Licking your lips dries them out. Chapstick is typically flavored/scented which encourages you to lick your lips, counterintuitively drying them out more.
Chapstick is also an occlusive rather than a moisturizer so it just keeps the moisture in rather than returning moisture to dry lips.
That scares me - petroleum jelly is often packed full of carcinogens, even minor ingestion seems pretty bad.
Maybe there are good brands, but beee careful.
