Truly, the best way to avoid chapped lips is to stay hydrated, hydrated, hydrated, which means don't ever stop the water going in. Don't lick dry lips--that will make it worse. Vaseline Intensive Care Lip Balm before bed will help heal them. Don't try to save the peeling skin; it's already dead.
If my lips aren't bleeding, then I usually just tough it out.
