5 Ways To Avoid & Heal Chapped Lips

5 fool proof ways to prevent and cure dry lips with beauty blogger Rachael Burgess.

Every winter, if I am not careful, my lips get chapped. Because of this I have come up with a whole list of ways to keep my lips from getting dry and cracked. I am going to share my top five simple methods of prevention with you if you keep scrolling, but first a little personal story.

I have always thought of myself as a lip balm connoisseur. I buy and try every brand I can get my hands on, but I have never been able to find a balm that helps prevent or cure my chapped lips. That is until I tried the Vaseline Lip Therapy lip balm. When I heard Vaseline was launching this new line of lip balms in the States I had to give them a try.

I seriously was shocked by how quick and effective they were in healing my already severely chapped lips. Just take a peek at my lips in the picture below biting into the most delicious chocolate cake ever. That is how they looked after only two days of the Original Lip Therapy. Before they were cracked and dry to the point where I couldn’t put lipstick on because it would clump and be uneven. Now they are soft and supple and totally kissable. So feeling super inspired by my new life saving lip balm, I decided to set up a little Lip Therapy booth (above) and share with you all my top five tips for soft lips.

ONE: Drink lots of water!

This is common sense, but it is so easy to forget when you get busy. I can sometimes get to two in the afternoon and realize I have been running around the whole day without a proper glass of water. Staying properly hydrated is one of the best ways to avoid dry lips. If you are like me and have a hard time remembering to drink water, try getting a new water bottle that you can carry around everywhere you go. Another good idea is to try something like Nuun tablets, a delicious and healthy way to motivate yourself to drink more.

TWO: Avoid Foods That Can Cause Chapped Lips

There are some foods that can make chapped lips worse. These mainly are citrus and spicy foods. It is good to avoid those as much as possible when you feel dry lips coming on. Instead focus on hydrating foods like watermelon, celery or chocolate cake. Just kidding about the cake… But it definitely won’t hurt so you might as well throw that in there.

THREE: Use Vaseline

Like I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Vaseline Lip Therapy tins are the most effective selection of balms I have tried, and I have tried A LOT. I use it right before I put my lipstick on in the morning and right before bed at night. If my lips are chapped I will put on a thicker layer before bed and apply it multiple times throughout the day.

FOUR: Use Cucumbers

Hold a slice of cucumber to your lips for five minutes once a day. Your lips will absorb some of the moisture and you can feel it right away. I always have to cut a whole plate because Zoey comes and eats them while I am busy rejuvenating my lips.

FIVE: Protect Your Lips Outdoors

People often get chapped lips during the winter and that can sometimes be due to the wind and the cold outside. Before you go outside apply a protective balm like Vaseline Lip Therapy (it comes in four delicious flavors by the way!). While outside make sure to wear a scarf around your face to protect your lips from the harsh wind.
