When lips are chapped and itchy, many people think the easiest way is to lick them with the tongue and use saliva to solve the dryness. However, within two minutes, the itchiness becomes more obvious.

This is because our saliva contains a variety of proteins, inorganic salts and other substances. When you lick your lips, the moisture evaporates quickly, and the remaining substances will absorb water from the lips. In particular, the enzymes in the saliva may irritate the lips, making them increasingly dry and itchy, and even leading to angular cheilitis.
