Once a week place a liberal amount of vaseline or lip balm on your lips and gently scrub them with a soft toothbrush to get rid of dry cracked old skin cells, this keeps them smooth, and use an intensive lip balm/cream like blistex relief cream, it relieves pain, really smoothes lips and has a nice tingly sensation that lets you know it works, you can find it in most pharmacies. I swear by it!

Good old fashioned vaseline - works wonders, just a light smear. Cheap but does the job.

Smear butter on your lips every night and everytime you can help it. It works like nothing else!

Your lips don't have any oil glands, but the skin around them does. So you have to keep the rest of your fact moisturized as well. Keep balm on them and stay hydrated from the inside too.
Some people are naturally dry, so it's just something you have to keep an eye on.

First, put a little water on your lips for moisture. Then, get some sugar and rub it on your lips in all directions (this exfoliates them and gets that dried, dead skin off). Then rinse off the sugar with water. Finally use some medicated lip balm or chap stick (Carmex, Blistex, etc.) on your lips to help heal and protect the newly exfoliated skin. Also, try to use a lip balm or chap stick with SPF in it--the sun can cause your lips to dry and skin to crack.

Use bodycream on your lips every night, and (in America they know this as "manteca de cacao", kind of lipgloss to keep them fresh and healthy. Don't use your tongue to keep it wet because they put them very dry... I use cream, so I recomend to you ^-^

Try DCT...it is usually in the chapstick section and comes in a little peach colored container. It isn't as stinging as some of the other brands and works well on chapped lips. It also has SPF in it so that your lips don't get burned in the sun. Also drink more water. Your lips might be dry and cracking because you are dehydrated.

at the drugstore or walmart you can find this chapstick/lipgloss it really works! its called aquafina lip hydration and its in like a lipgloss type tube thing. and it works really well! It tastes really good too!

or get lip balm/ chapstick from Burts Bee's (it also works very well for chapped lips!)

if you dont want to go out and buy anything than just put some vaseline on your lips and they should be smooth in no time!

Get a soft toothbrush and each night rub away any dead skin, it's kinda like exfoliating, then put on loads of vaseline each before you got to bed, use a sensitive chapstick during the day. Keep this up and soon you'll only have to make do with the chapstick and use the toothbrush and vaseline every now and then.
