Dry lips causes and natural cures 

Dry lips are usually noticed when the weather is dry. Dry lips are usually indicative of the lack of moisture in the atmosphere. Our lips do not have any inbuilt mechanisms which will help them secrete oil when there is a change in the weather.




You can help cure dry lips by increasing your intake of fluids. Sipping water throughout the day helps. You can also drink a variety of fruit juices. Avoid eating spicy food. Instead eat salads and fresh fruits.

You can apply a mixture made of milk cream and a pinch of turmeric on your lips. Leave this on for a little while and then wash off. If you don't have any milk cream, you can also use a small amount of butter. Simply smear this on your lips.  Chop a ripe tomato in half. Smear the tomato on your lips. Leave it on your lips. Do this as often as you can during the day.   
Aloe Vera gel is also effective in keeping lips looking and feeling better. You can also use a paste made of margosa leaves on your lips. Cucumber slices will also help your lips feel less dried.
