Thanks for the responsed Liss. In fact there are a lot of us out there that have this problem. It's called exfoliative cheilits. Unfortunately there's no cure but rumor has it that there is a study being done in London to help understand or maybe cure the problem. As far as the cocoa butter remedy..u don't find that topical products when applied to your lips make the skin that much easier to peel off? I've tried a few things and that always seems to be the case. Thanks
