Dry and Chapped lips?!

If you're one of those "lucky" people like myself that suffer from "dry-chapped-lip-syndrome" here are some of my personal tips and a little for getting your lips "back in shape" so keep on reading!

#1 We all know how important water is for our bodies and guess what? Our lips thirst too so be sure to be well hydrated, it will help you a lot and go a long way.

#2 STOP licking your lips! If you think it help your wrong, it works in the exact opposite way! You know what happens to water when it's cold? Well... It freezes, so when you wet your lips, go outside it will cause you lips to freeze and then you will get even dryer lips. And what happens to water when it's hot? It evaporates, and will leave your lips thirsty for more - it's just a bad circle!

#3 Scrub Scrub Scrub!! If you're one of chose with dry flakey bits on your lips, try to exfoliate them. You can probably buy exfoliating lipbalms, I know Ole Henriksen makes one, it's his african red tea lip salvation(sooo good!) but if you're bore of a DIY person, you can make your own just simply mixing some olive oil(or what ever oil you have) and then some sugar, just mix it in a bowl and massage it on to your lips and finish with a balm.

#4 Use a lipbalm: now you know why you shouldn't lick your lips, use a good lipbalm to keep'em moist and plump. Many think that you can use Vaseline, well you CANT!! The Vaseline only seems soothing but there aren't any benefits, it won't penetrate it goes on like a film, which again in the end will cause your lips to dry out. Personally I like to use Tromborg lip cure by night, and at the moment I'm using a blistex in the daytime, but feel free to find what ever balm that works for you.

Thanks for reading I really hope you liked it? Please do comment if you have some great advice for those chapped lips, I'd love to read them and try them out!
