Don't put water on them or lick them- they get even drier/more damaged once the water dries off. They need some kind of oil, I'm not sure about your blistex but a lot of chapsticks have ingredients that can actually make your lips worse once they're gone. Tomorrow try to buy a lip balm/cream with no petrolatum in it. Burts Bees is really good.

The easiest and best thing that wouldn't make them burn would be some olive oil. Do you have any in your kitchen? If not, maybe vegetable oil? It sounds gross but its natural, and will help keep your lips moist so they can heal.

edit* also make sure you drink plenty of water so your skin has enough moisture.

use the soft lips chapstick i use that and i do not get chaped lips or lips that burn!
