Many causes: There are many possible causes of your dry, cracked lips. Often, the lip balms themselves lead to dryness and stopping them allows the lips to heal. Vitamin deficiencies are a common cause. The best thing to start with is maintaining a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and getting a good 7 hours of sleep a night. Often the lips will heal on their own.
