How to get rid of chapped lips

Wash your lips with a moisturizing cleanser to soften the skin.

Exfoliate your lips to remove the chapped skin. Use a wet washcloth or soft toothbrush to gently rub your lips. Alternatively, make your own lip scrub by mixing basic ingredients like sugar, water, salt and honey, recommends BecomeGorgeous.com

Apply a lip balm to instantly add an emollient layer to your lips. However, "Watch out for lip products that contain skin irritants such as menthol, camphor, peppermint, or citrus or those that are highly fragranced," warns cosmetics ingredient researcher Paula Begoun

Drink several glasses of water. This will quickly hydrate your skin, helping your lips to look plumper and smoother.

Do not lick your lips. The moist saliva evaporates leaving you with even drier lips. Saliva also contains digestive enzymes that will make your lips more sore, according to MotherNature.com.
