How can I relieve my dry and flaky lips?

In winter, due to the cold weather, if the lips are not adequately protected, they will become dry and flaky. In more serious cases, they will become chapped, which is very harmful to the skin and the patient will feel very painful. To prevent this kind of situation, it is best to protect the skin of your lips appropriately and adjust your diet.

To prevent and treat chapped lips, you can adjust your diet and eat more fresh vegetables, such as bean sprouts, rapeseed, cabbage, white radish, etc. If you feel your lips are chapped, don't lick them all the time, as this will accelerate the occurrence of chapped lips. If necessary, you can wear a mask to keep your lips warm and moist.

Chinese and Western medicine jointly recommend:

1. Use lip balm. Both men and women should take care of their lips.

2. Take B vitamins and eat more fresh vegetables.

3. Replenish water. Drinking enough water is of great help to balance the body's functions.

4. Lick your lips less. Short-term moisture will cause wrinkling of the lip mucosa, aggravate dryness and cracking, and in severe cases, secondary infection and swelling will occur.

5. Moisturize with oil. Facial oil, sesame oil or other cooking oil (honey or frostbite cream can also be used) that people can find everywhere can be applied to the lips with a cotton swab. It can play a good moisturizing role and sometimes works better than lip balm.
