I don't use lip balm but request petroleum jelly at the dentist. At night if my fingers are dry enough to warrant lotion (unscented), I also rub some on my lips and nose. The weather here isn't usually cold enough to cause lip chapping.
Last year I took hyaluronic acid capsules which seemed to help against dry skin but it also seemed to make my eyes feel annoyingly sticky (a side effect which I found no information on). So I'm currently undecided about its overall helpfulness.

Ew, sticky eyes. But at least you don't need lip balm.
