Buff away flaky skin with a soft sugar scrub or a damp cloth. Gentle exfoliation once a week reveals smoother, softer lips.

It might feel soothing, but licking dries your lips even more. Saliva evaporates quickly, leaving them even more parched. Keep a balm handy instead.

Winter sun can harm your lips too. Use a lip balm with SPF to shield your lips from harmful UV rays while keeping them moisturized.

Choose lip balms with natural oils like coconut or almond, & ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E & ceramides. These form a barrier to lock in moisture & protect your lips from the harsh weather.
