Prevent Chapped Lips: 9 Easy Tips

How to prevent chapped lips? Winter is about to arrive, and for too many of us, that means chapped lips. Dry, cold air is a leading cause of chapped lips, and while they are easy to treat, the better way is to keep them from happening in the first place. Here are some tips for sensitive lips to prevent chapping and keep your lips healthy and beautiful all season long.

1.  Hydrate

Dehydration contributes to skin dryness in general, and lip dryness in particular. It's very common to be dehydrated in the winter because we need to notice how much water we lose and cold water is less appealing in cold weather. Staying hydrated will help prevent chapped lips and keep you healthier. If your urine is dark in colour, you're dehydrated and need to drink more. Choose flavoured beverages, warm (but not caffeinated) drinks such as tea and hot chocolate, and eat more fruits and vegetables.

2.  Use Sun Protection

People often mistakenly think the sun is weaker when it's cold. This isn't true. The sun produces just as much UV in the winter as in the summer, and you need to protect yourself from it. Every time you go outside, apply lip balm with SPF, even on cold, overcast days. This will help prevent sun damage that can lead to chapped lips.

3.  Use a Lip Mask

At night, pamper your lips with a lip mask. Use a generous layer of lip conditioner that includes hydrating ingredients. You can also use lip conditioner under lipstick or lip tints to prevent them from drying your lips. (And consider lipstick with SPF). You can also use lip plumper oil as a night treatment.

4.  Choose the Right Lip Balm

If a lip balm irritates your lips, stop using it. Choose lip balms with light, non-irritating ingredients, and check the ingredients so you can track any that are inclined to make your lips worse. Avoid lip balms that contain lanolin, cinnamon, citrus, mint, and eucalyptus, all of which commonly irritate the lips. Consider a hydration serum as a moisturizing alternative. Avoid products with fragrances and dyes.

5.  Use a Humidifier

Use a humidifier in the rooms you spend most of your time, especially your bedroom. This will keep the air slightly moist, which is good for your lips and skin. Using a humidifier, especially at night, can also reduce the symptoms of colds, alleviate throat dryness, help you stay hydrated, and prevent nosebleeds if you are prone to them. It's overall good for your health.

6.  Avoid Licking Your Lips

Yes, this is a tough one if you have the habit, but saliva evaporates rapidly and dries your lips out. Using moisturizing lip balm can reduce the urge to lick your lips. If you lick your lips when nervous, consider trying mindfulness or even seeing a therapist. Biting your lips is another nervous habit that exposes them to saliva and can cause them to dry out.

7.  Use a Lip Scrub

Every week or so, apply a lip scrub. This will exfoliate your lips and help them absorb moisturizer better. Apply lip balm immediately to allow your lips to moisturize. However, avoid abrasive scrubs if you have a history of cold sores. Consider a lip hydration system that includes both products for the perfect team-up.

8.  Cover your Mouth When It's Cold

When it's particularly cold, cover your mouth with a scarf, bandana, or face mask. Cover your mouth if you're skiing, snowboarding, riding a snowmobile, etc. Ideally cover your nose as well, because that helps with winter breathing problems and may reduce the number of colds you get.

9.  Breath Through Your Nose

Last, but not least, avoid breathing through your mouth as much as possible. The constant airflow can dry out your lips. If you are having difficulty breathing through your nose, use a decongestant or nasal spray to clear it up.

Chapped lips don't have to be an annoying fact of winter. Follow these simple protection tips, and contact florafinessesbeauty to find the right product to prevent and heal chapped lips.
