  | Dry Cracking Lips I have an audition for grad school at UNT on Sat. This weekend my lips got really dry and started peeling and cracking. I havent even really been able to play well today. Anyone know anything that could help. I have been using Blistex DCT the past couple of days with no results. JR

| Re: Dry Cracking Lips Try either the blistex lip medic, blue container like the DCT, or blistex medicated, white tube of creme. These work pretty well.

| Re: Dry Cracking Lips A thin layer of Crisco (shortening) - natural, absorbed by the skin - covered by a layer of vaseline - petroleum-based, waterproof - to seal it in. (Wipe it off before playing, whatever you do!) |

| Re: Dry Cracking Lips I can not imagine anything worse. Crisco and Vaseline? Why not just throw some 10W-30 on there for good measure? Quote:

| Re: Dry Cracking Lips Why not? I use break-free CLP on my trumpet and cornet, AND my motorcycle chain. Honestly, I've heard good reports about Burt's Bees products, they're costlier than chap-stick but may we worth a try. I've had my lips in bad shape and getting compulsive about apply chap-stick fixed them up. Not overnight, but awfully fast. We're talking about applying compulsively. It does work - every 1/2 hour, or less, really.

| Re: Dry Cracking Lips Try to drink more water too. And avoid forced air heating as much as possible.
