Have you ever had experienced of a very dry lips and eventually it start to stretch and the worst start to happen that your lips start to bleed???? well I dooooo.. :((
this happened to me last few weeks but i wont even bother to prevent it at first because i thought it was just NORMAL?? but when it starts to bleed i am sooo damn scared and start to make research on internet on how to prevent and cure chapped lips..
so here are what i found,some of the info might be something you already know some might be not..so i'll juz summarize it in DO AND DONT'S point..:)
DOs
- DRINK A LOT of plain/mineral water everyday. (try to drink the whole 1.5 L mineral bottle per day)
- EAT LOTS OF FRUITS (preferable citrus fruits like oranges). yeah this is my mistakes,since i've been working i rarely eat fruits and the worst part is i am not a veggie person,eww i hate vegetables. so i am thinking to take Vitamin C tablets everyday.
- PUT LIP BALM. use lipbalm/petroleum jelly like vaseline or nivea lip balm,it will prevent more damage on your lips.
- PUT HONEY on your lips before going to sleep. yes,its a traditional method to maintain your lips moisture.
DON'Ts
- LICK YOUR LIPS. yes,i tend to this every time i feel it dry and surprisingly it is the worst thing to do coz i juz know that certain enzymes present in saliva (normally used for digestion) irritate the lips, and the evaporation of the water in saliva saps moisture from them. OMG!
- PULL THE DEAD DRY SKIN roughly as it will only make things worst. like seriously??unfortunately yes it is.
- STAY IN DRY or COLD environment for too long,if you can't avoid it then drinks a lots of water and bring your lip balm along.
