Lip Balm
Lip balms are designed to moisturize the lips, so it is a no-brainer for it to be a solution for chapped lips. Though not every household has lip balms readily available, it is still one of the most effective home remedies worth trying.
Lip balm seals moisture into the lips to stop flaking from worsening and prevent the possible development of sores or wounds. Since they are also formulated for human use, they are unlikely to cause irritation and other undesirable side effects. Unless the lip balm product is from a dubious manufacturer, it is generally safe and should provide the intended results in mild to moderate lip chapping cases.
Some lip balms are specifically intended to treat lip chapping. They contain special ingredients such as shea butter, squalane, prickly pear oil, sea succulent extract, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, antioxidants, vitamin C, and vitamin E.
It is unnecessary to put on generous amounts of lip balm. Instead, a thin layer should suffice. Also, it should be discontinued if there are unwanted reactions on the lips or the chapping worsens.
