Ah. A dry heat.
Dry heat for me is *awful*. My lips chap, my nose dries out, my skin
feels awful.
Recently I was in Salt Lake City. When I got back to my friend's place
in Houston, 100 degrees and 90% humity felt GREAT! Instantly, my skin
felt better, and my dried mucous membranes recovered in a day.

Try drinking more water. A lot of water. It's amazing what hydration can do
for dry skin/lips.
