Translation: machine translated
It tightens, burns and flakes: lips are often chapped, especially in winter. How you can care for them and what you should avoid.
Lips have no sebaceous glands
Alternatively, these three quick tips can help:
1. make a lip scrub
Smear Vaseline on your lips and add some brown cane sugar. Then rub gently over your lips in circular motions to remove dead skin cells. Alternatively, you can use a toothbrush instead of sugar for the massage. The bristles of the "Green Clean Toothbrush" from Jordan, for example, are soft and made from organic materials.
Attention: You should not use such a scrub more than twice a week so that your lips are not overstressed.
2. drink more
3. use home remedies
