Chapped Lips

Does anyone else get chapped lips as much as I do? I can't stand it! Every school year, on comes the chapped-ness. It seems that througout the weekend, they are just fine, but as soon as I get to school on a Monday morning and get going, they get to chappin'. I think it is because I am literally talking ALLLLL DAY LONG.....literally. I like to sit still in the quiet after the kids leave and just NOT TALK...at all. I sometimes don't talk from around 3:30-5:30. Even after that, I don't have much to say. I am hoping this is normal. As for the chapped lips, I will take any advice you can give me. If you say to drink plenty of water...been there, done that.....no need to waste time typing that. If you say Blistex or other chapped lip meds...been there, done that.... BUT, if you know of some home remedy or some sort of other thing to try, I am all ears....HELP!

So...you know that I am the queen of products...Go and buy some Vitamin E gel capsules...Pop one-put the liquid from the capsule on your lips-sleep in it...then apply some more in the morning. Extra Vitamin E helps mine. When you come to B'ham-I'll get you some Vitamin E from that make-up store where I work-the sell it like a chapstick..but it is straight Vitamin E...it always helps mine!!! reeves

I hear Frank, the cab driver in Birmingham, has some GREAT chapstick you can borrow! HAHAHAHAHA!
Also, MAC lip balm in a tube is wonderful. I even have a blog devoted to it. Go read!
