How do you prevent chapped lips?

First of all, the reason why you get chapped lips is because of weather and the the fact that your lips need constant moisture and care.

During dry, hot weather, the moisture in your lips tends to be absorbed or evaporated, and during cold, stormy days, the moisture in your lips also tends to either freeze or dry up. This causes a lack of moisture in your lips, which means they get dry and wrinkled.

Chapstick and other oils or creams simply create a coating like a wall to prevent the weather from accessing your lips and removing moisture. Usually thicker substances work better to create this "wall". I'd mainly recommend Petroleum Jelly for this job.

It is normal to get chapped lips after getting snakebites?

Im sure it is fine. You might have chapped lips because the lip rings are keeping the moisture from getting to your lips. When i got my lip ring my lips got slightly chapped also but make sure you do not put anything on your lips to heal the chapness. This might cause infection in the lip rings. If your lips get TOO chapped you might want to call the peircer and ask about it.
