Have you ever faced a problem of chapped or dry lips? Don’t worry, you are not the only one; a lot of people face this problem especially during winters. One of the main reasons for chapped lips is dehydration, which leads to dryness and cracks in the delicate skin on your lips. A few other causes are too much sun exposure or constant licking of lips when they are dry. A lot of people think that by licking their lips they are hydrating them, but in reality the saliva just steals away the moisture, worsening the condition. If proper care is not taken, chapped lips can be very painful too. The first step towards a cure is to drink a lot of water, which keeps your body hydrated; but this is not enough.
So Here Are Some Home Remedies You Can Whip Up In No Time With Everyday Items:
Sugar and Honey Scrub
Sugar is the most easily available ingredient and is an excellent scrub for removing dead skin. Just mix sugar and honey in equal quantities and apply to the lips. Keep it on for a 3 to 4 minutes before gradually massaging your lips to scrub off the dead skin. Wash with lukewarm water and see the difference in just one application.
