I'll second or third DCT, especially if you're gonna be outside a lot. Our lips used to get torn up at band camp, and our tuba dude had us use it then too.

Solid product.

My advise...

Drink lots of water. Lots.

You can also try sleeping with a raw juicy steak tied to your lips, just make sure you don't swallow any blood.

I remember something Kim Dunnick, the trumpet player, said to me about chapped lips: "Keep playing and your lips won't have a chance to get chapped!"

Just use a thin coating of Vaseline. Problem solved.

Of all the treatments mentioned, most are good, but I respectfully completely disagree with Vaseline. Petroleum jelly does not help your lips. It may feel better momentarily, but all it does is cover it up, preventing air and needed moisture or hydration from getting to them, and in the long run actually contribute to dehydration and the harboring of bacteria.

Even though ChopSaver is my favorite, any of the above EXCEPT Vaseline. Save Vaseline for the valve slides.

It's always worked for me, and these folks agree:
