Lips addicted to chapstick

Janelle
Right now, my lips are very dependent on a certain chapstick. The chapstick keeps them moisturized, and without this chapstick they dry out & dry black skin starts forming on my lips. It's very irritating but I don't want my lips to be dependent on moisturizing product anymore. I want them to moisturize themselves but I have to stop using the chapstick so that my lips understand that they do not need the chapstick but when I stop using the chapstick, my lips dry out. How can I nurse my lips back to health?
