Cold outdoor air and dry indoor heating can leave lips feeling tight. A consistent, comfortable lip-care routine may help you manage that dry feeling during winter.
Why do lips feel drier in winter?
Lower humidity, indoor heating, and habits such as licking lips can contribute to dryness. A lip butter can provide a conditioning layer and help lips feel softer, but it is not a medical treatment.
A simple winter lip-care routine
- Use a gentle approach to cleansing and avoid picking at flaky skin.
- Apply a comfortable layer of lip butter as needed.
- Reapply after meals or whenever your lips feel dry.
- Pay attention to irritation and stop using products that sting.
Can you use lip butter under lipstick?
Yes. Apply a light layer and let it settle before adding lip color. A heavy layer may affect how matte lipstick wears.
Should you exfoliate chapped lips?
Avoid harsh scrubbing when lips are cracked or irritated. If lips remain painful or severely chapped, consult a healthcare professional.
