Extremely dry and cracked lips

Hi

Lately I've been getting extremely dry and cracked lips. They are so bad they bled. I have been using, 'Blistex' lip conditioner and a 'Chap Stick' lip balm, but they havn't help.

I was wondering if anyone got any ideas of anything that would help?

Thank you

I think Lansinoh (a nipple creme) is fabulous for dry lips. It's purified lanolin. In fact, forget about it for the nipples, and just use it on your lips!

Lansinoh is great, dry lips can be a sign of dehydration, so keep your fluids up!

Thank you. I'm planning to breastfeed so it won't be wasted. I will go get some tomorrow.
