Winter brings about a slew of skin aberrations, note these lip care tips
Mail This Article
Come winter, the discomforts caused by dryness of skin and lips surge. However, as the skin on the lips is thinner than the skin on other areas of the body, the former fares worse. The reason is there are no inherent natural mechanisms in the body to retain moisture, like the skin on the other parts of the body. That's why we need to find some solutions ourselves. Let's see what they are.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is the best way to moisturize lips. It helps to remove dead cells from the lips. Therefore, applying coconut oil also prevents chapped lips. For this, take some coconut oil and apply it well on your lips. You can massage it gently if you want. This will prevent the skin from drying out.
Cucumber juice
Cucumber juice is the best way to prevent chapped lips. Applying a mixture of cucumber juice and rose water every morning and night before going to bed will help to improve lip colour and prevent dryness.
Aloe vera
Aloe vera gel is very good for moisturising the skin. This helps retain moisture in the skin. Use either homegrown aloe vera or aloe vera gel purchased from the store. It helps to soften lips and remove dead cells.
Ghee
Ghee is the best way to get rid of dryness on the lips. You can apply ghee two or three times a day. Applying a little ghee on the lips before going to bed at night will also help to prevent chapping.
Rose water
Rose water is best for removing dry skin. Applying rose water on lips daily will help to prevent dryness. Applying a mixture of olive oil and rose water will give double results. You can apply this twice a day. Rose water is excellent not only for preventing chapping but also for giving colour to the lips.
