How to stop peeling dead skin off lips?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

? topical : May be due to dryness, so a good cream may help. May be due to allergies (mouth breathing/snoring) antihistamines may help that. Avoid irritants -, esp bright/white toothpastes.

Should you peel the dead skin off a blister and let the new skin heal? Or should you leave it alone? There is no fluid left under the top layer.
