Part 1 of 4: Moisturizing the lips

1. Always have a moisturizing lip balm or lipstick with you. Lip balm not only creates a moisturizing layer on your lips from the petroleum jelly, beeswax or oil it contains, but a good lip balm will also nourish your skin with vitamin E, jojoba oil or another ingredient that works well to moisturize your skin.
   • Whether it's summer or winter, make sure to use a lip balm with a sun protection factor of 15 or higher. This will prevent your lips from burning and flaking.
2. Don't eat salty foods that leave residue on your lips. Salt draws moisture from your skin and other things, which is why people use salt to dry and preserve meat. For example, eating Cheetos leaves a salty orange powder around your mouth, drying out your lips.
3. Throw out cheap lip balms with scents and flavors. Such a lip balm makes you want to constantly lick your lips.
4. Do not pick your lips if they are cracked and chapped. This will interfere with the healing process, your lips will become blotchy and they may bleed.

Tips

• Hold a warm green tea bag against your lips for 2 minutes and then apply lip balm.
• Try to use moisturizing lipstick as regular lipstick will dry out your lips.
• Petroleum jelly works very well.
• Try Vaseline Lip Therapy. This is a different remedy than regular petroleum jelly and is especially intended for chapped lips and dry skin.
• Apply milk to your lips to make them even softer.
• Apply lip balm to your lips in the morning when you get up and at night before going to bed. Don't forget to use lip balm before applying lipstick. Lip balm protects your lips against the harmful effects of cheap lipstick.
• Make sure the toothbrush you use to apply the petroleum jelly is relatively soft. Hard bristles can scrub too many live skin cells from your lips.
• Exfoliate your lips and then apply lip balm.
• Always use a lip balm with ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, etc. This way your lips will always be hydrated.
• It may help to consume sugar before going to sleep. Wet your lips with water and dab a little sugar on them. Wash your lips with warm water in the morning.

Warnings

• Don't forget to moisten or wet your lips before using sugar to exfoliate them. Your lips are very delicate.
