In the winter and summer, make sure you seal in moisture with a layer of petroleum jelly on your lips. Both central heating and air conditioners, as well as the weather conditions of each season, can dry out the skin. Also, wear a scarf over your mouth in very cold weather. Use a good lip balm

Hi, some times dry lips associated with some medical condition. if you don't have any medical problem so just keep your body hydrated and apply any petroleum jelly (Vaseline) and wait for few more days. if problem persist then visit a skin specialist.
