Why do I get chapped lips while being on a low-carb diet?
Whenever I'm doing a low-carb diet or even if I just reduce the carb portion of my daily calorie intake, my lips start to dry out.
After one or two days they really get chapped and crusty. Lip balm doesn't really help. When I increase my carb intake they return to normal after a day.
Is this normal?
Why is this happening?
What can I do?
Thank you in advance.

Very likely it is a vitamin deficiency. Likely culprits are water soluble vitamins like Vitamin C or Folic Acid. If you are not taking a multivitamin with your low-carb diet to compensate for the vitamins you are missing from not having carbs, then you will be experiencing any number of unhealthy symptoms.
Cracked lips, sore mouth vitamin deficiency
Possibility of insufficient calories
I've even read somewhere that taking Omega 3 fish oil vitamins can help with that.
