No one likes chapped lips that look like every bit of moisture has been sucked out from it. Wouldn’t you like to have soft, baby pink, plump and kissable lips? Lips that anyone can’t resist the urge of just biting off? Okay, that was a bit violent. But you get what I am saying, don’t you?
I had really chappy lips before. But through a process that only takes one minute, I was able to get rid of that and I am going to share that process with you today.
This process will not only get you chap-free lips but it will also help you to lighten dark lips and make them soft.
Okay, Tell me
First, you need to understand why exactly your lips get chapped and dark.
Prolonged Exposure To Sun/Cold Air
This is the most probable cause of chapped lips. The skin of your lip is very delicate. Staying out in the sun for a while or exposing your lips to cold air for a while will damage it a lot and soak away all of the moisture.
Dehydration
Now, this should be common knowledge. But not drinking enough water will not only dry out your skin but also dry out your lips. Many of us don’t drink enough water which is why our lips get chapped because of not being hydrated from the inside.
Lip Licking
Contrary to the previous one, lip licking can cause dried out lips, which is not that well known. I know that I used to constantly lick my lips. But as soon as I stopped doing that, I saw results immediately. My lips got so much brighter and plump that it’s unreal. The same chemicals in our saliva that starts digestion will also strip away all of the moisture from your lips. So, just stop licking your lips.
Now that we know the three most probable cause of chapped lips, we can move on to the remedy.
You may or may not know that your skin is made up of several layers of skin cells. And that is also the case with your lips. So, the top layer of your skin cells get really chappy. Or otherwise known as dead skin cells. Your body tries to replenish those dead skin cells it’s best. But as you get older, your body gets weaker and weaker and thus it has a lot of trouble to replenish the dead skin cells.
That is why it needs some help to get rid of those dead skin cells for new, radiant and fresh skin cells. Which is called exfoliation. And that is what we are going to do for 1 minute once every week-
How To Get Rid Of Chapped Lips
- Lightly scrub your lips with your toothbrush for one minute. Do it once a week to get rid of the top layer of dead skin cells.
- After you’re done, you need to lock in the moisture with a lip balm. I personally don’t use anything special. I have been using Vaseline for years and it has worked wonders for me.
- Bonus – Apply a thick layer of Vaseline on your lips before you go to bed every night.
I have been doing only these 3 things for my lips for years and my lips have never looked better. Keep it in mind that if you have never done this before, then it will take a couple of months of doing this to see results. But when you do, you will feel incredible.
Don’t be discouraged if you don’t instantly see results. Be persistent and you will get there.
