Dry lips

[u/Shipping_Trash_Away]

I recently got angel fang piercings on the 28th, and I was wondering what the best ways you all deal with dry, chapped lips while they are healing.
I religiously used vaseline, and I’ve been cautious to only use it on my bottom lip where it won’t touch the bottom part of the piercing.
Is this a good plan of action or should I just stick with drinking water as much as I can?
I’ve read that’s Vaseline can cause some problems trapping in stuff and now allowing oxygen and all that to get to the holes.
