Cure Chapped Lips

Dry, chapped, and peeling lips, are a common ailment of winter. It could be the cold, but it could also have to do with your iron or vitamin B level. If keeping hydrated, and using chap stick(if outdoors use chap stick with SPF 15) or Vaseline, doesn't cure your lips, you can try these remedies:

• Take a Vitamin B supplement
• Take in essential fatty acids: Fish oil or flax seed
• Brush your lips with a dry toothbrush to help improve circulation and remove dead skin
• Rub Olive oil on your lips, and use oil in your diet (on salads, as a dip for bread, etc)

If they do not heal up, I recommend seeing a doctor, and getting your iron level checked. If it is below normal you will be given a Iron supplement (be sure only to take what you are recommended).

Other causes of Chapped Lips include:

• Dry Weather
• Licking your lips
• Smoking
• Allergic reaction to lipstick or gloss
