Nobody ever likes chapped, dry lips! These easy home remedies will pamper your lips this winter.
Winter is associated with dryness and cold. As with the other body parts, the lips are an integral part of the body. Sometimes we neglect them. Cold weather and frosty conditions can make lips dry and chappy and even cause them to peel off. Lips should be taken seriously!
These tips and tricks keep your lips healthy and moisturized throughout winter.
They shouldn’t be licked too often.
Because the lips dry easily in winter, it is a natural human tendency to lick the lips more often. This causes saliva to collect on the skin, further damaging the body.
Use a high-quality lip balm.
A good quality balm, alcohol- and paraben-free, is the best way to keep your lips fuller and healthier. While you sleep, your lips receive deep nourishment and moisturization.
Protect your lips with a lip balm
When you are outside during the day, it is good to use sunscreen with Sun Protection Factor (SPF). SPF protects them from becoming dry and pigmented.
Hydration is key
The body should be hydrated enough to nourish the lips. Winter is when we are not thirsty, but it’s our responsibility to make sure we limit the amount of water we consume on a given day.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating gently may be a good way to remove dead skin. These home remedies can help you exfoliate your lips and restore their natural softness.
Honey and sugar (preferably brown sugar) can be used as a scrub for chapped and dry lips. They are high in antioxidants and can also be used as a lip balm to protect against UV rays.
Use honey and sugar in a 1:2 ratio. Rub it on your lips for 5-10 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water.
Here’s how to treat your lips at home
Your lips need extra care, just like your face. Here are some simple ways to help your lips.
Almond and lemon oil
Combining almond oil and lemon oil can lighten your lips. It moisturizes and hydrates lips, making them soft and pink.
It can be done with dairy products.
Cream/malai is a convenient and affordable way to get rid of pigmentation. It is possible to depigment and hydrate by using a small amount of cream/malai.
Healthy living and a balanced diet
It is important to maintain a healthy body by maintaining the right water level. These hacks are not enough. It would help if you also were cautious about direct exposure to UV rays, chemical-based tints, and plucking the lips’ skin.
