Get rid of Chapped lips is the most common question in extreme weather situation. Chapped lip are basically cracked lips that become dry, and rough. The skin may be peeling, or look as if it were. Severely chapped lips may even break open and bleed.
Once the lips have cracked open, then they are prone to infection, and eating may become painful as well.
How to keep safe from Chapped lips
- Use Vaseline on chap lip
- Use lip balm
- Don’t use mentholated lip balm for a prolonged period of time, because it causes a “rebound effect” causing lips to actually become more dried out.
- Drink extra fluids to moisturize your lips
- Eat chewing gum
- Use beeswax and petroleum jelly
- Wearing lipstick helps to filter out all light, because it is opaque, so if you use a lipstick containing moisturizing ingredients, you are giving your lips an effective sunscreen as well as sealing in the moisture.
- Deficiencies in B-Complex vitamins and iron can play a big part in chronic chapped lips.
- Taking vitamin supplements, eating a proper diet, drinking plenty of water, and using a sunscreen (or antibiotic ointment, if they are infected) can be all the help you need to maintain healthy, soft lips.
- Avoid licking your lips
- Breath through nose
