Dry and chapped lips are a very unpleasant problem that can persist throughout the year. What to do when lip balms don't help? Ukrainian cosmetologist reveals what product will help.

What will help with dry lips?

"It moisturizes and removes dryness, heals wounds and cracks, can be used daily, and is completely suitable for the whole family," she said.

According to the expert, a small jar will last for a very long time.

Other tips for dry lips

Use moisturizers

Apply lip balm or moisturizer to your lips several times a day. It is important to choose a product without alcohol and with oils or waxes that help retain moisture.

Drink enough water

Water is important for hydrating the body, including your skin and lips. Drink more water throughout the day.

Avoid licking your lips

It may seem like a logical way to do it, but saliva can dry out your skin. Use a balm or moisturizer instead.

Protect your lips from wind and sun

Cold wind and sunlight can make dry lips worse. Wear a hat or scarf to protect your lips from the wind, and apply a balm with SPF if you plan to spend a lot of time in the sun.

If the problem persists, consult a dermatologist or doctor. They can recommend more specialized products or determine if dry lips are part of a larger skin or health problem.
