18 Cracked Lips Cracked lips, also known as chapped lips, is a condition where the lips crack and dry out. Lips are more sensitive to chapping than the skin because, unlike the skin, lips do not produce oils to protect them against drying. So when the weather is dry, cold, or windy the lips get cracked. Smear olive oil on lips (do not put Vaseline on lips it will make them more dry). Indian med: Rub melted unsalted butter on the cracked lips. Home Remedies For Cracked Lips Apply some table salt on your lips, peel, wipe and apply some olive oil on the lips. Apply some Aloe Vera gel on the cracked lips. Smear honey on the lips. Mix 1 tablespoon of Vaseline to the same amount of butter; then put 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of sugar and apply on the cracked lips. 29
