I LOVE Burt's Bees stuff!!! We like the Handcream Beeswax & Banana!!! YUMMY!
My doctor recommended getting a soft toothbrush, putting some vasoline on it and brushing in a circular motion around your lips - this helps keep them moist and smooth, etc. --course, do not use your normal toothbrush for this!
**it is better then smearing on tons of chapstick all day - which they say actually dries your skin out even more!!**
He also recommended using vasoline at night on areas that are extra dry. We will do our feet and hands and then put on those "spa" gloves/socks. I heard other people swear by baby oil too. I don't know though.
We keep lotion on all the time! I have bottles everywhere! The oatmeal ones are good for very dry and itchy skin. There is also a newer olive oil one out too (haven't tried it though). I like cocoa butter - it smells yummy!
Also, you are not suppose to take a HOT shower when it is colder/dry air. That is said to make your skin even drier.
Hope this helps!
