More water=chapped lips?

[Anisah]

I always thought that chapped lips were a sign of dehydration. I noticed my lips are more chapped now that I have been on cambridge and have been drinking 3 liters of water daily. Does anyone have any idea how this can be?

to be honest.. i found this. and i put to down to the high mineral content of your shakes. they can perhaps agravate the sensitive skin on your lips.

my advice is to drink thru a straw (bar the soups)

reason i say this is cos i came off cd a couple of weeks ago and my lips were fine after 3-4 days. when i went back on it they were back to being chapped.
since i have been drinking shakes thru a straw, i havent had any problems

Never heard of this ... I would have thought the same as you. Unless it is because you are not having the fat content of normal food??

I'm clueless because I do drink my shakes with a straw and have gone off soups for over a week. I wonder if it could be the missing fat. I'm clueless. Bring on more ideas, I'm very curious.

Hiya, I pretty much only have tetras and drink through the straws, but I still get dry lips, so wonder what it might be that causes it!

Hmmm, very odd. My lips have been fine But having said that I'm constantly caking them in lip balm, so that may be why. It's almost an unconscious habit I have, but maybe it will help you (mind you've probably already tried that):wavey: xxx
