I have very dry lips and i pill them off..urgg!?

Question:

Ok so i have a very dry and choppy lip, and have to keep apply lip palms constant (which is annoying on its own). i have tried drinking water (i drink about 2 to 3 liters a day) but it doesnt seem to help. Because they are choppy, i pill off the dead skin (my worse habit thus far) and as a result i have two different coloring..the onces i pill off is lighter and the rest is darker, which looks like i have some sort of disease (ok ok, it isnt that bad yet but i am afraid if i dont stop, it will get there) anyways, i was wondering is there anything that can help me with this? i tried those 8 hour last lip-sticks but they dont work. i also tried coco butter lip palms, and that hasnt helped either. please help i hate how they look like...all discolored and stuff. it isnt attractive at all. helppp me.

Answers:
I have this problem too. I put a little petroleum jelly on my lips then use a soft toothbrush to rub lightly over the surface (in little circular motions) once a day. After a few days of this your lips will be lovely and soft.
Try to avoid lipsticks as they can dry things out more, I use coloured glosses instead.

Try Beeswax lip balm. Sold at Kmart, most pharmacy's, and most beauty supply stores. Also try Vaseline. If this doesn't work, I'd recommend seeing a doctor about it. The problem may be more than just dry, chapped lips.

Try applying Vaseline (petroleum jelly). Just don't peel the skin off anymore. It's not good. If petroleum jelly doesn't work than talk to your doctor.
Good luck!

I have very dry lips myself but I don't peel them off! First thing in the morning, when my lips are mostly dry, apply E45 cream on your lips. Then I use my toothbrush to brush off the the excess skin that comes off after applying the cream, moisten the brush with water first. I then re-apply E45 cream on lips again! It is a bit disgusting (taste of the cream itself) but It really does help soften your dry skin. Then apply a nice flavoured lip balm over it to make your lips tastes sweeter. It works! You have to make it a habit each morning until lips are restored to normality. You may need to do it 2 a week after that or when needed.
E45 cream should be widely available and it's cheaper than using a cosmetic brand product!
Goodluck!
