From Chapped Hands to Chapped Lips

Whatever about having chapped hands, it's another thing to have chapped lips.  Both are equally painful and problematic but just like with chapped hands there are always solutions to remedying chapped lips

I recently blogged about chapped hands and therefore won't go on about it again.  I'll just say that what's good for the hands s good for the lips too.

What Constitutes an Effective Lip Balm

The ingredients are what make an effective lip balm.  And those ingredients should be made up of the following:-

Coconut oil or cocoa butter or combination of the two. -Moisturising

Shea butter - very moisturising

Beeswax - protecting

With these three or four ingredients the lips don't need anything else.  But how can we further prevent chapped lips happening in the first place?

How to Prevent Chapped Lips

• Use daily an effective lip balm whether in the cold or in the sun.  Keep them moisturised and protected
• Wear factor 50  sunscreen around the lips in summer (and of course all over)
• Wear a scarf that covers your lips in the extreme cold and wind
