Absolutely! You need it more and more frequently. You literally get addicted, unless you can stand painful lips. (I must admit that I sometimes still use it, though.)

you do build up some resistance. I've found that using my uv protective brand that's meant for water sports doesn't bother my lips when i don't use it for a few days.

I knew somebody that used it all the time becasue they always had chapped lips. It began to made me wonder if it was an endless cycle.

Using too much could actually make them more chapped!

Chapstick doesn't contain addictive substances, but most sticks do contain petroleum, which actually dries out your lips. Hence the need for even more lip balm. Try looking for a chapstick that doesn't contain petroleum, and then you won't be addicted.
