A dear friend of mine from college had a bad bad chapped and dry lips. She didn’t feel comfortable with that not only because her lips were in pain, but they also didn’t look nice.
I felt so sorry for her, especially during cold or dry weather. She couldn’t even put on her lipstick because it made the lips look even worse.
Here are what she did to treat her chapped lips:
- Avoid licking the lips. Sometimes, you think that licking will sooth the lips. It might be for a while. But then they get even drier because When the moisture from licking your lips evaporates, so does some of the moisture from your lips.
- Drink a lot of water. Sometimes the cause of your chapped lips is simply dehydration. So, drinking at least eight glasses of water a day can help your chapped lips heal, and will lower your chances of having chapped lips in the future.
- Apply lip balm frequently. Apply lip balm every hour or two. Use a petroleum or beeswax based product or plain petroleum jelly.
- Keep clean. Make sure to wash your face regularly, especially before you reapply the balm.
Most of the time the treatments she did helped her a lot. So, I think, you can try them up.
