Exfoliate your lips to remove any dry skin - this is really important! There are lots of ways you can do this:
- use a toothbrush to gently brush away the dry bits
- using a finger, apply some sugar to your lips, rubbing in gently
- if your lips aren't too dry, you can use a cotton wool ball to gently buffer away
Next, wash your lips. This ensures that your lips are clean and free from any build up or bacteria. Dry gently - tap, don't rub.
Before going to bed, use a moisturiser with no alcohol or fragrances, as this will dry out your skin on your sensitive lips. Bedtime Beauty recommends Aveno moisturiser.
Alternatively, use a petroleum jelly such as Vaseline. Make sure you apply it nice and thickly! Overnight, this will make your lips super soft!
If you find your lips getting dry during the day, consider whether you may be licking or touching them a lot. This will damage the surface of your lips and cause dryness. If the weather is cold and windy, shield your lips with a scarf to protect them. Keep hydrated during the day.
