Some people like to lick their lips with their tongue, but this is actually a bad habit, because licking your lips can only bring temporary moisture. When the moisture on your lips evaporates, it will take away more moisture from inside the lips, causing your lips to fall into a vicious cycle of "dry - lick - drier - lick again". The result is that the more you lick, the more painful it becomes, and the more cracked your lips become.
