Vaseline helps, so does any cooking oil or grease including bacon grease or Crisco. If you want to prevent them try drinking more water. While in the interior of Alaska I had problems with chapped lips. At 50 degrees below zero things can get bad in a hurry. I asked the flight surgeon about a prescription and he informed me that all I really needed to do was drink more water. In other words, stay hydrated. I started drinking three 16 oz. glasses everyday, morning, noon and night just like it was medicine. It worked in Alaska, I imagine it will work for you as well.
Vaseline aka petroleum jelly

Try a little Vaseline if you have it...if not some butter or Crisco until you can get some chap stick.
Every night when I brush my teeth and tongue, I lightly exfolliate my lips with the brush. Then after having some water before bed, I'll put some moisturiser - a good, hydrating facial one, not a chapstick over the top. Personally my lips don't like most chapsticks because they just seem to stick to the surface, whereas putting a bit of good moisturiser on them helps them stay hydrated and plump.
I'm no glamour, but I often get complimented on my lips and kissing ;)
