Chapped lips? Need some serious lip help? Read on to find out how to have wonderful plump lips!
Steps
1 Drink plenty of water! When your lips are chapped, it's like a cry for help that your lips are dry! Drink up to 8 glasses of water a day! (Those under 10 should drink about 6) 
2 Exfoliate your lips every couple of days. One way to do this is to take an old toothbrush and wet it with warm water. Then rub your lips gently with your toothbrush. This removes dead skin. Another way is to rub your lips with sugar. Dip your finger in water, then dip in sugar and rub your lips with it. Smack your lips and wipe (or lick!) The excess sugar.Be sure to apply lip balm at the end. 
3 Do not use Chapstick brand lip balms. The chemicals dry out your lips, so in the end you will have to reapply it a lot more often. Try brands like Nivea, Softlips, or Burts Bees. All of these products are available at most pharmacies at low cost. 
4 Never leave your lips bare. You should never leave the house without lip balm. Keep one in your car, in your wallet, or in your pocket. The small tube of Softlips is very convenient to carry, especially when going to the beach or going outside in winter. Lips burnt in the sun and in the cold are very sore. Use SPF 15 lip balm in spring and autumn. Use SPF 20+ in summer and winter. 
5 Patience is great. Don't expect to get perfect lips overnight. Use Vaseline or lip balm 2 times a day. You will notice results in about a week. Follow each of these steps every day for soft, kissable lips.
Warnings
- Excessive licking and exfoliation of your lips can cause your lips to dry out faster.
