How to Get Rid of Chapped Lips

Traditional vs. Clinically Approved: Lip Care

Lips have always been a very important area of the face, their fullness and definition strongly contributes to improving the beauty and appeal of facial expressions. However, they’re also extremely delicate and it is important to ensure your lips are well-hydrated and protected from endangering factors in order to maintain a youthful, plump appearance.

What Causes Sore, Dry Lips

The outer layer of skin on our lips is much thinner than the skin on the rest of the face. Unlike these other areas, lips don’t produce melanin, the substance which provides natural protection against UV radiation. This makes lips vulnerable to sun damage, causing burning and dehydration resulting in a chapped, damaged texture.

Additionally, our lips don’t produce any natural moisture as they have no oil glands. This means our skin is unable to aid in restoring UV-induced dehydrated lips. When looking for the best lip plumper it’s important to look for products containing hydrating vitamins and volume boosting ingredients that help restore moisture and achieve visibly fuller results.

Traditional Lip Care

One of the oldest traditional lip care remedies is creating a sugar scrub; consisting of petroleum jelly and a teaspoon of sugar mixed together and stored in a cool place away from sun light. Similarly, another method involves crushing a fresh strawberry and mixing the crushed substance with sugar to apply on your lips before the grains dissolved.These two methods are used to recreate an exfoliating effect, removing dead skin from the lips whilst keeping the lips hydrated. Although cheap, both remedies haven’t shown any significant results and a home-made exfoliator is more likely to further damage the lips thinner epidermis.

Our recommendation: stick to clinically proven lip care. It is far safer than any traditional method that risks damaging your lips. Best of all they are backed up with clinically tested ingredients that are proven to work.
