Chapped Lips


If your wondering why you might be getting chapped lips in the summer time, here's your answer!

Chapped Lips are actually caused by:
-exposure to excessive sunlight
-exposure to dry or cold air
-dehydration

Everyone already knows that you can simply heal chapped lips by putting on chapstick. But I have researched a couple other ways to heal chapped lips. If you are just planning on using lip balm or chapstick to get rid of chapped lips it needs to have vitamin E in it. This will help smooth the lips better. Also if you can find one containing aloe vera in it will help as well. Another causing factor is flavored lips balm or lip gloss ( By the way lip gloss is the worst thing for your lips!). The flavoring increases irritation encouraging you to lick your lips making them chapped.

How to Prevent Chapped Lips:
-Apply a lip balm with SPF in it to lips everyday
-Drinking more fluids

If you have chapped lips:
-You can use a tooth brush that you DO NOT use for your teeth and get it a little wet, sprinkle regular sugar on the tooth brush and brush gently on your lips. After doing so wash the tooth brush off and gently rub again WITHOUT the sugar. Then dry off with a wash cloth and apply lip balm directly afterwards.

I hope this daily tip for girls helped you if you have chapped lips. Please comment below if you have any questions or requests. Thanks!

Love,
