Dry lips are really common in the winter months as the cold air dries them out, making them sore and crusty, especially if you bite them. Luckily they are equally easy to treat with a good lipbalm such as Carmex, Blistex or even Vaseline. You might find it helpful to ask someone who works at the store what is best to use. If you use it a few times a day and avoid biting your lips in future, they should clear up.
For future reference, a good tip for treating dry lips once they are less sore is by coating them in Vaseline every night then gently buffing them with an old soft bristled toothbrush before adding more Vaseline. The toothbrush gets rid of the dry, flakey skin and the Vaseline moisturises your lips, leaving them soft and smooth.
