Winter relief for dry lips

If the cold weather wasn't bad enough, another side effect of winter is the dry skin that plagues the majority of us once the temperatures drop. In particular, I notice myself reaching for the chap stick twice as often as I normally would, to soothe my almost painfully dry lips. You too?

Everyday Health has a list of things you can do to keep your lips from drying out this winter:

• Protect and moisturize lips with beeswax or petroleum jelly.
  
• Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated
• Keep a humidifier running in your house
• Avoid the sun and wind
• When you are outdoors, wear sunscreen on your lips.
  

And don't forget to pack your chap stick with you everywhere you go!
