You tend to have very dry and cracked lips every winter. However, this winter is going to be really different! Because you have some great health care tips to get rid of unhealthy lips!
Prevention
- Quit smoking! It will completely spoil your lips and it may become too late to regain the color and texture of your lips.
- Don’t lick your lips. Yes, it may look like it is keeping your skin moisturized for a moment, but it worsens the situation!
- Don’t use matte and long-wear lipstick in winter. Instead, you can use a moisturizing lip balm, with a tint of lip color.
- Don’t use old lip products. Old glosses and lipsticks can grow bacteria.
Cure
- Exfoliate your lips by using a good scrub. Even a small brush will do to remove the dead cells on your lips. But the best scrub for lips is sugar.
- A good, trusted and if possible a natural lip moisturizer is a great remedy to follow on regular basis.
- Treat dry lips naturally in winter. Natural ingredients like honey, ghee, rosewater, glycerin, lemon juice, cucumber not only make the lips soft but also repair the lips from inside.
- See a dermatologist if your problem persists. Chapping that doesn’t heal, despite regular use of lip balm, can be a sign of infection or a more serious problem.
