Does anyone know a good remedy for dry chapped lips?
Grr that's another thing I hate about winter. Even with creams et all its so hard to keep the skin and lips hydrated. Makes me feel like Medusa.
Combination of - get plenty of vitamin C, drink plenty of fluids even if you don't feel thirsty that often, keep a chap stick handy, smother your lips with chapstick before you go to bed and then in the morning just rub off the dry skin. I use the chapstick made out of bees wax. It works best:)
This one I learned from my mom. Trust me - it works. Before you call it a day, put a drop of oli - any oil - in your tummy button. I t helps.
Last, but not the least, there are some good quality lip balms that come with scrubbing granules - you are suppposed to rub the balm on your lips to scrub away the dry layer. They work wonders too.
