How to protect your lip?
Chapped lips can be dry, cracked, and painful. They can be caused by a variety of things, including dry weather, licking your lips, and certain medications. They tend to be especially bothersome during the cold winter months. Thankfully, you can prevent them by following a few easy practices:
Taking Care of your Lips
1. Drink plenty of water. Being dehydrated can cause dry, chapped lips. Try to increase the amount of water you drink to help keep your lips hydrated.
2. Winter has especially dry air, so make sure to increase hydration during this season.
Drink at least the recommended 8 glasses of water a day.
3. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. If you live in a dry climate, prevent dry chapped lips by keeping your air humidified. You can purchase humidifiers at most big-box stores and drug stores.Aim for a humidity level in your home of between 30-50%.Keep your humidifier clean by washing it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Otherwise, it could become moldy or host bacteria and other nasty things that could make you sick.
4. Avoid going out in harsh conditions without protection. Exposing your lips to the sun, wind, and cold will dry them out. Always apply a lip balm or cover with a scarf before venturing out.
Seal in moisture with a lip balm or chapstick that contains sunscreen to prevent sunburning (yes, lips can sunburn too!).
5. Check your intake of vitamins and other essentials. Having any vitamin deficiencies can cause your lips to dry and crack. Make sure you are getting enough of the following vitamins and minerals, and speak with your doctor if you aren't sure you're getting enough:
B Vitamins
6. Use lip balm. Apply a lip balm to promote healing and prevent chapped lips. Lip balm also helps to seal in moisture and protect your lips from outside irritations.
Apply lip balm every hour or two to treat dry lips and to keep them healthy.
Use balm with SPF of at least 16 to save your lips from sun damage.
Apply lip balm or lip mask after you have applied a moisturizer.
7. Don't bite or pick your lips. Biting lips removes their protective covering which causes further drying. Allow your lips to heal and function without picking or biting them.
Pay attention to when you bite or pick your lips as you might not notice doing it.
Ask a friend to remind you not to bite or pick if they see you doing it.
