Good evening. Is it hot in your place? Or winter is still there?
Here in my country, summer was officially announced by our government weather agency, so we expect that the population will be opening their umbrellas, wearing their hats, apply moisturizers or lotions with SPF, or using loose clothes. Increasing our oral fluid intake also helps us to be hydrated during this season.
Right now, although I drink plenty of water, I have dry and chapped lips. It is annoying me because the dead skin of my lips tends to peel off and I bite it to remove from the surface of my lips.
I have a small jar of Vaseline petroleum jelly and I think this will control the chapping of my lips. Of course, I will have to add more liters to my fluid intake.
Do you have dry and chapped lips during summer? What do you apply it with?

last night, i drank much because i had dysuria in late afternoon. i drank so much that i peed 3 times throughout the night.
my lower lip skin is starting to peel off again. i want to remove, but i think if i bite it out, the skin might get irritated and cause to bleed.

@mlgen1037 peeing a lot if you drink too much oral fluids is good because it cleanses your kidneys. one suggestion that i can share you is, try limiting your water intake at night so you won't pee frequently during your sleeping hours

I get that in winter. My bottom lip is chapped at the moment, but it's getting better as the humidity in the air increases, at least that's what I think is happening. Either that or spring is actually coming around to stay and my lips aren't as dry as they were. I use lots of chap stick in winter.

@ridingbet No, it shouldn't be, and I've never considered it.

i remember, my big brother had a tube of chap stick.
well, some men do have this stick because they too can have dry and chapped lips. so i think it is not good and right to think that men swiping chap stick on their lips should be considered gay.
