What do you do when your lips are chapped and peeling and nothing helps?
Asked by CCherryL
1st Answer:
DO THIS:
* When brushing your teeth rub your toothbrush across your lip for 15 seconds very mildly
*Use a lip balm that is not scented!
DON'T DO THIS:
*Lick or scratch your lips
*Pull your lips apart with your hands
*Don't touch your lips with your hands/fingers
2nd Answer:
Use a Toothbrush Get your toothbrush and get it wet with mildly warm water. Don't get it too warm or too cold, because that's the reason your lips get dry and chapped. Rub the wet toothbrush against your lips very gently; this will remove most of the dead skin hanging around on them.
Stay Hydrated Try to drink the amount of water you need to get in your body. Ever heard the phrase, "Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day?" The first sign your body is in need of water is chapped lips. You lose a lot of the water you take in, so keep replenishing it. Find it hard to drink the amount of water you need? Try to start by drinking two glasses of water when you wake up and when you get ready for bed, and of course, drink when you're thirsty!
Keep In The Moisture Whenever our lips are chapped, you instinctively lick them to get them water in the fastest way. It's like a dog licking it's nose in order to smell better. Truth is, it doesn't help; it only makes them even more chapped. Although it's hard, try your best to not get them wet with your own tongue. Try water instead! Throw some mildly warm water on your lips to get them moisturized. Next step? Go get lip balm, but stay away from heavily scented or flavored ones. That's right, that bubblegum or peppermint balm you have laying around won't do. Fragrance is the #1 allergen for skin, so it will only irritate it further. "Carmex" is a great lip balm, but if you have eczema, do not use it (or any other balm that contains lanolin.)

What are you Using for your Mouth Disruption in the pH balance in your skin (which needs to be a bit acidic in moist areas such as the mouth) can be caused by the type of toothpaste, mouth wash or skin cleanser you use. To prevent this, apply your lip balm after cleaning your face or brushing your teeth.
I Need an Expert Used anything and everything for your chapped lips, yet you still don't see a difference? Other than changing your lip balm for ages to find the right one, make an appointment with your dermatologist or any other expert advice to see if something is going on with you that you don't know about. You could have an allergic reaction. It doesn't hurt to check.
Repeated Warnings
-Do not use cold or hot water. Use mildly warm water whenever it comes to your lips (except of course if you're drinking something.)
-Stay away from heavily scented or flavored lip balms. Fragrance is the #1 allergen for skin and will only irritate your lips further.
-If you have eczema, do not use any lip balms with the ingredient lanolin, such as Carmex.
-Do not lick your lips. It will make your lips even more chapped.
Good luck! Follow the advice you'd been given, and it'll most likely turn out fine for you. Remember to stay hydrated!

Will you get sick from someone else using your toothbrush?
Asked by Wiki User
I did take an oral health class, but dont shoot me if I'm wrong. Although sharing a toothbrush may be a common practice when one has forgotten a toothbrush, it may not be a good idea. Many forms of infectious bacteria may be transfered through the sharing of a toothbrush, that something such as kissing or sharing a drink may not pass. These bacteria, that the carrier may be immuned to, can have serious concequences when taken in by another individual.
