Invest in a nice lip balm to soothe your chapped lips.

What it is

Throughout the winter , I probably use at least five different brands of lip balm, which I spread out between my bag, my desk at work, my bathroom, my bedside table, my dining room table, and my kids diaper bag.

Where I live (Toronto), the winter is usually quite cold but also very dry, so my skin constantly needs to be moisturized, including my lips. If I had to guess, I probably spend 10 per cent of my day reapplying lip balm and moisturizer. And you know what? Its totally worth it. Chapped lips? Honey, not for me. Thats why you should invest in one or two good lip balms to get your lips soft and moisturized.

How it can help

The colder and drier the air is, the more likely your lips are going to be dry and chapped they can even flake off, peel, and crack because the skip on the lips is really thin and delicate compared to the rest of the skin on your body, making them more susceptible to the elements.

Our lips dry out 10 times faster than the rest of the skin on your face so its really important to use extra protection, dermatologist Dr. Melissa Piliang told the Cleveland Clinic.

According to Medical News today, lips dont have oil glands so they cant produce their own moisture this is where a lip balm can help.
