3 Things to Do if You have Chapped Lips
1. Keep yourself hydrated
You may have heard enough of "drink more water". But trust us, this is really at the top of the list when it comes to lip care. Drinking plenty of water will do wonders for your entire body too.
The general rule thumb is to drink 2 liters per day for ladies and 3 liters for gents.
2. Apply lip balm throughout the day and also before bed
If you have dry or cracked lips, you shall apply lip balm daily! Be generous, apply thick layers especially if you sleep under a fan or in air-conditioned room. The dry cold air tends to make lips dry further.
We also have a secret application method to boost lip balm's efficacy! Instead of smearing a big lazy circle, use the "mini circle spiraling" method. Spiral 4-5 small circles for upper lip from one side to the other and then do the same for lower lip. This method provides thicker and fuller protection with the balm fully absorbed in. Try it and let us know!
3. Get a good lip balm

3 Things You Should Not Do if You have Chapped Lips
1. Lick, bite or peel your lips
It may be irresistible. But this is one of the biggest no-no. The more you lick, the faster it dries up. Did you know as saliva evaporates, it takes away the remaining moisture that is in it too? The situation gets worse if you start biting and peeling the cracked lips which then leads to bleeding lips.
2. Use matte lipstick to cover cracked lips
If you are wondering if there is a short term solution from chapped lips, there isn't really. Using a strong coverage lipstick, matte lipstick or lip tattoo will make the cracks worse. It will further dry up your lips and the cracks get worse. We recommend opting for lipstick that is more butter or creamy, and applying lip balm before lipstick.
