I'm genuinely curious why so many people have dry lips. I have never in my life needed chapstick. I'll just assume it's some combination of the modern western lifestyle.
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.
