I also had problems with dry chapped lips but the problem has almost
cleared itself up since I've been (mostly) on the paleo diet plan. One
thing that will give you much relief is hemp oil. Look for hemp based
lip balm at you local health food store. Being a child of the 60's I
have to resist the urge to pass it around but thats the only problem
I've had with it. I've lost the address but if you do a search for Ohio
Hemp you will find their web site which will give details on studies
done with hemp oil and skin. Its really wonderful stuff if you have dry
skin.
