Chapped Lips
Overview
If puckering is painful and pursing is too much to bear, you're probably suffering from chapped lips. Harsh winter weather, dry heated air indoors, and a habit of constantly licking your lips can all help dry out the skin of your lips by causing the moisture in them to evaporate. The result is rough, cracked, sensitive lips that leave you little to smile about.
Featured Remedy
Chapped Lips Mix 1 tablespoon of Vaseline to the same amount of butter; then put 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of sugar and apply on the cracked lips.

Precautions
Chapped Lips
Drinking plenty of water everyday also proves to be helpful to a great extent.
Protect your lips from sun; use a lip balm that has a sunscreen agent as well as natural extracts like Neem or strawberry in it. Lipsticks act as effective moisturizers, so women out there have fun with choosing lipsticks that are highly moisturizing.
Never peel out dead skin, instead allow them to dry out naturally by applying castor oil over them.
Milk cream makes the skin on lips become smooth.
