3 Easy Ways To Avoid Dry Lips!

When you’re noticing that your lips are quite dry, you may wonder what to do. You probably ask yourself why it’s happening and if you should be changing something, so your previously pristine pout is no longer akin to sandpaper. Fortunately, there are often some very easy things you can do to stop the dryness from occurring and to add moisture back in where it’s been lost. Take some tips from our Cleveland, TX team into consideration, so you can protect your lip health with ease. Still not sure you’re on track? Come see our team soon for a visit.

#1: Watch What You’re Using On Your Face!

It’s very easy to forget that whatever you use on your complexion every day (possibly multiple times a day) is likely making its way to your lip tissue. When products contain drying ingredients like alcohol, etc., your facial skin may be able to handle it but this may not bode well for your lip health. Simply be mindful around this delicate area to ensure your lips don’t become exposed!

#2: Drink Lots Of Water

One of the things we always mention during your checkups if you’re dealing with any type of oral dryness is to ensure you’re drinking a lot of water. What do we really mean by this? Basically, make sure you’re drinking enough for your body every day. This generally comes out to about 64 ounces. This promotes oral moisture, which is essential not only for your lip health but for your oral health, too. If you have been doing this but you think you’re still suffering from dry mouth, schedule a visit to talk with our team!
