Hi,welcome to HCM!
There are many reasons that can cause red dry lips.Some of them are:
-lack of humidity in the air during the winter months is known to cause chapped lips.
- Frequent sun exposure in the summer can also worsen your condition.
-Another common cause of chapped lips is habitual licking. Saliva from the tongue can further strip the lips of moisture, causing more dryness.
Some advices that I can give from my experiense are:
-Choose the Right Lip Balm
-Keep the Causes of Dry Lips Away
-Stay Hydrated
-Dont lick the lips
Hope my answer was helpful,thanks!
