Common conclusions
Your typical drugstore lip balm is likely to contain additives that actually make your lips drier over time. You should start applying an emolient lip balm so you should look for a product that contains shea butter, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, coconut butter, etc.
You should not lick your lips.
Great! You should continue drinking a lot of water because chapped lips are often a side effect of dehydration. Drink any time you get thirsty, and try to swap out coffee and soda for water whenever possible. Within a few days your lips will be smoother and well moisturized.
Smoking is rough on lips, causing dryness and discomfort, so you should stop smoking.
Excellent! Humidifiers add moisture to dry air so that it is much easier on your skin.
When there is little humidity in the air or lots of dry heat at home, the moisture in our skin evaporates more quickly and causes dry and chapped lips. You should sleep with a humidifier because it works just as well to keep your lips hydrated.
