Making Your Lips Soft

  1. Be patient. Whatever strategy you use, develop it as a routine. Your lips might not be the desired softness immediately. It will take time.
    • Your routine might be daily. You can exfoliate and clean your lips after your brush teeth in the morning and at night. This habit will get you in the daily routine.
    • It is recommended, if you are using a scrub, to use it twice a week.
  2. Apply petroleum jelly or vaseline. You can apply this on your lips using your finger or a toothbrush. The toothbrush may help exfoliate your lips or work the jelly into your lips.
  3. Add a sugar scrub to your routine. You can make a honey lip scrub to use to both exfoliate and to moisturize your lips. This will make your lips extra soft.
    • A simple sugar scrub is 1 cup sugar and ½ cup olive oil, mixed together and applied as a paste.
    • There are many great and easy recipes to make your own sugar scrubs.These recipes usually involve only a few ingredients including sugar, oils, and water. Check out Make-Honey-Lip-Scrub for an easy recipe.
  4. Apply a tea bag. This trick may sound a little odd, but scientists have shown that a tea bag can help revitalize skin. After you have steeped your tea in hot water, apply the bag directly to your lips for 3-5 minutes. You will notice softer lips.
    • To do this, you can use any type of tea. Green tea is especially good because of its antioxidants.
    • Squeeze the extra water out of the tea bag before apply it to your lips.
  5. Wear a moisturizing lip balm. A good tip is to own a few different lip balms and put them in different jackets or purses. This will ensure that you will always have one on you.
  6. Avoid flavors, dyes, or fragrances. Artificial additives can dry out your lips and make them appear less healthy. Staying with natural products is always a better solution for your lips.

Preventing Lip Damage

  1. Stay hydrated. Often, people do not get the recommended amount of water in their diet. Doctors suggest that if you are feeling thirsty, you are already showing signs of dehydration. This can very easily dry out your lips and make them crack.Stay hydrated each day by drinking the required amount of water based your lifestyle. This will help repair your lips and keep them soft.
    • The required amount of water for each person depends on activity level, weight, time of year, etc. The CDC recommends that you get the proper amount of fluids by eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of water.
  2. Avoid spicy foods. Spicy foods, such as chillies, can cause dryness or irritation to lips. If you are to eat your favorite spicy curry, make sure you first coat your lips in a balm or oil to protect them.
  3. Apply almond, coconut oil or butter. These are healthy oils to moisturize your skin. They also have a pleasant taste and can add a layer of protection over your lips.
  4. Avoid hot showers. Hot showers can cause dry skin. Avoid taking a long, hot shower to help repair skin damage. Instead, take shorter showers and/or use cooler water.
  5. Dress appropriately. The elements can cause dry skin. If you are outside during colder months, the wind can be especially brutal. Wear a scarf around your neck and mouth to avoid them drying out further.
  6. Humidify your space. A humidifier will help to pump moist air into a room. This can help your skin naturally moisturize. Often, cold winter months can turn the air dry and harmful against your skin.

  1. Choose a lip balm that include sunscreen. Sunburn can cause cancer, blisters, cracking, and peeling. Use lip balm that contains sunscreen (at least 15 SPF), or a sunscreen on your lips. Use this every day to help protect your lips against the sun.
  2. Avoid allergens. Make sure your lip balm is free of anything you might be allergic to. This may cause an adverse reaction. Cleansers can contain chemicals such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can cause dryness and, in some cases, allergic reactions.
  3. Consider the cucumber. Cucumbers hold a lot of moisture and can be great for your lips. Consider a moisturizer that uses cucumber.
    • You can also apply a cucumber directly for your lips to 3-5 minutes. This will allow your lips to soak up the moisture from the vegetable.
  4. Pick a moisturizer with Vitamins A, B, and E. These are essential vitamins that can help you retain moisture in your lips and keep your body healthy.
