As the winter winds blow in you will see the skin on your body change their texture and ever worse your beautiful pout begins to dry up leaving your lips cracked and unappealing. With the holidays around the corner you are definitely expected to look your best and those unsightly lips are not what you expect to show off.

Lips that are chapped, look red, are cracked and bleed. They are extremely painful. The pain intensifies if you eat spicy foods and the spices touch your lips.

Your lips get dried and cracked when they loose moisture from them like during the cold winter season. The best thing you can do is to add moisture to your skin to prevent and cure dry lips.

Lips may get dry or crack due to an allergic reaction to a new cosmetic.

Remedies to cure chapped lips

-Increase the moisture in your drink. Drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer 3 times a day. Use a lip balm or gel that is especially made for dry lips. A natural product base like aloe vera will help to heel your lips faster.

-Rubbing aloe vera directly on your lips will give you relief from the pain. It will also stop the bleeding.

-Steam your face so that your lips will receive a hot water compression. This will soften the skin on your lips. Gently exfoliate them after the steam. Do not bite your lips or pull the dry skin with your teeth. His will tear several layers of your skin and lead to severe bleeding.

-Apply the cream of the milk on your lips and let it stay all night. Add a few drops of rose water to it. Wash it off in the morning to reveal soft pink lips.

-Cocoa butter or shea butter is extremely helpful to cure cracked lips. Use it under your lipstick daily.

-Avoid using a flavored lip balm that will lead you to lick your lips constantly as doing so will negate the cause of using the lip balm.

-Avoid drinks that have caffeine content in them as caffeine dries your skin and you suffer from loss of moisture.

-Use Vaseline whenever you can to protect your lips from the harsh elements like sun and wind. When you are exposed to the sun always wear a sun screen.
