What to do if your child's lips are cracked and peeling in summer

The weather is hot in the summer, and people are more likely to suffer from chapped lips, especially children, who are more likely to have chapped lips. Of course, when the problem of chapped lips occurs, you need to take appropriate methods to deal with it, such as exfoliating properly, eating more fruits and vegetables, taking lip protection measures when you wake up, caring for your lips before going to bed, or massaging your lips, etc.!

1. Exfoliate

Every morning or before going to bed, you can use a warm towel to apply a lip compress for about 5 minutes, and rub granulated sugar back and forth on your lips until the granulated sugar is completely melted to remove dead skin on your lips. After that, apply a thin layer of eye cream and use your fingers to massage your lips to promote blood circulation and allow the moisturizer to be quickly absorbed by the lips. Then apply a layer of colorless lip balm to make your lips more moisturized and shiny.

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

As the temperature rises in summer, water evaporates quickly, making it easy to get dry mouth. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as pears, water chestnuts and other foods that have the effect of promoting salivation, to supplement the vitamin B2 and vitamin A needed by the human body.

3. Lip care in the morning

After cleansing your face every morning, use a damp cotton pad to carefully wipe around your lips and lip corners to remove any residue that has accumulated around your lips during the night. Then choose a lip balm with a soft texture, safe ingredients and moisturizing feel, and apply a thin layer on your lips to ensure that your lips get adequate nutrition and care starting early in the morning.

4. Maintenance before bed

It is very suitable for maintenance before going to bed. In addition to using lip balm products that have deep effects such as repair, anti-oxidation, and lip wrinkle removal, you also need to use a lip mask to maintain the lip skin when necessary. Before going to bed, you can also apply honey, olive oil or a thick layer of Vaseline on your lips, then seal your lips with plastic wrap, and finally apply a warm towel. It will achieve a moisturizing effect in just a few minutes!

5. Lip massage

You can do regular lip massage. Lip massage can stimulate blood circulation, tighten the mouth contour, and eliminate or reduce transverse lip wrinkles.

Lip massage method: First, use your ring finger to massage from the middle to the outside in a point-pressure manner, allowing the essence to penetrate deep into the lip skin, promote blood circulation under the mucous membrane, and bring a soothing and moisturizing touch. Then apply a cotton pad soaked in hot water for 10 minutes to restore your lips to smoothness.
