5 home remedies for chapped, dry lips
In winter you should avoid licking your lips. This will dry them out even more. Also, you shouldn't chew your lips. Otherwise, minor injuries can occur, which can cause germs to easily penetrate the body and cause inflammation.
To help prevent or treat rough, dry lips, the following home remedies are recommended:
- If you are out and about a lot in the winter, apply a thin layer of fat to your lips beforehand. This protects the lips from drying out.
- Treat your lips to a small massage every week. The best way to do this is to rub gently over your lips with a soft toothbrush. In this way, dead skin cells can be effectively removed. Then apply good lip care.
- Instead of lip care, you can simply spread some honey on your lips and leave it on overnight. Avoid licking the honey with your tongue.
- Apply a moisturizing cream to your lips, especially at night, so they can regenerate themselves overnight.
- Milking fat is also well suited for the care of chapped lips in winter. However, make sure that you choose a product without petroleum jelly.
