Posts Tagged: ‘avoid chapped lips’

I find myself reaching for the lip balm more and more these days. No surprise — it’s been a beautiful autumn, filled with days that you can spend outside, as long as you can handle a little wind. I’m trying to soak up enough sun to get me through winter, but that wind can make my lips feel like it already IS winter. Wind is the dreaded enemy of healthy lips because it further dries out skin that lacks moisture-providing oil and sweat glands.

So far, the lip balm is doing the trick and keeping my lips moisturized, but I don’t want to spend the winter feeling like I’m single-handedly propping up the ChapStick industry. I did some research at HowStuffWorks on how to avoid chapped lips, and naturally, I’m now passing it on to you.
