Chapped Lips Remedy - Worry Free Kissing
Need a remedy for your chapped lips? With the Christmas party time fast approaching, this could be the last thing you need. Keep your lips smooth and kissable and you'll have lots of volunteers vying for your attention under the mistletoe!
Our lips are like a sponge and plump up when they absorb water, but they shrink and shrivel when they're dehydrated! They also contain no oil glands, unlike the skin on the rest of our bodies, so they need all the help they can get to stay in great condition. Resist licking your lips frequently, especially if they're chapped and sore.
Saliva contains digestive enzymes which attack the natural protective barrier of the lips (yikes!) and it dries lips out even more. Drink lots of water to keep your lips, as well as the rest of you, hydrated. Use a humidifier if possible to keep the air in your home from drying out, which happens in cold weather when homes are often overheated. Slough off dry, dead skin by buffing your lips with a damp wash cloth or by brushing them gently with a soft bristled toothbrush. Use an emollient, protective lip balm to keep your lips nourished and protected.
Follow these quick and simple steps and you'll be fighting off people who want to get closer to your soft, luscious lips!
