Dry lips natural remedies

Cracked lips is a condition of cracking and dried out lips. Lips are prone to cracking because lips do not produce oils to protect them against drying, unlike the skin on the face or other parts of the body. You could start by gently scrubbing the lips with a wet toothbrush that has been dipped in baking soda powder. You could also use external applications easily available at home like honey or olive oil or simply smear some cocoa butter on the afflicted area.

If you can bear the sting, applying a few drops of fresh orange juice on the affected area will help.

The application of Aloe Vera gel will work wonders in repairing the damaged skin.

Chop fine slices of cucumber and rub on lips. An easy solution is to take a saline bath. Applying margosa leaves extracts on the lips is a very effective natural remedy for cracked lips. Apply a good quality lip balm on your lips.

Follow a diet that is rich with Vitamin A foods as it helps in revitalizing the skin. Include vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots and spinach that are excellent sources of Vitamin A. Drink at least 8 - 12 glasses of water every day.
