Brief Answer:
dry lips from sun burn

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are complaining of overly dry lips that are peeling and inflamed. It is possible you suffered a sun burn on your lips. I would recommend that you stop using the lip products you have been using. I suggest getting Vitamin E oil as it will be used as your skin moisturizer for your lips. The other products may actually reduce your bodies own oils and perpetuate the dry skin. Vitamin E will not and will aid in your healing
