How do I get rid of dry lips (chapped lips)?

1. Healthy diet

In reversing any of your internal or external body ailments, following a healthy and balanced diet takes the first and foremost place and there is no dispute in it.

It is essential to consume all vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, lean meat, fish and lots and lots of greens to maintain your skin health. This would help in keeping your lips silky smooth, soft and plump.

Avoiding treats with high levels of salt and spice gives a helping hand in optimizing the health of your lips.

2. Use lip balm and lip scrub

Invest in a good lip balm made up of organic ingredients, during the day and night, as chemicals may dry out your lips further. Repeat the application of the balm whenever needed.

This soothes chapped lips and adds a layer of protection. Lip scrub removes dead skin tissues from your skin and reveals soft and supple lips. Made with brown sugar, coffee, cocoa and essential oils, Sukham Handmade’s natural lip scrub makes your lips more attractive and velvety.

3. Allergies from toothpaste

Did you know allergies from toothpaste can cause pigmentation in lips? Yes, observe and check if you are allergic to the toothpaste you are using right now and switch to a new one if required.

4. Stop licking your lips

Being tempted to lick your lips often when your lips are dry is normal. But, beware, this will end up in a vicious cycle. Lips become dry, you lick them, they become even more dry, you lick them, repeat….

5. Hydrate yourself

Drinking lots of water is of paramount importance when it comes to curing dry lips. This keeps your lips free from cracks and dryness and puts irritation at bay.

6. Aloe vera and honey magic

The anti-inflammatory and skin protecting properties of aloe vera nourishes cracked and dry lips and makes them hydrated and soft. 

Apply a small amount of fresh aloe vera gel mixed with honey which has fabulous exfoliating properties, on your dry lips and wash off after 10 minutes. Lovely lips in a jiffy!

Aloe vera also helps in achieving glowing skin naturally through a simple massage.

7. Banana and curd lip pack for gorgeous lips

Mix some mashed banana with two teaspoons of curd and make it a smooth paste. Apply it on your lips and leave it as such for 10 minutes. Wash off with plain water. 

The vitamins and antioxidants present in bananas keep your lips glossy and healthy. Vitamins including Vitamin B12 and lactic acid present in curd replenishes the skin of your lips and adds glow to it.

8. Beetroot and butter bash

Extract the juice of a small piece of beetroot and mix it with butter and apply on your skin. This acts as a lip balm and a lip gloss simultaneously. 

Beetroot is rich in Vitamin C, iron and a plethora of nutrients and it adds a red tint to your lips besides nourishing them so well. Butter which is rich in fat and vitamins A, E, D and K adds in extra moisture to your skin making it lustrous.
