Dryness, cracking, pain... How can you put an end to chapped lips for good?
Try this easy, four-step care routine!
Why do lips get chapped?
The skin on our lips is much thinner than the skin on the rest of our face. What's more, doesn't have sweat glands or sebaceous glands to protect it and preserve moisture. So, it's much more vulnerable to external damage caused by wind, the cold, the sun, etc. It also dehydrates more quickly and more easily than other parts of the body. That's why our lips become so dry and cracked, particularly during really hot or cold periods.
1. EXFOLIATE
First, it's essential that you remove all dry skin from your lips. To help, choose a treatment that has natural exfoliating particles (like sugar grains, for example)—preferably one that's enriched with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E and shea butter. This will help smooth the surface of your lips while removing dead skin cells, which will help the delicate skin of your lips regain their optimal level of hydration.

2. MOISTURIZE
Keep a highly nourishing lip balm handy throughout the day, and make sure you apply it to your lips regularly. It's an essential step to restoring and maintaining your lips' resistance to harsh weather and pollution. If you have really chapped lips, it will also help soothe the pain that's often caused by cracked lips.
Here are a few key ingredients to look for in your lip balm...
- Jojoba oil soothes, repairs and prevents dehydration.
- Aloe vera has therapeutic antibacterial and restorative properties.
- Coconut oil is easily absorbed, is recognized for its emollient qualities, and is both nourishing and ultra-moisturizing.
- Shea butter helps heal small cracks, restores the elasticity of your skin and renews your lips' natural colour.

3. TAKE CARE OF THE CONTOUR OF YOUR MOUTH
Speaking, smiling, tension... The fine skin around the outside of your mouth is subject to almost constant movement. So, naturally, wrinkles develop there more quickly than elsewhere on your face. What's more, these marks are seen more easily when your skin is dehydrated. So, it's important to provide that area with active plumping ingredients and a healthy dose of antioxidants, to fight signs of premature aging.

It's a great way to protect and beautify your lips while restoring their natural radiance and suppleness.
