Warm hot chocolate, making snowmen, and long walks through a winter wonderland. We are currently enjoying all the beautiful sights that the snow brings. What we enjoy less? The dry lips that we’ve also gotten thanks to this weather. That’s why we did a little research on the best tips for dry lips, cracks in your lips, or peeling skin. Curious? You can read them here!
1. Hydrate
It may seem obvious, but it’s oh so important. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Even in this weather, it’s important to keep drinking enough so that your skin and lips don’t dry out. It’s better to skip the coffee and alcohol, as they actually contribute to dehydration. Ideal choices are water or tea. Or hot chocolate. We approve of that too.
2. Use a lip scrub
Still struggling with those annoying flakes on your lips? Then you can use a lip scrub to remove them. You can also easily make a lip scrub yourself by mixing honey with sugar. Your lips will become super soft again.
3. Use a lip balm
The best option is to apply a petroleum jelly, lip balm, or a natural moisturizer like honey or coconut oil to your lips. A good lip balm contains no harmful substances and helps the lips restore their natural protective layer. Check all our lip balms here. Some even come in beautiful colors, so your look can still be complete.
4. Adjust your daily routine
When you have dry lips, you can take this into account in your daily routine. For example, make sure to apply your lip balm before cleansing your face. Some cleansing products can still affect your lips, and the balm provides a protective layer. Also, avoid matte lipstick for a while, as it can dry out your skin even more.
5. Hands off
It’s tempting to peel the flakes off your lips or lick them, but this actually works against you. Both actions prevent your lips from healing quickly and ultimately make them even drier. So, as hard as it may be, it’s better to keep your hands off.
And furthermore: enjoy this beautiful weather to the fullest. We certainly are! Do you have any tips we’ve missed? Let us know.
