Today, I was written up at work for not smiling. It’s winter, therefore smiling will cause my lips to crack and bleed. I drink 8 glasses of water a day. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a verbal warning at work for "having a resting bitch face." I had a headache. FML
Today, I was disciplined by my boss for "not smiling enough." I'm a dishwasher. FML
Today, I went to take a drink from my water bottle while sitting in a quiet office with 5 coworkers. I squeezed too hard, sending a jet of water straight into my nose. My coworkers now think I need a sippy cup. FML
Today, someone held me down and rubbed ChapStick all over my lips. I have a condition which requires medicinal balm, otherwise my lips crack and bleed, and ChapStick makes it worse. I’m still waiting on the balm to arrive. FML
Today, I was written up at work because I took off my badge. While I was putting on a sweater for this cold weather. FML
Today, I was wondering why I was getting strange looks all day at work. When I got to a mirror after my shift, I noticed a booger hanging out of my nose, which was visible only when I smiled. My job involves greeting people all day with a huge smile. FML
Today, I was written up at work for "leering at my boss". I'm so sorry for having my eyes sore due to lack of sleep. FML
Today, I got the hiccups at work no fewer than ten times in a row. I'm a cashier and not allowed to leave to go get water. Not only that, but I was called into the office to discuss my “drinking problem.” I don’t drink. FML
Today, my house is so cold that I chipped a tooth from chattering so hard. FML
Today, I was written up. Too many customers complained that I don't wear makeup or do my hair. I got written up for being ugly. FML

Burt's Bees lip balm is also great, especially the original one. It's a bit expensive, but one tube goes a long way.

get your blood sugar levels checked.

Water won’t make a difference lol. Look after your lips properly and find a good quality lip balm to heal them. The temperature may be cold but your lips shouldn’t be cracking and bleeding every day.

Try a lanolin based chapstick. I use one called Australian Gold. I used to have a similar problem but now I don't.

Okay so it looks like you have a lot of suggestions for stuff to try. I have a dry lip condition that has caused me trouble for my whole entire life. My son seems to have the same condition. I have tried many different lip balms. Some of them made the problem worse or only worked as long as they were actively on your lips. Some I had to reapply so often that they might as well have been no good and some of them actually burned my lips. I'm telling you Australian Gold lanolin lip balm works. It's not 100% pure lanolin. It says it has sunflower seed wax and lanolin in it. They won't ship it during hot weather so now is the perfect time to buy it. I use it after I eat and drink and that's as much as I need it. It does make your lips a bit shiny but it's worth it.

get some carmex and use it any time you feel your lips drying up
