Don’t know if this will help any of you are not.
Just to share: I’ve had peeling lips for as long as I can remember. It’s so normal for me I don’t worry about it, just let them dry out, crack, and peel….Ok to be truthful I do worry about it when the current “love of my life” starts putting chap stick on me or I have something I want to look extra special for and realize that everything is great except for…you guessed it my dry, cracking lips.
I’m really on this site interested in the cleanses but it turns out one of the things that worked for me is a part of that. Everyone here may already know about this and I doubt it would cure all causes for cracked lips but
This worked for me: I know it sounds grouse but I take 2 TBL spoons of virgin coconut oil a day. I mix it in my health shake and drink it down. Others find they like the taste and eat it from the spoon, it’s the texture that I don’t like. It is supposed to have a lot of great benefits but one thing I noticed after doing this for a couple of weeks is that my lips were soft and moist. I also use it as a moisturizer on my face and lips before going to bed. I think that as I heal using it internally I won't need to do this any more but that's a guess... I haven't gotten there yet.
Never thought I’d eat OIL but I really like the idea of moisturizing from the inside out…it make so much more since to me than trying to moisturize each individual area of my body. I’ve been off of it a week now, part of the regiment I’m doing…take a holiday one week out of the month…and now at the last of the week my lips are dry & cracking again.
I guess I should include that I do live in a humid area, I’m sure that effects my body’s overall moisture level. Water being my favorite drink I’ve never had a problem with dehydration.
The other thing I feel like I should disclose is that I’m sure the detoxing is also helping this because before this my feet had some major calluses (part of the joy of ballroom dancing) and were very dry, now the calluses are slowly peeling off and my feet aren‘t dry at all.
I only started all of this a month ago but I’m getting some nice fringe benefits.
Gook luck to everyone here.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,064,633Hello, I have some questions:) Do you know why you have peeling lips? (picking lips, fungus, etc) How long did you try this before you started seeing results? Do you have to apply it in your lips or can you just drink it? Thanks in advanced:)

Sorry about the late reply - haven’t been on-line much because of the holidays. I don’t know what’s caused my peeling lips, like I said in my earlier post I really didn’t worry about it much and it did have an intermittent quality, granted when they are dry I do pull the skin off because it drives me crazy having dry skin ½ on and ½ off.
I can’t say exactly how long it took, I’d say about 2 weeks of 2 TBL spoons of VCO by mouth and also putting it topically on my lips. I bought the oil at whole foods. In warm weather it’s liquid, in cool weather its solid, I live in Texas currently so right now it’s in between - like butter. I think it cost about $10 so it’s very affordable.
The other benefits are that it’s an anti-microbial and anti-fungal.

Morning Ronin,
So far my lips are great, no peeling, cracking, or burning.
I am concerned because as I was doing a search & came across an old post that said that while some people got softer, moisturized skin others had the opposite effect and it dried their skin out. They weren’t talking about their lips but I’d think if it dried out hands and legs it would also dry out lips. It’s something to consider.
Someone on that post mentioned taking flax see oil instead. I didn’t get a chance to research that.
So if you decide to try it just check to see which effect it has for you.
Good Luck

This is a reply to # 1,070,983That's great to hear. I noticed that you said you lips dry, crack, and then peel. I am wondering if your lips also turned white when moisturized or in water? It seems most of the people who don't mention this problem usually don't have EC, rather some other form of cheilitis.

I don't think my lips ever turned white. Sometimes they got very pale but I figured that was anemia or something. What does EC stand for?

This is a reply to # 1,071,564Hmm I see, then you might only have regular dry lips and not EC. EC= Exfoliative Cheilitis.
