A member asked:

I am a black female with large lips that get chapped all day long, is there a way to prevent/cure the chapping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lip Balm: Best way to keep them moist is a good lip balm a number of times per day. Burt's bbes or any other organic lip balm is best way to keep them moist and not expose you to any unwanted chemicals.
