In today’s blog we are going to look into How to treat dry lips, as this is especially a problem in the winter months as the weather gets colder.  Dry lips can be painful and don’t look too good either so if you have a problem with this then read on as we tell you how to treat it.  There are a few to choose from.

Before treating your lips you must remove the dead skin, this needs to be done carefully otherwise you will just make your lips sore.

Wet a flannel cloth with warm water but make sure its not too hot and wring it out first.  Gently but firmly rub your lips with the cloth to remove the dead skin.

Once you have removed the dead skin you are ready to try a treatment which are list below.

• Using a soft bristled toothbrush you can exfoliate your lips. You can apply chapstick to your lips before rubbing them with the toothbrush if you would like to as you can then rub your lips properly.  Work from the outer corners of your lips into the middle, be sure to do this slowly.  Apply vaseline to finish off and make sure you wash the toothbrush when you have finished, you can repeat this every 5-7 days to keep your lips lovely.
• The next one to try is the sugar method.  Mix 1 teaspoon of olive (or vegetable) oil, and a small spoon of brown sugar together until it makes a pasty texture.  Apply it to your lips, scrubbing off as many flakes as possible. Then, rinse off your lips with water.
• Another way to get rid of those dry lips is to dab some olive oil onto a cloth or paper towel, then use the cloth to lightly blot the oil onto your lips.  Repeat this a couple of times and re apply when needed.

The best cure is prevention as we all know so to avoid getting those dry lips in the first place you should make sure your lips are dry and apply a good lip balm, this is best done over night as it has chance to work whilst you are resting.

So there are a few ideas on How to treat dry lips, why not give them a try.
