Drink loads of water

Before anything else, hydrate your body. Drink 10 glasses of water to make up for the dry weather and prevent dehydration. If your body lacks moisture it will be reflected in your dull skin and dry lips. Better start off drinking water even when not thirsty, so that your body remains hydrated and healthy.

Scrub your lips

As winters arrive, your lips become parched. Flaking skin and rough chapped skin greet you daily. To avoid this, kickstart a lip care routine. Scrub your lips with a gentle lip scrub. Either use readymade lip exfoliators to reveal baby soft lips or make a concoction using kitchen ingredients like sugar and honey. Scrubbing removes the dead cells and speeds the cell renewal process.

Keep a lip balm handy

A lip balm is literally your best friend especially in winter. Keep one handy to keep dryness at bay. Each time you feel your lips turning dry, apply it evenly on your lips.  For daytime choose a nourishing lip balm with SPF. This will ensure your lips are safe from the harmful UV rays as well as keep them soft.  For the colder nights, apply a heavier lip butter or repairing lip balm. An emollient lip treatment will treat the cracked lips well.

Ditch drying matte lipsticks

Even if you adore your matte lipsticks, winters are not the most ideal time to flaunt them. Creamy mattes or velvety mattes have a more comfortable finish. Creamy lipsticks, lip creams and lip glosses are ideal for locking in moisture and imparting gorgeous finish.
