I understand that, but how, what actually
happens, licking your lips does it as
well, how?

Chapped lips, severa reasons for this.
Moisture is within the skin. If you are
not drinking enough non-diuretic liquids,
then you are dehydrating. It's amazing
how many millions of people are suffering
maladies because they basically don't take
in enough liquids. Ever had to pee into
a bottle for 24 hours? I did, to test
for heavy metals. I filled up a gallon
jug in 24 hours. That's how I learned
how much I need to drink (and that doesn't
include sodas, beer, coffee which sucks
your liquids from your body).
Lips get chapped when you sleep w/ your
mouth open at night and when you have a
cold. Your mouth is drying out too if
you sleep w/ your mouth open (causes
cavities too according to my dentist).
I lived in alaska...Just drank lots of
fluids (wind dehydrates your skin) and
kept lip protection on when I was outdoors
in the winter.
