Heal Sore Lips

Sore, dry lips are a common problem in the winter which can be helped with a little dedication and some TLC.

Steps

Toss out that petrolium-based lip chap. It's doing your lip tissues no favours in helping them heal. Your skin needs to breathe!
Invest in a quality lip balm using natural ingredients like beeswax and vegetable derived oils. If it includes honey, it's even better since honey is known for it's ability to draw moisture from the air.
Apply your new balm often.
Cover your face with a scarf every time you venture outside in the cold. You insulate and protect the rest of your body from the cold, so why should your face be any different?
Soon the dead skin will fall away and your lips will be as good as new!
Get some moisturizer (the thicker the better) and after you've brushed your teeth at night, put the moisturizer on your lips, rubbing it on your lips and a little bit around your mouth until you cant see it. Then, get some more and dab a think layer onto your lips so your lips look white (the color of the moisturizer). Leave it on overnight, and during the night it will soak into your lips and dry, leaving them smooth, soft and perfect.

Tips

Drink lots of water as a habit to stay well hydrated. This is also a great way to keep the rest of your face clear.
Use a room humidifier at night and chap-up before bed
Grandma went through all that trouble of knitting that scarf for you, so wear it!
If it's a cold sore that ails you, put an ice cube on it right away.
If nothing is working, see a dermatologist.
