STOP LICKING YOUR LIPS!
It may seem crazy, but licking your lips makes them even drier! It may feel better licking them, but your saliva contains acids that contribute to chapped lips. Leave those lips alone and buy a few cucumbers and lip balm!
Drink More Water
Staying hydrated on the outside means staying hydrated on the inside as well. Drinking 8 ounces of water every day helps keep lips moist, and it's healthy too.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil not only moisturizes well, it gives your lips a nice shine just like lip gloss because of the oil in it. Melt a little bit of coconut oil and apply it to your lips a few times a day. It's a very good natural moisturizer.
Avoid Irritating Foods
Foods that irritate your lips could be causing them to dry out faster than normal. If you're looking to moisten your lips, steer clear of these foods:
1. Salty Snacks (chips, pretzels, lunch meats)
2. Spicy Foods
3. Citrus Fruits (oranges, lemons, grapefruits)
