1. Exfoliate. People forget that your lips are skin too!! Exfoliation is great for your lips. However, look for an exfoliation product that is specifically made for lips. After you get all that dead and dry skin off then seal with a lip conditioner. A very very soft toothbrush can also be used to exfoliate lips.
2. Moisturize. A great tip I've recently come across is to use a tea bag. Dunk a tea bag (I recommend chamomile) into a cup of warm water. Then press the tea bag against your lips for one to two minutes. The natural herbs really help to soften and add moisture to your lips. Pat your lips dry then seal in the moisture with a moisturizing lip balm or lip conditioner.
3. Protection. Biting lips, licking lips, smoking, and excessive (unprotected) sun exposure can wreak havoc on lips. In fact, licking your lips when they are already chapped just makes the problem worse. Avoid hurting your lips with those bad habits and wear SOMETHING on them. There are also lip sticks and lip balms with SPF in it for much needed protection.
A product that I use and love from Artistry is an actual Lip Care Kit. It's a two-piece kit with a polish and a conditioner. The polish buffs the dead and dry skin for instant results. The Lip Conditioner seals, softens, and soothes with the benefit of antioxidants and vitamins A and E. A great product, especially for the winter or when you just want more kissable lips ;)
Remember to use products that meet pharmaceutical standards. Especially when choosing products that buff your skin. Anything else could cause inflammation or infection (and tends to tear at skin). Artistry is among the 5% of skin care lines that meets pharmaceutical standards.
Wishing you blessings!
