A common problem of all ages, dry and cracked lips can be very uncomfortable. There are many reasons for chapped lips including dry, cold weather, dehydration, B-vitamin deficiencies, sensitivity or allergy to lip products, toothpaste or mouthwash, and licking the lips.
The best approach for chapped lips is a soothing, moisturizing lip balm applied frequently throughout the day. Choose a lip balm with all natural ingredients – pure vegetable oils and butters with beeswax to provide a safe, moisturizing barrier. Organic coconut oil is an ideal moisturizer for the lips, very mild, gentle and soothing. Organic cocoa butter is rich and creamy, perfect for the lips. Soothing and healing herbs like Calendula are ideal for topical application to the lips and skin. Avoid flavored lip balms as they tend to encourage licking the lips, and may cause sensitivity or allergy in some people.
Chapped lips can be a problem. To prevent it try to put lip balm or chapstick before you go to bed. When you wake up the next morning your lips will be smooth and soft.
