Oh the things lips go through! They are constantly abused but what makes it worse is that apart from may be applying some lip balm, we don't do much to take care of them.

Don't lick your lips. It might cool them down for a short while but saliva evaporates fast and when that happens your lips are left dryer than before. Also the enzymes in your saliva are way too harsh for your lips. Breathe with your nose. If you're breathing and panting all the time with your mouth agape, it not only looks bad but the air passing back and forth saps moisture from your poor lips.

Vitamin B and Vitamin E are very important to your lips so make sure you take them as part of your daily diet. Also when choosing a lip balm make sure it has petroleum jelly, paraffin or bee wax. These seal moisture for longer. Aloe Vera is good if you have extra sensitive lips. The product should be a minimum SPF 15 as lips need extra protection from the sun. Some experts even say exfoliating lips with a gentle lips scrub at least once a week makes your lip balm more effective.
