The weather is very cold and dry, and my lips are dry and cracked. What should I do?

To prevent and treat chapped lips in winter, you can adjust your diet and eat more fresh vegetables, such as soybean sprouts, rape, cabbage, white radish, etc. If you feel your lips are chapped, don't lick them with your tongue all the time, as this will accelerate the occurrence of chapped lips. Wear a mask if necessary to maintain warmth and moisture on your lips.

The same recommendations from both Chinese and Western medicine:

1. Use lip balm. Both men and women should take care of their lips in winter so that they can survive the cold winter healthily.

2. Take in B vitamins and eat more fresh vegetables.

3. Replenish water. Adequate drinking water is of great help to the balance of human body functions.

4. Licking your lips less. Short-term moisture will cause wrinkles in the lip mucosa, aggravate dryness and cracking, and in severe cases may lead to secondary infection and swelling.

5. It is good to moisturize with oil.

Facial oil, sesame oil or other edible oils (you can also use honey or frostbite ointment) that can be found everywhere, can be dipped in a cotton swab and applied to the lips, which can have a very good moisturizing effect. Sometimes it is more effective than lip balm. OK
