When the natural oils present on the lips are not sufficient to keep them moistened or soft dry lips is the result. This condition can be further aggravated by climatic conditions like colds or low humidity.
- Avoid licking your lips too often after they turn dry, as licking will further take away the natural oil and worsen the condition.
- Keep your lips moistened with the help of a lip balm or a petroleum jelly. In case you have to go out in sun, use a lip gel with enough sun protecting factor to protect your lips from sun burn.
- Increase your daily water intake.
- Rub a slice of cucumber on your lips. This will help to heal them.
