Chapped Lips

Nix · 18 May 2010 at 18:18

Whenever I'm stuck in a room with air conditioning for an extended period of time, I always get really bad chapped lips and it's always the air conditioning that causes it.

About four days ago, the air conditioning was turned on at work, and I could literally feel my lips drying out there and then. For the last four days I've been religiously applying chap-stick (oo-er you big gay).

I can't be the only one who experiences this, can I?

Get some proper lip stuff. Sucks working in an air-con office sometimes.

This is what I use. Usually take it out with me too. It's not really that gay making sure your lips aren't looking swollen and damaged.

Carmex works wonders for me. Try out a few different ones and see which works best for you.

I used to get chapped lips and i made a more conscious effort to drink more water...seemed to help me at least.

You should speak to the lad in the skincare thread, maybe he can help?

wear some knickers....if you're a bloke vaseline.

Vaseline and don't lick your lips!

I thought keeping them moist would help but it makes it 10x worse.

My lips are constantly dry, hard and peeling off, is this the same thing?

No, I mean my lips are fine 99% of the time, but when I get stuck somewhere with air conditioning for a period of time (say a flight, work, etc.) I get chapped/dry lips as a direct result of the air conditioning.

I drink enough water, so it's not for dehydration. Air conditioning and my lips just don't seem to like each other.
