My dry lips are one of my biggest issues. I can go without the water bottle for long periods of time but panic if I can't find my chapstick! I used to use the aquaphor until I got over having it on my fingers all the time. I started using just a plain chapstick and use it hourly every day, and a few times during the night. I will wake up and be fine without a drink, but have to use the chapstick...............go figure.
Another good lubricant for the lips is plain old crisco (lard). To messy to take outside the house though!
