7 Best Ways To Heal Painful Cracked Lips In Winter!

1. Drink plenty of fluids:
 Having 8-10 glasses of water per day is ideal. When your body is dehydrated, it often shows first in your lips. The more water, the better!

 2. Milk Cream :
The milk cream is a great natural lip moisturizer, which can be used daily by directly applying on lips and gently
washing it with lukewarm water. This is an excellent treatment for severe dry lips.

3. Apply Oils :
For an ultra-moisturizing lip treatment, rub a little oil on your lips. It will sooth and moisturize your lips while also protecting them from further damage. Use natural moisturizers made from nut oils and seed butters.
Here are some examples:
○ Coconut oil
○ Almond oil
○ Jojoba oil
○ Olive oil
○ Cocoa or shea butter
○ Rosehip oil

 4. Apply Lip Balm :
Lip balm can provide instant respite from chapped lips. Lip balm
also creates a seal between your lips and the air, preventing further drying. Just be sure to avoid flavored lip balm, as this can increase the temptation to lick your lips.

5. Don't lick or pick at your lips :
 When your lips are chapped, avoid
the temptation to lick them constantly or pick at them. These two common habits just make the situation worse. Licking your licks may bring temporary relief, but as the saliva on your lips
evaporates, it dries out your lips. Picking at the skin on your lips may lead to bleeding, an infection, or a cold sore.

6. Use fluoride-free toothpaste :
 Some people have an allergy to fluoride that not only affects their lips but can also cause other irritations in the mouth. Switch up your toothpaste and see if you notice a difference.

7. Prevention is Better Than Treatment :
Understanding the root cause of chapped lips will help prevent
painful, cracking lips in the future. If you typically get chapped lips from being outside, try using an SPF lip balm. If you get chapped lips while being indoors in the winter, make sure you are drinking enough and applying moisturizer before the problem gets out of hand.
