THE FOUR CRUCIAL ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE CHAPPED LIPS TREATMENT
Cracked lips aren’t likely to be repaired in a single day but, with a bit of discipline, patience, and persistence, you can replenish the health of your lips.
1. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS
Keep up your water intake. Your lips are one of the first places to show dryness when you are dehydrated.
Loading up on water-dense veggies will help boost your hydration levels as well.
2. COVER YOUR LIPS WITH AN EMOLLIENT (MOISTURE LOCKING) LIP BALM
Look for a gentle lip balm that contains natural moisturising ingredients like:
- Beeswax
- Shea butter
- Coconut butter
- Olive oil
Applying a lip butter will also provide your chapped lips with much needed relief.Enriched with a fruity strawberry aroma and Hydra IQ,
NIVEA’s Lip Care Strawberry provides instant hydration and long-lasting moisturisation.
3. APPLY OILS TO ULTRA-TENDER LIPS
Gently rub a small amount of soothing oil on your lips to provide great relief for cracked and chapped lips.
Oil helps to moisturise your lips and protects them from further damage. Choose natural nut oils and seed butters, including:
- Coconut oil
- Olive oil
- Almond oil
- Jojoba oil
- Shea butter
- Rosehip oil
NIVEA’s Lip Care Strawberry contains natural ingredients such as jojoba oil and shea butter, and is 100% free of preservatives.
4. CONSIDER A HUMIDIFIER
Consider buying a humidifier if you work or live in a building with excessively dry air.
Humidifiers help to moisten the air, and in turn, your damaged lips.
THE THREE FUNDAMENTALS OF A DRY CRACKED LIPS CURE
Keep your lips healthy in three simple steps:
1. Exfoliate
Gently rub your lips with a homemade mixture of olive or coconut oil and sugar and wipe clean with a face washer or a splash of warm water.
Exfoliating helps to remove the dead flaky, top layer of skin on your lips to reveal the fresh, young skin underneath.
