My lips are severly chapped and I was told that drinking water would help get rid of the problem. I don't want to use lip balm. How much water would I need to drink a day to get rid of chapped lips over a month long period. Ounce wise.
Answer:yes because it will prevent dehydration (i dont have an ounce ratio- just drink a glass or two)- but dont lik your lips because it will evaporate and dry them out again
here's what you can do if you want

(and maybe number 7 doesnt apply to you) :)
It won't fix your problem anytime soon. Apply a little Vaseline to your lips It will fix you up quite quickly
a lot just use chapstick and drink extra water dont lick them too much in ounce wise no clue in liter maybe a liter and a half a day would keep the chapped lips away
Drinking water prevents chapped lips from happening because it keeps them moisturized. If you want to get rid of the chapped lips you have now, buy a medicated chapstick, preferably with beeswax or aloe vera, and apply it whenever your lips feel dry. You should apply it when your lips don't glide when you rub them together. Apply it even when you don't have chapped lips in addition to drinking 8 glasses of water per day to keep your lips smooth and supple.
you would need to drink 3 glasses a day
I think water will help, but chapstick is what you need to stop the pain now.
