Rant about the pharmicist and all things you needed to know about dry lips

Right now, my lips are a barren wasteland. They are cracked and dry and aching for moisture which I am desperately trying to put into them and yet I seem unable to revive them. They are calling out for help but will not respond to anything I do. I’m throwin’ out the lifeline but they WILL NOT grab a rope. What’s the go, lips? Why you hate me so? A cold sore has come up on the bottom one as a result of the extreme dryness so that, as you can imagine, is really fun.
