Soothing Chapped Lips

Your skin is not the only part of your body susceptible to dryness during the winter weather. Lips don’t have oil glands, and that means they dry out even easier than skin does. Give your lips the care they need this winter with these tips from the American Academy of Dermatology.
Do not lick your lips. They will chap even more easily due to the cycle of wetting and drying. Instead, moisturize them with petrolium jelly or lip balm.
Cover up, especially when you’re headed outside. You can protect your lips by wrapping a thick scarf around the lower part of your face.
Boost moisture in your house or apartment by using a humidifier.
Use lip balm with sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. Exposure to UV rays make chapped lips even worse, and the blinding white snow does a very good job of reflecting rays on people.
If the problem continues to persist, consult your dermatologist.
