapped lips
Nothings working JESUS that's it Im litreally gonna buy every lip balm and chap stick in the store I need some thing
late reply but I use burts bees and its a lip balm made with real bees wax, it works really well for me and it doesn't leave your lips feeling sticky as some lip balms do! it can be bought in boots if your in the UK but they also sell it on amazon if you're from another country☺️
+Katie Alice in America you can literally get them anywhere
+Savanna Williams I wish they were that easy to get in the UK, many others are virtually everywhere too but I've only ever found burts bees in boots
+Katie Alice that sucks. I've found some at a gas station before lol
Katie Alice thanks for the tip
I always bite the skin of my lip. Would that cause any probkems?
yes that makes them more chapped
Muser Choice yummy. 😂 jk I only bite the skin from my bottom lips
I do it too, but really only to try and get off dead skin
Jonathan Zepeda I do it too and I find it leaves me with lips so sore I can't eat and talk . Help me PLEASE
When you bite your lips you take the thin skin off unessacerily risking infection.
My superpower is buying chapstick and then loosing said chapstick immediately afterwards
i don't normaly have chapped lips just mostly in the winter or sometimes on the sides of my mouth for some reason,
some other ways to also stop getting chapped lips is to make a honey and sugar lip scrub you can add olive oil if you want and it has really helped me, the last step is to definitly use your chapstick (lipbalm)
I started licking my lips when I was small because I thought that would help making my lips wet and not chopped 😂🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
