Dry, chapped lips can be painful, unsightly, and frustrating to deal with. But with the right care and attention, you can soothe and protect your lips from dryness.  In this story, we will discuss 10 proven tips for soothing chapped lips and share some expert advice from Dr. Roze BioDental Clinic Dubai.

Tip #1: Hydrate from the Inside Out Done Right

One of the most important steps in preventing and treating chapped lips is staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and lips moisturized from the inside out.

Tip #2: Use a Humidifier

Dry indoor air can cause chapped lips and other skin issues. Invest in a good-quality humidifier to add moisture to the air and keep your lips hydrated.

Tip #3: Avoid Licking Your Lips and focus on breathing through your nose

Licking your lips may provide temporary relief, but it actually makes chapped lips worse. Saliva contains enzymes that break down the delicate skin on your lips, leading to dryness and irritation. Mouth breathing can cause dry mouth and lips. Focus on breathing through your nose, and speak to your doctor about sinus and allergy medication if you’re often congested.

Tip #4: Protect Your Lips from the Sun

UV rays can damage the delicate skin on your lips and cause dryness and chapping. Use a lip balm with SPF protection to keep your lips safe from the sun's harmful rays.  To repair your lips after a sun burn , try Aloe Vera : Aloe vera has a number of uses and is best known as a home remedy for sunburns. Its anti-inflammatory properties and soothing effect make it a great choice for treating chapped lips, too.

Tip #5: Choose the Right Lip Balm

Not all lip balms are created equal. Look for a lip balm with hydrating ingredients like beeswax, shea butter, and coconut oil. Avoid products that contain menthol or camphor, as these ingredients can dry out your lips even more. 

Tip #6: Exfoliate Gently

Exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells that can otherwise prevent your lip balm from reaching and moisturizing the new skin underneath the flaky areas.It smooths out as well rough patches on your lips. Use a gentle lip scrub once or twice a week to exfoliate and hydrate your lips.
