my lips are sooooooo dam dry any tips for dry lips

Answers:

You should instead constantly use a lip balm or a lip moisturizer to keep your lips hydrated and soft. In your case, you should apply aloe gel because this is effective for extremely dry lips as well.

You should also drink a lot of water and keep your body hydrated. As we grow older, the body's ability to retain moisture in its cells diminishes and you should help your body along by drinking water every few hours. It is also essential that you identify if you are deficient in any vitamins, especially vitamin B. If you are, this could be the cause of your dry lips and you should take the appropriate supplements to combat the problem. You should also try and identify if you are allergic to your toothpaste or mouthwash because these could also be causing your lips to be dry. If your condition worsens, ensure that you consult a doctor at the earliest.
Dryness of the lips can also be treated by applying a mixture of rose petals and milk. This also helps the lips to retain their pinkness. To reduce dryness and ease pain and discomfort, one can also gently rub a slice of cucumber over the lips. The juice of margosa leaves is known to be effective in healing chapped and dry lips. The juice can be extracted by grinding some margosa leaves. Another beneficial natural remedy for chapped lips is aloe vera. The gel of aloe vera leaves can be extracted and applied to the lips and surrounding skin. Vitamin A deficiencies can lead to dry skin. It is essential to consume foods rich in vitamin A such as tomatoes, legumes, carrots, green leafy vegetables and whole grains. Iron and B complex vitamin deficiencies can also lead to dry lips. One can consume foods rich in these nutrients or consult a doctor regarding the intake of nutritional supplements. Some people tend to drool while sleeping and this can dry out the lips and worsen the problem. Applying a coat of zinc oxide ointment before sleeping will work as a protective barrier for the lips.



hi,
When I get really dry lips I use lanolin or Blistex Intensive Repair. I only use Lanolin at night because it is a funny colour. I make sure I constantly reapply lip balm and drink plenty of water. Oh and don't lick them.

If your lips are dry, it means you are dehydrated. Drink plenty of water every day, and I mean PLENTY. If that doesn't work (which I don't believe), you can always get a chapstick.



Carmex is very good to help your lips. Don't lick them or expose to wind too much.
