I have been drinking lots of water but the inside of my lips still feel super dry. I know water is supposed to help, but I’ve been drinking a ton and it doesn’t seem to cut it. Has anyone ever applied anything inside your lips and cheeks (such as Vaseline or something)?
Vaseline can't hurt but it might be a bit...greasy. You might try one of the products (gel or rinse) for dry mouth relief like Biotene dry mouth gel. I pur it on the front of my teeth right before bed. Good luck!
Sounds strang here but everytime- everytime I use crest product my mouth and lips go through the same thing for a couple days.
I've switched to colgate tooth paste and Act floride rinse and I'm better. Anything with alcohol in it dries you up as well.
