certain ingredients that are in it make you become addicted , you can try to slowly stop your self from using by using it 2 times day then once a day ...... try using chapstick in place of it.... i too am addicted to lip balm if i dont use it once everyday my lip will become sore and crack a bit.....,.

Carmex= Menthol, Camphor, Alum, Salicylic Acid, Phenol, Fragrance, in Petrolatum, Lanolin, Cocoa Butter and Wax base.





I bet some of these ingredients could be causing some of the problem you are experiencing. The menthol is most likely causing a drying affect.





If you are going to be a lipbalm junkie, I'd definitely go for something more natural. I use the organic coconut lipbalm and mocha lip balm from Affordable Mineral makeup. My lips stay soft all day!
