Surprising lip fix

Is lip balm the only option for chapped lips? It doesn’t help me!—Lara Mitchell, Philadelphia, Pa.

Bobbi: It doesn’t help me either, but I’ve found tricks that do. First, drink more water—chapped lips are usually a sign of dehydration. Second, put some of your eye cream on your lips, as well (one without any irritating anti-aging ingredients). The eye cream’s moisturizers help to heal the dryness. Test out Lancôme Progrès Contour Des Yeux Eye Cream ($55; lancome-usa.com).

Finally, in the morning, apply a balm without camphor or menthol (I’ve found that they can be drying); then dab on clear gloss for extra protection.
