any lip balm the has petroleum in it can cause this addiction because it further dries your lips out, so make sure that any lipstick or cleansers, make up etc. and especially your balm has no petroleum in it (many or most do). Drink lots of water everyday to hydrate your lips. Good luck!How to treat addiction to lip balm, if i stop using it my lips turn into the sahara desert dry and cracked ect
Ok, it is time to experiment. The lip balm is treating a condition. Use it and go after the cause.





Do you eat lots of PEANUTS? If he amino acid Lysine is overbalanced by the amino acid Arginine (spelling?) then you can develop cracks in your skin and are more susceptible to stress reactions in the body like an outbreak of oral herpes, cold sores. Soy beans have much arginine too. If you could avoid these two foods for a short time and get an L-LYSINE supplement into your system for about 4 weeks, it could possibly be your answer.





In times of STRESS your body is quick to use up its supply of B vitamins. It is now known by science that different people have different levels of requirements for different vitamins. For example, some diagnosed with ADHD, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, or ADD, attention deficit disorder, ( both misnomers, I am convinced ) require as much as 10 times the niacin as those considered normal. NIACINIMIDE is a form of niacin that does not have the unpleasant side effects of too much niacin. Taking


B-50's or B-100's with plenty of water through the day can meet this need and also can alleviate other stress reactions such as cracked skin or stress water blisters or itchy inflamed skin.





B -2 intake, insufficient to the individual's specific need, can cause cracking at the corners of the mouth. The B-50 or B-100 should also take care of that. We use them as opposed to individual B's because they have a balance that we need maintained between the different B's. Side effect, urine unusually yellow.





B-5, or pantothenic acid, is the anti stress vitamin that you are concentrating on getting. So make sure that the B-50 or 100 that you choose is high in that specifically, over 500%, or 5 times the RDA or even over 800% or 8 times the normal.





Eat a variety of colorful vegetables and fruits to balance out the phyto-chemicals in your system. Your body needs a balanced diet to maintain healthy skin.
Could it be an internal thing? Do you find your skin dry? dandruff?





You might want to add more EFA into your diet and try getting a more natural lip balm (ingredients such as Extra Virgin Oil, Castor Oil etc etc)
well there is nothing wrong with carmex. its not like crack. just go to a doctor for prescription.
Put on a TON of vaseline one night
