Does anyone else have problems with their lips peeling? If so, do you have any tips or advice in dealing with it

I have this problem - with my lower lip only! It is dry and chapped even in the summer. I think it is due to my dry mouth from Sjogren's. I have tried all sorts of lip balms but they don't seem to work unless I apply them constantly. I also apply face or hand cream to my lips after showering or washing my face which helps a little.

Constantly especially with my top lip. I have had creams from doctor & bought every product including a lip balm at £36 but the most effective is O’Keefs lip balm. Have to use it constantly & apply a lot at bed time.

I also have this and I live in humid Florida. You’d think that would help. I’ve tried all kinds of balm but I agree with NeeNaw, O’Keefs is best. I’ve only just found it recently and I love it. Still have the problem, but it helps.

My favorite product is Lip Medex by Blistex. I apply nightly right before I go to bed. Soothes, moisturizes, heals. Good stuff .

So happy I saw this post. Out of the blue, I started having ongoing chapped lips- mostly on the lower lip at present but it’s been both lips. I keep chap sticks all over the house and use lip

Medex too at night. Don’t know what’s it’s from

I have this problem also, I have for many years now. Only realised in the past few months that it could possibly be linked to Sjogrens. I apply Vaseline a LOT!

good old fashioned Vaseline, also up my nose to help ulcers, keeps it all lubricated xx

I have. It seems to be when I'm having some kind of flair. My lips feel like bad sunburned. I have mixed connective tissue disease but the dr is having s hard time confirming a diagnosis. It's been years
