The coconut oil is a natural moisturiser that can be used to seal in moisture and heal split lips. All you need to do is to dab a little on your lips a few times in a day, mostly before bed. Its antibacterial quality also prevents any infections to cracked lips and can thus help give it a holistic solution to soft, supple lips.
Honey is a natural humectant, and this implies that it allows moisture to lift and catch up. To help with the dryness, inflammation, and healing process of cracks, apply raw honey in a thin layer on your lips. To get the optimum effect, let it sit for as long as 15-20 minutes, then rinse it off with some lukewarm water.
The accumulation of dead skin may aggravate flaky lips. By altering sugar with an additional touch of honey or olive oil, a mild version of a sugar scrub will strip away mummified skin cells, turning damaged lips into soft and smooth ones. Apply the mixture to your lips in circular motions for 1-2 minutes and rinse. Restrict exfoliation to 2-3 times per week because of irritation.
Dry lips have been related to dehydration. Adequate consumption of water within your body and lips as it goes through your day keeps you hydrated. Those herbal teas which help facilitate hydration and offer antioxidants that help the skin heal include chamomile or green tea. Combine with topical healing solutions to improve.
Aloe vera is also known due to its calming and healing effect. When put on your lips, a little fresh aloe vera gel will calm inflammation and skin damage and offer persistence. You have to leave it overnight to maximise its effect and wake up to softer and healthier lips.
