Winters can get pretty dreadful. Our skin feels dry, we get dry hands and feet, chapped lips and skin, dry cuticles, dandruff and many more. But mostly, it takes a toll on our lips as the skin on our lips is much thinner than the rest of the body. But for some people, chapped lips can occur throughout the year if not taken proper care of. They are bound to get flaky, dry and cracky almost leaving blisters on our much-loved possessions. 

Chapped lips are often caused by the dry weather but mostly it is caused by licking which dries out the lips. Dehydration is also a major problem. The dryness can also cause bleeding which none of us wants along with redness and a sensation of burning. Chapped lips can often bring down your confidence around people because they can put off people. Don't worry, try these remedies to get smooth, sensual and plump lips.
