Lips need to be taken care of like any other part of the body. Lack of care leads to poor condition of the lips. In many cases, the skin breaks and bleeds. We use marketed products to keep lips soft. Be it lip balm or lip gloss, I buy and use almost everything. The chemicals in these products further damage the lips. Chapped lips are not only affected by weather extremes but also by very hot, humid weather. The skin of the lips becomes dry. Applying lipstick over it makes the lips more chapped. So you should take care of your lips regularly. Make lip balm at home, not in-market products.
