Dry and chapped lips can be uncomfortable and frustrating.

Cold weather, dry air, sun exposure, dehydration and certain habits can all contribute to lips feeling dry, flaky or uncomfortable.

A gentle and consistent lip care routine can help improve the way your lips feel and support a smoother, more comfortable appearance.

What Causes Dry and Chapped Lips?

Common factors include:

• Cold weather
• Dry air
• Wind
• Sun exposure
• Dehydration
• Lip licking
• Biting or picking
• Excessive exfoliation

Sometimes persistent or severe lip problems may have other causes, so it is important to seek professional medical advice if symptoms do not improve.

Step 1: Keep Your Lips Moisturized

Start with a suitable lip balm.

Apply it regularly throughout the day whenever your lips feel dry.

Choose a formula that feels comfortable and follow the product directions.

Step 2: Avoid Licking Your Lips

It may feel natural to lick dry lips, but repeatedly doing so can make the lips feel even drier once the moisture evaporates.

Instead, reach for your lip balm.

Step 3: Don’t Pick Flaky Skin

Peeling or picking the skin from your lips can cause additional irritation.

Allow the skin to recover naturally and keep the area moisturized.

Step 4: Exfoliate Carefully

If your lips have loose, flaky skin, a gentle lip scrub may help smooth the feel of the lips.

However, don’t exfoliate irritated or damaged lips aggressively.

Use your Jashie Lip Scrub according to the product directions.

Step 5: Use an Overnight Lip Mask

An overnight lip mask can be a useful addition to your evening routine.

Apply your Jashie Lip Mask according to its instructions before going to bed.

Step 6: Stay Hydrated

Remember to drink enough water throughout the day.

Hydration is an important part of your overall wellness and skincare routine.

Step 7: Protect Your Lips

When you’re outdoors, protect your lips from environmental exposure.

If you’re using a lip product with SPF, follow its application and reapplication instructions.
