Just like our skin, dry lips are inevitable during the cold, dreary month of February. You should absolutely make running to CVS a priority if you want to keep your lip moisturization on fleek.

This may come as a shock, but something you do often is actually making your dry lips worse. Avoid licking your lips! I know this can be hard, because sometimes we even do it subconsciously, but stop it!

 

Your saliva is acidic, so constantly licking your lips when they are dry can cause them to become even more dehydrated.
