    Effective home remedies to get relief from chapped lips

    Unlike the skin, our lips lack oil glands. This makes it more prone to drying out, cracking and flaking. Chapped and painful dry lips can also be a result of several other factors like cold climate, cosmetics, lack of hydration, etc. While lip balms certainly help, many home remedies yield faster results. Here are a few effective ones that you can try.

    Gently scrub the lips to remove dead skin cells

    Gently exfoliating your lips can help remove the dead skin cells from the surface, thus allowing lip balms and other lip care products to effectively work on healthy skin. Make a scrub using sugar and honey. Gently massage it onto the lips and leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse off. You will notice that the lips are instantly soft and supple.

    Coconut oil is an emollient that offers quick relief

    Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer and contains healthy fatty acids that can condition the lips. Adding a drop of tea tree oil or grapeseed oil to it helps speed up the healing process. Massage the oil onto the lips, twice or thrice a day. This is an effective home remedy and you would notice visibly soft lips just in a day's time.

    Honey can repair cracked lips and has healing properties

    Honey is an age-old remedy to treat skin issues due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties. Dab honey onto your lips and gently massage for a few seconds. Leave it on for some time before rinsing with cold water. However, if you are allergic to pollen and bee venom, you should avoid this one altogether.

    Petroleum jelly doesn't let water escape, helps in retaining moisture

    Petroleum jelly helps in hydrating the skin, and is also an effective remedy when it comes to moisturizing dry and cracked lips. This is because petroleum jelly not just moisturizes the lips, it also creates a barrier that does not let water escape, thus keeping the lips hydrated for longer periods of time. For best results, leave it on, overnight.
