Why does licking chapped lips make them worse?

Whenever my lips are chapped and I lick them hoping to moisturize them, it seems to eventually make the situation even worse. Why does this happen?Why does licking chapped lips make them worse?
Actually you are licking the natural oils out of the skin of your lips. Transfering the moisture from your tongue in place of the oils and that evaporates drying out the skin. What you need is lip balms like chapstick that will not evaporate in the cold dry air.Why does licking chapped lips make them worse?
because of your saliva
Because saliva strips out the moisture in your lips, causing them to become more chapped
becuz the air get to them better siliva+cool air=dry
It's the chemicals in your saliva.
