Lip those things with this

These kinds of products keep your lips moist and seal in hydration. 

You want to create a barrier that keeps out germs and heals the cracks and splits. 

Look for ingredients like:

petrolatum castor seed oil, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, 

squalane, hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA, and glycerin.

Your lips are the thinnest part of your skin; 

and when UV rays get too near, you can be assured of damage, breakeage, roughness.

At the first sign of cracking or chapping, add moisture.

Early prevention can also help prevent dryness, especially in the cooler winter months

Most people sleep with their mouths open, can cause to dry out your lips as well.

If your body is dehydrated, one of the first signs will be in peeling, chapped lips.

It dries, it dehydrates your lips even more, making them even drier than they were in the first place.

It can make them even more irritated and painful, when all they really need to do is heal. Such irritation can also trigger cold sores and bacterial infections, which are nobody’s favorite.

— Avoid products that cause even more chapping. 

These include eucalyptus, menthol, and camphor. So as much as you love those magical minty balms, try to steer clear. These ingredients can also cause that mythical “addiction,” by drying your lips out more than they were when you first put it on and making you feel like you need to keep reapplying.
