Ways to soothe chapped lips

Reasons why we get them
-Being for a long time in a dry and cold environment
-Eating very salty dishes
-B vitamin deficiency which can be cured by a long-term adherence to a healthy natural diet


Try using a warm washcloth or old toothbrush to slightly exfoliate the lip. Rub the damp cloth or toothbrush gently over your lips to remove flaky skin.

Do not use any gel, balm, or lipstick that contain alcohol or petroleum products - they for sure will worsen the condition and will make your chapped lips feel even dryer and more painful. Use only natural remedies. A good rule is to put on your lips only edible ingredients (this rule also works well for any other body care products, because the skin rapidly absorbs all contents of lotions and creams, both good and bad ). In other words, if you cannot eat it - do not put it either on your lips or on your skin!

Abstain from eating any hot, spicy, or salty foods for as long as your lips are still dry, cracked, and painful.


Drink up. Moisturize your lips from the inside out by drinking additional fluids in the winter.

Avoid going outside if the weather is dry and windy. If you must, use a generous amount of natural oil to protect your lips from unfriendly environment.

Avoid licking lips. Avoid licking your lips, since the saliva will evaporate and leave them dry.
