How To Get Rid of Dry and Flaky Lips

 | Homemade Recipes |

 Every winter, many people have the same question: how to get rid of dry and flaky lips? Regular care and products that you can easily prepare without leaving your home will help restore your skin softness in a few days.

How to deal with the causes of dry lips 

1. Mask

Apply honey to lips and leave it on for 10 minutes. If you resist the temptation to lick your lips, the effect of soft and moisturized lips will not be long in coming.

Butter has a similar effect. Run a piece of oil over your lips and leave them alone for 5-10 minutes.

2. Scrub from peeling lips

To eliminate flaky lip skin, use a scrub, which is now available in the assortment of many brands. However, it is easy to prepare it yourself. Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with the same amount of fine brown sugar. Apply the resulting mixture to your lips and massage with a soft toothbrush for two minutes. The scrub will remove dead particles and restore softness to the lips. Scrub your lips once or twice a week.

3. Massage

A gentle massage will help to enhance microcirculation in the skin of the lips to enhance their protective function. Using a toothbrush, apply petroleum jelly to your lips and massage it into your skin with light massage movements. Blot the rest of the petroleum jelly with a napkin.

4. Lip Balm

Apply a thick layer of a nourishing balm to your lips at night every day (it is best to use one that contains oils). By the way, you can also prepare a balm for dry skin of the lips yourself.

Recipe

• 1 teaspoon grated beeswax
• 1 tsp cocoa butter
• 0.5 tsp shea butter
• 1 tsp oil (castor, olive, jojoba, calendula macerate)

Step 1. Place wax and oils in a container and heat to a liquid state in a water bath, not allowing water to boil, stirring constantly.

Step 2. Remove the melted mixture from the water bath and add 5 drops of vitamin E and a few drops of essential oil (myrrh, lavender, tea tree, ylang-ylang) and stir quickly with a thin wooden skewer.

Step 3. Pour the finished balm into a pre-treated tube or jar. This must be done very quickly, because the balm instantly freezes. Leave it to cool at room temperature or refrigerate.

5. Yoghurts

If small sticks appear in the corners of your mouth, include dairy products in your diet. Substances in milk neutralize salivary enzymes that cause cracks.

6. Decorative cosmetics

When it's freezing outside the window, forget about lip glosses - they dry out lips a lot. Always apply hygienic lipstick before going outside and only at the destination (office, restaurant, etc.), start lip makeup.

And further. Do not lick your lips or peel your skin either outdoors or at home! This will only cause a chain reaction and lead to more flaky and dry lips.
