Revive your sore, chapped lips with these reliable, dermatologist-recommended strategies.
1. Apply a Nourishing Lip Balm
Skip scented or flavored options. Choose a neutral formula with oils or shea butter for deep hydration. Layer it on before heading outdoors to lock in moisture and protect against harsh elements.
2. Resist Licking or Biting
Licking your lips introduces saliva that evaporates, worsening dryness. Avoid nibbling at flaky skin or cracks—let your lips heal without interference.
3. Monitor Indoor Humidity
Heating systems create dry air that exacerbates lip issues. Check your home's humidity levels and add a humidifier if needed to maintain balanced moisture.
