As a victim of dry lips myself, I have been searching for ways to get rid of them. Nobody likes having dry lips, so why should we have to deal with it? There are so many different ways to help, but the hard part is trying to find one that works best for you.
Mix sugar with olive oil. You can use brown sugar or regular white sugar. Let it sit until it gets to a gritty consistency. Apply an even layer using a brush or finger, and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes. Once the 2 minutes are up take an old toothbrush and rub your lips with the gritty mixture. Finish off with your favorite chapstick or gloss.
This cure helps brush off all of the dead skin flakes leaving a smooth surface. Make sure not to lick your lips, because the result leaves your lips feeling drier than before.
Cure #2
Maybe you are more of a honey girl. This cure follows the same steps as the first one but just uses different ingredients.
Mix some honey, olive oil, and a teaspoon of baking soda. This time your recipe will form a thick foamy paste. Follow the same steps above for application and rules.
Cure #3
If you do not want to bother with making a formula, than this will be the easiest for you. The time for the curing will take a little longer, but will leave you with a satisfying result.
All you need to do is pick out a good chapstick and apply it whenever you feel the urge to lick your lips. Easy is it not? Also, apply it every morning when you get up and right before you crawl into bed for the night.
I recommend not using Vaseline or Petroleum jelly, because these products contain petroleum, a.k.a gasoline. Whenever you lick your lips while this product has been applied, you are swallowing gasoline. This can cause cancer or other diseases.
Cure #4
Invest in a nice exfoliator or lip smoother cream. Follow the instructions on the back of the package/ container. I like Mary Kay's, Any brand will work though.
I hope this helps you all with your dry lips. I personally despise them and love each and everyone of these cures.
Toodles,
