Keeping Your Lips Moisturized

During the winter, our lips are one part of our body that is always exposed to the cold weather, so it is important to maintain their moisture. Keeping your lips nourished and healthy may seem difficult, but there are many ways you can go about keeping your lips healthy and vibrant.

First and foremost, lips don't have glands to produce their own oil and since they are always exposed to the elements, they can very easily get dried out. One of the best ways to keep your lips healthy and conditioned is to apply a nourishing lip balm frequently. Applying some in the morning, throughout the day and at night before you go to bed will help keep your lips moisturized. And don’t forget to reapply! We have mentioned this before and will continue to mention it because it is a great practice for combating dry lips.

In addition to regular use of a lip balm, here are some tips to help keep your lips moisturized:

• Stay hydrated! Drinking water has a ton of benefits for your body and one of those benefits is helping to fight dehydration and dry/chapped lips.
• Try using a humidifier. These devices help provide the moisture to your lips that they need. Humidifiers are great to use at all times during the winter, but they are especially beneficial overnight. Try turning yours on while you sleep and see how it can help replenish the moisture in your lips while you sleep.
• Don’t continuously lick your lips. This might feel good when your lips are chapped but it only makes the chapping worse. As your saliva dries, it takes more moisture away from your lips so when you get the feeling to lick your lips, be sure to reach for a nourishing lip balm instead!
• Protect your lips while you are outside. If possible, simply covering your lips with a scarf can help to protect them from the winter weather and thus becoming dry and chapped.

TIP: Keep multiple lip balms stashed in various places - one in your purse, in your desk at work, in your car, and by your bed so that you can always have easy access to a moisturizing product for your lips!
