Chapped lips: Carmex is an easy product to find and usually very resilient. You may also try Vitamin E oil-pierce a capsule and squeeze to apply to the lips and surrounding area. The moisture will be absorbed(Vit E is an antioxidant). Also consider taking 1-2 teaspoonsful of Flax seed oil(1-2 capsules) per day. Moisturize from the inside out>
