In autumn or winter, the weather will become very dry, and this season is when the human body is most likely to lack water.

If their lips are dry, they will definitely lick them with their tongue, which will only make the situation worse. So, what should we do if children have dry lips?

Let your lips drink enough water

1 After washing your face, apply a thick layer of lip cream to protect the skin of your lips, but you must carefully read the ingredients of the lip oil. It must not contain phenol or carbolic acid, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

2 Use a wet towel or a very soft toothbrush to slowly remove dead skin, and apply a deeply moisturizing Vaseline or olive oil to improve dry and peeling lip skin.

3. Use moisturizing lipstick made from antioxidant ingredients such as vitamin E and natural ingredients with moisturizing and anti-inflammatory functions such as aloe vera and mint to better retain moisture on the lips and moisturize the lip skin.
