Mix 1 teaspoon raw honey with 1 teaspoon aloe vera pulp and grind it. Apply on the lips and keep massaging for 10 minutes. Once the moisture sets within the cracks, apply a thick layer of the mask. Top it up with a waxing tissue. Once the paste becomes semi dry, pat glycerin over the tissue and remove it gently. You will find remains of peeling skin on the tissue. Wash with cold water and use ice to numb the lips. Moisturize immediately. Using this mask 3 to 4 times will get rid of dead skin.
