Introduction
Chapped lips in winter? It’s a classic seasonal struggle. The good news: you can absolutely avoid painful, flaky lips with just a few simple habits.
Why Lips Suffer in Winter
- They lack oil glands
- They’re constantly exposed
- Cold + dry air = instant dehydration
Build Your Lip Care Routine
- Exfoliate gently once a week (use a sugar scrub or soft toothbrush)
- Use a hydrating lip balm daily — look for beeswax, shea butter, or lanolin
- Avoid licking your lips — it makes dryness worse
Overnight Repair Trick
Apply a thick layer of lip mask or balm before bed. You’ll wake up with soft, smooth lips.
Ingredients to Avoid
- Menthol
- Camphor
- Strong fragrances (can be irritating)
Conclusion
Lip care is skincare. Stay consistent, and you’ll breeze through winter with soft, hydrated lips — ready for hot cocoa and holiday kisses.
