Need to treat until: Do you compulsively lick your lips? Warmer weather will help. Use chapstick or vaseline or aquaphor 10x a day. May need for months.

Dry/ wind/sun: Chapped lips? Hydrate well- water is best. You can apply lip balms with beeswax base or oil base creams. Remember that lips require solar protection just like your skin – apply & reapply balms or creams with a minimum spf of 15. Going skiing ?- protect from sun & windburn by covering with a scarf or a ski / snowboard face mask with visor. Dry air? - use a humidifier. Try not to lick your lips!

Unusual cause: I agree with previous answers. I have seen unresponsive dryness oof lips when there is fungal overgrowth in gastrointestinal tract. Treatment with no oral swish may help.
