The post doesn't specify that he is looking for an answer more authoritative than a doctor, it just says he is looking for a credible source. I wasn't able to locate any journal articles that specifically addressed this issue. (Though it looks like Avery's answer might have better sourcing) | |

I use cocoa butter which works great, and sometimes do use petroleum jelly at night. I don't like it because it can seep into your mouth and leave a funny taste, but it's better than bloody lips. Salicylic acid is used as an astringent, specifically to strip oil away. I use that too, on my face. Lips are very thin skin, and lose moisture much easier than other skin, so requires a waterproof barrier to keep moisture in. | |
