The toothpaste thing was a bad idea. People have recommended a similar thing to me before, but for spots and it dried them out so I had these ugly crusts on my face. So, I am not surprised it made people's lips severely chapped and sore.
My lips are naturally pink and my normal routine is to rub off the dried skin with my finger in the middle of a warm shower. I tried using a soft toothbrush a few times, but even that was too harsh and made my lips bleed! After the shower I put on Burt's Bees lip balm (but I am looking for one that moisturises more and for longer). My lips will stay rosy for a while, but it won't last all day.
The only other thing I can think of (since you want to go natural) is finding a natural irritant or an irritant that is not in a 'girly package' that does not dry out your skin. My dad used to use a product called 'Tiger Balm' on aching muscles. This was a very strong product that gave the skin a burning sensation. Perhaps it would help? The burning would irritate your lips and probably make them go red. It would hurt a bit, but if you want them that badly I guess it would be worth it.
where is Burt's Bees sold? i subconsciously look out for it whenever i'm at the drug store, but i never see it.
