With a little loving care, your lips can be perfect in no time. Here are some quick tips:
• Apply lip balm or petroleum jelly on the lips to keep them smooth.
• Keep the body hydrate by drinking lots of water. People who do not drink sufficient water are more prone to get dry lips and dry skin. Water or fluids keep the body moist which keeps the skin soft and supple.
• Excessive use of lipsticks on the lips too makes them dark and dry. At times let them breathe without putting anything on them. Before applying lip color apply some lip balm or moisturizer on your lips to keep them moist.
• Use a multivitamin supplement daily as chapped lips could indicate a nutritional deficiency.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol which are major tissue dehydrators.
• Add humidifier(s) to your home. Lips, hair, nails and skin all thrive in humidified air.
Chapped lips are a very common problem. They become red, chapped and painful when dry. There are many causes to dry and chapped lips. Lack of water in the body makes the lips dry. Some medicines do have side effects on the skin, which causes cracks in the lips. Lack of vitamins and nutrition in the diet also affects the softness of the lips. At times cold dry air makes the skin dry and cracked.
