Chapped Lips
Dry and cracked lips can occur anytime during year and not limited to winter season. The skin peels off and painful cracks appear when lips are stretched.
Possible Causes
Cold weather
Dehydration
Sunburn
Allergic reaction
Fever
Ayurvedic Care
- Use beeswax. It softens lips and heals cracks. Apply 3-4 times in a day.
- Avoid dehydration. Drink enough water daily. Coconut water and fruit juices can help to prevent cracked lips.
- Food enriched with Vitamin B also helps to reduce chapped lips.
- Licking lips is bad as saliva contains gastric juices which further dries up lips.
