Dry Lips

Some Home Remedies For Dry Lips:

• The most important remedy for dry lips is to drink plenty of water. Dehydration causes dryness of lips. To deal with this, humidify the room, increase your intake of water during winter and summer to keep your lips smooth and soft.
• If in spite of drinking water, the lips are dry and cracked, apply a cool washcloth to your lips. Also try to seal in some balm onto your lips or petroleum jelly. Leave it for 3 to 4 minutes. Keep applying it as you find your lips getting dry. This will also help you to peel away old skin.
• Chapped lips can lead to infections. So to avoid further deterioration, use over the counter antibiotic ointment.
• Other remedies are rubbing cucumber slices over your lips, neem extract and aloe Vera.
• When you are washing your face, add a little sugar to your cleanser and rub gently over the lips. Sugar will help exfoliate the lips and unlike salt, it will not dry out the lips.
