Beauty Tips to Get Rid of Chapped Lips and Rugged Skin This Winter
An expert says that the mantra for good wintry skin lies in moisturization and hydration and one needs to take care of her skin from the inside and outside.

‘When stepping out, protect your lips with SPF, just like you do for your skin. This prevents dryness caused by sun rays in winter.’

First and foremost, like your skin, your lips also need hydration. So, do not cut out on water, fruits and vegetables just because one doesn't feel very thirsty in winters.

Apply petroleum jelly regularly and in abundance to keep your lips soft and pink. When stepping out, protect your lips with SPF, just like you do for your skin. This prevents dryness caused by sun rays in winter.

Glycerin is also a good home remedy for excessive dry patches on your skin, area around the eyes and lips. If you have dry lips, avoid using matte lipsticks. Instead use more creamy or sheer textures.

Avoid Smoking, Drink Enough Water to Maintain Soft Lips During Winter
Drinking a good amount of water, shuffling your professional lip balm with remedies like butter or ghee are critical elements of lip care.

Apply shea butter even during the day. It has SPF properties and gives instant boost of nourishment to the lips. Apply coconut oil regularly on your lips during winters to prevent them from drying and flaking. One can also apply the same oil on navel to nourish the lips from within.

Vitamin E-based lip balms are a good source of anti-oxidants and help maintain texture of lips. For dry chapped lips, use honey and sugar scrub made at home. This mixture gently removes dryness and honey keeps it nourished and soft.
