Lip Care For The Dry Season

Moisturise

Moisturizing your lips is most important during dry season and this is a great way to ensure that the skin on your lips has enough oil and moisture to prevent cracking. You can achieve this with a range of different products such as Vaseline, lip balm or chapstick. Carry one on you and make it a regular habit to apply it when you feel your lips drying out. For ladies who wear lipstick regularly,it is advisable to buy lipsticks that are moisturizing instead of matte. If your lips crack or break,applying a cream which has vitamin E will encourage it to heal.

Maintain a Good Diet and Health Regime

Your lips are an indicator of general overall health and if you take lengths to make yourself as healthy as possible then this will show on your lips. A low immune system can lead to a range of problems such as cold sores while lack of healthy oils, vitamins and minerals can result in dry and cracked skin.

Avoid Licking Your Lips

If your lips feel dry,try to use balms and moisturizers instead. Likewise try to avoid biting your lips which is a common way to cause a bleeding lip.

Remove Lipstick Before Bed and Exfoliate 

Make sure that before you head to bed that you remove all lipstick using a good makeup remover. You can also do a quick lip scrub then apply a moisturizer after.

Use Tea Bags

If you are still struggling with dry lips, then you can try an old home remedy which is to press a tea bag against your mouth for three to four minutes this will increase the blood flow around your lips and reduce the dryness.
