Rainbowcherrie has some great ideas. I have to put my two cents in, though, because I've had that exact same problem. I used to play flute a lot, so my lips would have to be in mint condition.
Marylin Miglin's tissue cream.

It tastes absolutely TERRIBLE, but if you wear it at night, you'll see results immediately. It moisturizes incredibly well, and helps loosen the dead skin - you can use chapstick to supplement it during the day so you don't have to deal with that taste - and it's incredible.
You can also use it if, for instance, your nose gets sore from blowing it when you have a cold.
I've managed not to pay for it (my mom gave it to me), but if you can find it and afford it, I guarantee it will work.
Tissue cream. Get it. Trust me. =)

Well it could be a combination of using too much chapstick and having saliva on your lips a lot from you peeling them. Dont peel them! its really bad and it takes a longer time for them to heal. But they have this stuff called 8 hour cream by Elisabeth Arden and if you put that on before you go to bed then it helps a lot! but its kinda expensive and can only be found in department stores or online. If you dont want to go through that trouble put Vitamin E cream on them or even aloe vera gel but make sure its at night cause it feels gross. Hope i helped =]

First thing; NEVER peel/pick chapped lips. It will make them redder and sorer and could leave scars.
Try doing this every night for a couple of weeks:
Apply Vaseline and gently rub your lips with a SOFT toothbrush (ones that are designed for babies and very small children are best). Afterwards, apply another coat of Vaseline. You should start to see a result within a week or so.
Another good tip is to burst open a vitamin E capsule and apply it to your lips. Doing this every now and again should really give your lips a boost.
Avoid licking your lips or rubbing them together. I know it can be really difficult not to, especially when they're sore as often you don't realise you're doing it but it may help alot if you try and stop. Everytime you lick your lips it will just dry them out more and result in them being more sore. Similarly, don't be tempted to apply chap stick or anything too often or you won't feel the effects as much and become almost 'desenstised' to it.
Finally, try and get your hands on some Carmex. It is absolutely brilliant for keeping your lips soft and happy and works better than chap stick. If you can't find it, then again, Vaseline is really good for keeping them hydrated.
If your lips don't seem to be getting any better despite trying the above, then I would suggest you go and see your doctor to make sure there's not any further problem and to see if they can prescribe you anything.

Try to stop peeling your lips >_< that could be what's making them redder and peel. ChapStick is good when your lips are dry (chapstick LipMoisturizer and Blistex are good), but if your lips aren't dry, you probably shouldn't be using so much chapstick.
