5 Genius Ways to Prevent Chapped Lips
No one likes the sight of chapped lips and we all hate putting lipstick on them. Sure, lip balm is a great tool to help but it isn't really the only way. Check out my 5 best, easy and genius ways to finally have those soft, luscious, gorgeous lips!
1. Don't Lick Your Lips
Most of us lick our lips when it feels dry. (yes! I'm guilty of this too!) But as much as possible, prevent yourself from licking your lips throughout the day. Though it adds moisture in the short term, saliva actually contains acids that can dry them out even more!
2. Drink Lots Of Water
When you're dehydrated, your lips crack. So naturally, when you drink lots of water, you're less dehydrated and your lips will look healthier.
3. Use Petroleum Jelly
Not really into spending so much in expensive lip balms? Try petroleum jelly! It's super moisturizing (even more than other lip balms) and it's super cheap! It has a lot of uses too, so it will be really handy to have one in stock.
4. Apply Balm Before Washing Your Face Your cleanser or soap might actually be the culprit! Soaps can cause drying of your skin including your lips! Before washing your face, try applying balm or any moisturizer (hmmm, hello petroleum jelly!) on your lips. It could make such a difference!
5. Take A Pass On Citrus Fruits
If you already have chapped lips, don't go for orange juice or other citrus fruits, it can cause more dryness and can make them worse!
