What Are Dry Lips?

Before we talk about dry lips home remedies, let us understand what exactly dry lips are:

Dry, tight and cracked lips feel even worse than they look. Unlike the rest of your skin, your lips don’t have oil glands. This makes them easily become dry, flaky, and irritated. With the right home remedies for dry lips, you can keep your lips smooth and hydrated all year round! 

5 Natural Home Remedies For Dry Lips 

Here are some of the best home remedies for chapped lips that can help you manage and nourish dry lips:

• Sugar And Honey Lip Scrub: For lip exfoliation, you can mix some sugar and honey to make a scrub. Apply that scrub to your lips and gently rub it in to remove dead skin. Make sure that you aren’t harsh with the scrubbing, as it can make your lips bleed.

• Coconut Oil: Lack of oil glands plays a defining role in making your lips drier and more prone to flaking or scaling. Coconut oil has been revered as an effective remedy for skin moisturization for ages. Just like your skin, honey can deeply moisturize your lips and enhance its barrier function to soothe and heal chapped lips. All you have to do is dab some coconut oil on your lips and experience the magic happen.

• Aloe Vera: The damaging effects of sun rays can really do a number on your lips. Aloe Vera has amazing skin-calming, anti-inflammatory and mildly exfoliating properties that can help repair and rejuvenate cracked skin. Try scooping out some fresh Aloe Vera straight from the plant and applying it to your lips every day. You will be able to see noteworthy changes with consistent use. 

• Honey: We all must have heard that honey is the first thing that a baby is made to lick when he/she is born. That’s how sacred it is in many cultures. With its many amazing properties, honey is regarded as a time-tested remedy for cracked lips and good health. You can apply some organic honey on your lips like a balm and enjoy its delectable taste as well.

• Ghee: Ghee is an age-old home remedy for chapped lips. You can apply it directly onto your lips to nourish and moisturise them. You can also use Shankara India’s Gheesutra Strawberry Lip Butter to achieve velvety, soft lips with regular use.
