Obviously don’t know what toothpaste you use but I’ve found that switching to a toothpaste that doesn’t have sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) in it drastically reduced my need for chapstick. Before switching, I was applying it multiple times a day. Now I generally only apply before I go to sleep.

The water mostly evaporates or is absorbed by your skin, but the wax component (it usually a blend of waxes and oils from both petroleum, bees and plant waxes) stays on the surface of your lips and by moving them around pieces end up in your mouth, tongue, hands (people touch their faces unconsciously many times per day).
