Help I have broken my lips.

Well we know winter is very much here now. Well I know it is in England.
Everyone is wrapped up in hats, scarf and gloves and the heating has finally been turned on.

This for me also means the return of something more dreadful, painful, unattractive and annoying.
No not me moaning.

It is the return of having dry and pretty much broken lips.

What I have to admit, is when I am stressed I do pick at my lips anyways but because the cold weather sort of came out of nowhere. I wasn't prepared and my lips have been badly suffering.

So products to use.

First thing you should do is with a old clean toothbrush, brush your lips to get rid of any dry and dead skin off your lips.

Then you should apply a protective lip balm to your lips. Try to avoid lip gloss and vaseline (Why vaseline you ask, well the petroleum in vaseline actually dries out your lips more, meaning you put more on and you buy more tins. Nice marketing ploy there.)

So when you buy your lip balm try to look for one without petroleum in. My personal favourite is the blistex daily lip conditioner, which although smells very medicated. Is one of the few products that does heal my lips whether from dryness or from me picking at my lips and it is also more unisex so your boy mates can steal it too.

It also doesn't contain any petroleum. So it won't purposely dry out your lips. Result.
