Lips getting dry, and always feeling dehydrated

Posted , 8 users are following.

Hi,

Hopefully this is an appropriate forum to post smile

In the last few months (prior to the winter stating), I have been really suffereing with feeling dehydrated and cracked lips (see photo). I've never suffered from this before, and I'm trying to work out what could be causing it.

I've been using Blistex to relieve the pain in my lips, and I'm making sure I'm keeping up with my 3000ml of water intake throughout the day. The problem I'm finding, is that it just seems to come out the other end!  I've been feeling really lethargic over the last couple of months as well. I seem to be sleeping well (6-8 hours a night), so I'm not sure what would be causing that. It's literally from about 20 minutes after getting up, that I start feeling tired again!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try? It's driving me nuts rolleyes

Thanks

Andy

    I have this issue just from coming from Wales to Scotland, as well as the lead up to winter, it got pretty bad the beginning of the year - smiling was causing them to bleed, don't bother with all the expensive ones just get the blue nivea sticks and apply as often as you can, I keep it in my pockets to warm it so it glides on thick
