1. Exfoliate
Stop getting those dry, peeling lip skin by exfoliating your lips regularly. Prepare a sugar and honey scrub. Always get these freshly prepared from your kitchen.
2. Keep Your Lips Moisturized
Coconut oil or any essential oil, particularly lavender oil and rosewater oil, are great additions to your daily pout care. Apply these at night to avoid oily look on your pout. During the day, a lip balm like Sun Bum Lip Balm which at least carries an SPF 15 protection should work fine.
Keep your lip balm in your bag and keep reapplying throughout the day whenever your lips feel dry and thick. If your lip balm leaves ingredients floating on your lips, that's when you know you probably need another brand.
3. Stay Hydrated
Dry lips are also a sign that you may be dehydrated. Keep your mouth and your lips from drying out by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
Water is still best but fresh, unsweetened fruit and veggie shakes can help replenish your system's water levels too and keep your lips moisturized, of course!
4. Maintain Clean Teeth & Mouth
Keep flora and fauna in your mouth well-balanced by brushing your teeth at least 3 times daily. Carry a mouthwash around so you can always gargle whenever your mouth starts to feel and taste funny. When your mouth is unclean, your lips dry out too.
5. Stop Wetting Your Lips With Saliva
Skin on your lips do not contain oil glands unlike most parts of your skin.
Wetting dry lips with saliva will only make dry lips worse because, as the water evaporates, it leaves behind impurities that cannot be transported through water vapor and end up as residues on your lips.
Biting, in turn, will only wound your skin, and done repeatedly, ends up thickening the skin on your lips.
6. Lip Balm
Wear your lip balm throughout the day and even while you sleep. Again, there are no oil glands on your lips to provide natural moisture when your lips start to feel dry.
So, keep that lip balm on. It does not only moisturize your lips but, protects it from getting damaged as well.
