If your lips are in a cracked and chapped condition, then it's important to exfoliate them. Cracked lips are at risk of getting infected and they can feel uncomfortable. When you have a flake on your lip, the first thing you do is lick it then bite or pull at the flake. It's something we do automatically and it can cause raw patches. Get rid of the flakes and you will have healthy and comfortable feeling lips. Your lip balms will work better as they aren't getting absorbed into dry flaky skin.
To exfoliate your lips gently, you can use a clean muslin cloth or flannel. Use coconut oil in a thick layer and let it penetrate for a few minutes to soften any flaky patches. Put the Muslin cloth over your forefinger and gently massage your lips in a circular motion. Take care not to scrub as you only want to remove the dead skin and not hurt the delicate lip tissue.
Follow with a natural lip balm to keep your lips in kissable condition.
Lipsticks and glosses look much better on a moisturised and cared for lip and the products will have better-staying power too.
You can get SPF lip balm and this is recommended for use when the sun is strong and you are exposed to harmful UV rays. UV rays can activate the cold sore virus (herpes simplex virus) but use a good lip balm can prevent this. Cold sores are painful and are contagious. If you get a cold sore, you will need to discard any products you are currently using. In the event of a cold sore breakout, you can help to heal by using essential oils to treat the sore. Lavender is healing and soothing. Dilute Lavender into some olive oil and apply it to the affected area.
Do not use any other lip products whilst the sore is active.
