The skin of your lips is thin and delicate, so dry winter air and sun exposure can easily damage it. Coat your lips with protective lip balm to prevent sun damage, and add a scarf or face mask if you'll be outside longer in winter.

2. Weather

When winter comes, the humidity level in your room will be decreased. This will lead your lips become cracked or chapped. You need to put an air moisturizer in your room during this time.

2. Licking your lips

Kicking your lips wouldn't make you get away from a chapped lips. It will make it even worse. Saliva evaporates quickly, and the same chemicals in our saliva that kick off digestion will eat away at your lip skin with excessive licking.

3. Dehydration

Try adjusting your diet by consuming more red meat, dried beans, dark leafy greens for iron and oysters, beef, spinach, pumpkin seeds for zinc.
