So, In this article, I am going to list out some effective home remedies to keep in mind to prevent chapped lips faster at home.
1. Butter
The first and foremost well-known home remedy that our mothers started using it for several years for treating chapped lips. Applying butter to lips can reduce lip crack faster than any other home remedies. Butter is a natural moisturizer for softening your lips. Simply take a little amount of natural butter and apply it to your lips and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Now wash your lips with warm water. You can observe the change within 3 days.
2. Honey
Honey is a beautiful natural ingredient to treat cracked and dark lips. It is an artificial sweetener to cool your skin with its hydrating properties. You have to apply the honey 3 times throughout a day. As I have personally experienced with chapped lips recently after applying honey to my lips for 2-3 days the pain (peeled lip pain) got reduced. It works as a natural exfoliator to reduce the dryness of our lips. Take a small amount and apply it directly to your lips. Use this 3 times a day to get better results.
3. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used to moisturize your lips which are more sensitive to handle. It can heal your skin from drying out. You can also use coconut oil to cleanse and moisturize your skin and to remove the makeup. By adding coconut oil to your lip care routine there will be more chances for maintaining smoother skin. Take a few drops of coconut oil and rub it gently to your lips with your fingers until it spreads on your entire lips. If you want to maintain glossy and beautiful-looking lips without any cracks try this frequently for better results.
