Harmattan cracked lips...home remedies to fix it.

The season of harmattan is here again...The cold winds and the dryness of the skin,the cracked lips,..omg!!!

If your lips are so cracked that it hurts to smile, try soothing them with a home remedy that will make them feel better. Here are a few suggestions:

*Rubbing a cucumber slice on your lips daily for about 10 minutes is also known to be effective.

*Rubbing some aloe vera gel on your lips can be soothing.

*Rubbing a little honey on your lips will moisturize them and make them feFor an ultra-moisturizing lip treatment, rub a little oil on your lips. It will sooth and moisturize your lips while also protecting them from further damage. The following oils are helpful:
Coconut oil
Almond oil
Jojoba oil
Olive oilel better.


*Exfoliate your lips. Before applying any sort of ointment, remove the dead skin using an exfoliation method. This will expose the fresh skin and help your lips start to heal. Don't rub your lips too harshly ,Gently massage them.

*Use a salt or sugar scrub. Apply the scrub to your lips and massage them in a circular motion, rubbing away the dead skin. Your lips should feel soft and renewed.

*Don't lick or pick at your lips. These two common habits can dry out your lips more and lead to an infection or a cold sore. When your lips are chapped, avoid the temptation to lick them constantly or pick at them.
Cracked, dry or sore lips are common in dry, cold weather. Chronically cracked lips might be a symptom of a more serious illness, but cracked lips can usually be treated using home remedies.

*Drink plenty of fluids. Having 8-10 glasses of water per day is ideal. When your body is dehydrated, it often shows first in your lips. The more water, the better!

CONCLUSION :
These are home remedies that work...

Have a great weekend
