1) Balms: Serious Lip Service :- Last but not least, what anti-dry lip arsenal would be complete without a lip balm of some sort? Lip balms can bring a smile to even the sorest dry lips; they build a barrier between your lips' mucus membranes and the outside world, helping lock must-have moisture in. 2) Wet Your Whistle :- Sometimes however, especially on cold wintery days, drinking water isn't enough to stave off dry lips. Heated indoor air can get really dry, too, so it's a good idea to set up a humidifier. Putting moisture back into the air mechanically can help rejuvenate even the driest lips.
3) Don't Be a Mouth Breather :- For similar reasons to lip licking, mouth breathing is another no-no. Any moisture that manages to make it to your lips will quickly be whisked away if you constantly blow air across them.
4) Stop Licking Your Chops :- Licking your lips may seem like an easy way to moisten things up, but it actually does more harm than good. Lips usually lack the protective outer membrane found on most other skin, so adding moisture that easily evaporates seconds later creates a vicious cycle that can dry lips out very quickly.
5) Avoid the Elements :- Abusive weather's a real bully, so if you do choose to go outside, protect yourself. No need to leave your lips out in the cold. For example, you can wrap a scarf around your face to block the wind or wear a wide-brimmed hat to keep off the sun -- whatever it takes to shield your lips from extreme exposure.
