Cut lip: Since the skin is so thin and the lips are constantly moving a split lip oesn't heal easily. Keep it well moisturized.

Vaseline: The simplest method to keep your lip moist & allow for normal healing with constant cracking is to apply vaseline as often as necessary throughout the day. Be sure not to keep licking your lip as this just dries it out. If it's over a week & still not healed, see your dentist, physician or a dermatologist to make sure there are no other medical issues than needs addressing.
