Keep Those Lips Luscious All Winter Long

Cool winter weather can zap your lips of much needed moisture. Try this advice to keep them soft and smooth during drier colder spells:

  • Drink more water. It helps moisten lips from the inside out.
  • If your mouth is always dry, medications you are taking could be the reason. Talk with your doctor about switching medications or learning the side effects.
  • Use a humidifier to add moisture to indoor air.
  • Apply lip balm that contains lanolin or beeswax several times a day and before bed. A dab of petroleum jelly on your lips also works.
  • Don't lick your lips; it can dry them out more.
  • When outdoors, use a lip balm that has a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. On blustery days, cover your mouth with a scarf.
