Wait until she's fast asleep and put vaseline on her lips.

My little boy gets cracked lips from brushing his teeth, his skin is sensitive to the toothpaste... and I do the above to help soften them.

He never wakes up, but he's a good sleeper.

Hope that helps.

You could try buying her a little mirror and cream and a flavoured lip cream for afterwards and get her to put the cream on and see how that will make her feel better.

In short, involve her.
